The beauty of alternate healing is that it is so simple, so positive and so easy to understand and apply. The bases of many therapies lies in understanding the mind, body, soul connection and treating any ailment in totality. Rather than suppressing symptoms, it addresses a whole lot of issues and ensures whatever happens is for the highest good of all. What’s more all it requires are 2 critical factors, the first and most important one, a willingness to heal and secondly faith in its working.
Over the years I’ve discovered that alternate healing is not only powerful, it is very empowering. It makes one gradually believe that it works and subtly builds a sense of belief in ones self. The tools are right here, and if we learn how to use them, we can help ourselves and others. I remember years ago a Chinese healer told me “if you cannot heal yourself, how can you heal another?” The words have always lingered in my mind, and with her words I’ve gone to research, explore, experiment with a number of alternate therapies like Crystal Healing, Colour Therapy, Aromatherapy in the hope of helping myself to eventually help others better.
Allow me to share a few safe, simple tips you may like to try out on yourself and in your home to usher in positive energy.
Negative Energy collects after a disagreement with loved ones and sometimes you can walk into a particular room and feel the brittleness in the air. Burn some purifying sandalwood, jasmine or frankincense in that particular room in incense/essential oil form to release and purify the negative energies. Amethyst, a lovely purple coloured stone placed by the bedside helps absorb a lot of stress, promoting serenity and a worry free sleep. Lavender works very well as a stress reliever and I find the scent lingers for days long after the essential oil burns out.
All of us have days when we are blue and de-motivated. Lacking our usual inner fire we find chores and commitments to be a drag. Wearing yellow, orange or red immediately perks up the system. Lemon is a wonderful pick me up and clears. Shower with a Lemon based gel or use lemon soap, and if you can pick up some Lemon Incense/Essential Oil burn some for a greater clarity, motivation and zest. Yellow Topaz and Citrine are wonderful crystals for concentration, vitality and clarity. These recommendations also work with children who are unable to concentrate fully on their studies.
Love is the most powerful energy force there is on this planet. And sometimes it needs a little gentle nudge to reveal itself in full glory. The heavenly scent of Rose in any form (talc, perfume, essential oil, incense) has been revered for centuries in promoting feelings of love for one self and attracting love as well. Wear pink to boost feelings of self love and to spread love. And in terms of crystals, the most basic Rose Quartz, a gentle pink stone is renowned for its soothing, loving vibrations it releases in a room or ones body in the form of a bracelet or pendant.
As a final note, it’s heartening to know positive energy has always been around us and is around us in abundance. Why not tap into the bounty of the Universe and draw in the goodness?
