Self-healing is a process of knowing the right steps to direct your attention into finding a blockage and removing that energy. It is through this process that breakthrough moments become a reality.
I would like to share with you five steps to unlock intentional healing breakthroughs, starting with the presenting issue of the scarcity wound, diving deeper into the root of this wound, and the path that unlocks freedom.
The scarcity wound is deeply connected to our sense of lack. It manifests in thoughts like "I'm not enough," "I don't have enough," or "I will never have enough." This wound is rooted in fear and in a belief that prosperity is out of reach. It keeps us in a state of desperation, preventing us from trusting the flow of life.
To heal the scarcity wound, you need to first identify its presence. You can do this through journaling. Explore through writing where these thoughts appear in your life and how they shape your decisions. Then, gracefully challenge these thoughts by asking yourself, “Is this really the whole story?”
By identifying this wound, you start reclaiming your power from scarcity and opening yourself to abundance.
Once you’ve acknowledged the scarcity wound, the next step is to reconnect with your inherent worth. Healing starts to work when you start seeing yourself as valuable, not because of what you do, have, or achieve, but simply because you exist.
Repeating statements like, “I am worthy of love and abundance,” “I release the need for external approval,” or “I am enough.” can help you rewire your subconscious mind, helping you shift from a place of lack to a place of self-love and sufficiency.
The root wound is often the deepest structure of the presenting problem that lies beneath the surface. Getting down to this level requires an eyes closed practice of spiritual meditation. This helps you explore the inner dimension of higher consciousness. Ask yourself in meditation, "where is the pain or limiting belief living inside of me? Trust what you are directed to. This will take you closer to the root of the issue.
What lies at the core of the structure is the root of the wound. Bringing awareness to this level gives you the power to begin to break the cycle of pain and create a new pattern using your intention.
For many, the feeling of being disconnected from their true self, their purpose, or even the Divine is one of the first systems found in this deconstruction stage. It is here where we can repair the outdated and false information. This stage may take some intentional time, as the root wound is not always immediately obvious.
Once you've identified the root wound, it's time to clear the energy blockages that have built up around it. Energy blockages often manifest physically (tension, illness, fatigue) or emotionally (anxiety, sadness, anger). To move forward, you must release this stagnant energy.
You can do this through various healing practices like spiritual meditation, Reiki, or even a breathwork practice can shift your stuck energy. Another powerful tool is visualization. Allow yourself to feel the freedom that comes with releasing the old energy from your body, emotions, mind, and soul.
Once you've cleared your energy and addressed your wounds, it’s important to set the intention for growth and expansion. Healing doesn’t just end with the release part; it requires active participation in your transformation.
You can create this space by engaging in practices that renew your spirit. Journaling, spending time in nature, and connecting with loved ones can reinforce the energy of freedom. More importantly, allow yourself to dream bigger than you ever have before! Now that you’ve started to feel lighter, you are able to hold new energy, and this translates into living a life that is free of past conditioning and patterns.
Remember, healing is not linear. Each step you take, no matter how small, moves you closer to the freedom you deserve. Be gentle with yourself, and trust that every wound you heal brings you one step closer to the life you want to live.
