Did you know that talking to yourself can actually be a very powerful way of exploring who you are and finding effective and meaningful healing options in your life? Whether you want to overcome habits and patterns or illnesses and imbalances, engaging yourself in positive self dialog can give you insights and answers that can be truly healing on every level! Today I'd like to share some simple strategies that you can use anytime to learn more about who you are and explore new ways to get your life where you want it to be... all by chatting yourself up!
Asking Deep Questions
The best way to get answers in life is to ask questions. If you want to know more about why things are the way they are in your body, mind, emotions, or spirit, just ask! Taking time to relax yourself, connect to the thing you want to interview, then ask direct questions just may lead you to surprising places. In order to ask questions that get answers...
- Don't second guess yourself. If an answer comes up, it's meaningful.
- Ask questions that really get to the heart of the matter
- Try not to be afraid of the answers you'll get
Let's say that you're dealing with anger towards your boss and you want to let it go but your mind seems to be obsessing about it. All you need to do is sit down and say something like "What is the purpose for this anger"? Maybe the answer that will come up is "Your boss hurt your feelings". You can then continue to go deeper with the questions by asking "How did my boss hurt my feelings"? Then, "Why does my boss have the power to hurt my feelings", and eventually "What can I do to heal this situation".
You'll find that in addition to getting practical answers right from the power center of your subconscious mind, you'll also learn more about how you process emotions, thoughts, and sensations which can be extremely enlightening!
In addition to chatting with thoughts and emotions, you can also dialog with pain. You can ask your knee "What is the reason for this pain, what lessons does it offer?" and so on. Sometimes connecting with your body in this way opens up great channels of healing potential!
We have the power to heal within ourselves, and this is just one way of tapping into it!
Here's to our health and happiness!
