The human body tends to heal after a cut or an accident. Where new cells start to form and make it to the place of the wound, rebuilding the place as it used to be. Likewise, our emotions and thoughts also require healing after having gone through traumatized situations and conflicting affairs from external forces. The only difference in healing a person’s body and mind is that the first can be seen, and the latter depends on one’s beliefs. But both ways, healing needs time. It requires you to accept and embrace situations as they are. While we apply medicine to the wound of the injured person, helping him heal. Major healing techniques apply to the mind and heart to get the same relief.
Here we have the three major healing techniques from around the globe, old and new. Read on and set yourself free on the wellness journey, planned and programmed as found relevant.
Ho-Oponopono
The first on our list, among the other major healing techniques, is the ancient Hawaiian prayer, with therapeutical values. It takes four simple steps for someone to start, following the basics of repentance, gratitude, forgiveness, and love. The most important part is that the entire process is indulgent, and you require no one to assist you through the journey.
Just proceed by saying the words in your head, and the universe will take care of the rest. All you need to claim is that your soul is ready to feel and forgive, besides being open to love. Below listed are the four steps of Ho-oponopono:
- I am Sorry (Repentance): While saying this, you need to take charge of the situation and feel responsible. It will help you to emphasize with the situations of others and take challenges seriously.
- Please forgive me (Asking for forgiveness): Now is the time to ask for forgiveness. There is no specific person that we are asking you to seek forgiveness from. Just be sure of the same, feel it, and keep repeating it repeatedly.
- Thank You (Gratitude): Say “Thank You” clearly. It does not have to be a specific person or a thing. Do it for yourself, and thank your body for bearing all the pain on your behalf. Thank God for being there and looking after you.
- I love you (Love): Express love to the air you breathe and your surroundings. Also, the technique tells us to say “I love you” to our challenges and get those solved in real life. There is nothing more potent than love.
