Paths to Healing: A Guide to Self-Healing and Spiritual Growth

Introduction

There are many paths to healing and spiritual growth, so which one should you choose? I know how I got to the point that I am at with my healing, but would my approach be best for you? Not necessarily.

There are definitely certain things that need to be incorporated into your life for healing to occur. The first thing is that you need to not be utilizing substances for the purpose of avoiding what you feel. Without a clear mind, the communication between your mind and your soul will be more difficult, if not impossible.

Understanding the Energy of Healing

When we do something harmful to our body, we put ourselves in a negative energy state: guilt. Guilt, just like anger, sadness, shame, etc., are all negative energy states. Because energy frequencies attract back the same energy frequencies, you cannot access incredible guidance from anyone who is not on the same frequency.

Your soul and spirit guides exist in the energy frequencies of love and compassion. These frequencies are “higher” and obviously feel better because they are better. When you hold the energy frequencies of love, compassion, patience, and truth within you, you can connect with those incredible energies on the other side.

How to Connect with Your Spiritual Team

Did you know you have a spiritual team? Did you know they also want what’s best for you in this lifetime? Can you connect to a creator, angels, or any other energy on the “other side” held in love and light? Yes—if you match their energy.

When it comes to the use of substances, there is a difference between enjoying an alcoholic beverage for its taste versus utilizing it as a way to avoid feeling things. Any substance or behavior that you are doing with the intention of avoiding painful emotions is a complete and total block to spiritual connection and self-healing.

Even if you’re incredibly good at convincing yourself that you’re really not doing anything harmful to yourself, your subconscious knows the truth, just as your soul does. Your soul wants you to be in higher, positive energy states such as truth and honesty. Not only are those energy states more pleasant to experience, but they are also a necessary part of connecting to the energy world, which is where you can receive incredible guidance in the form of truth and clarity.

The Importance of Self-Honesty for Emotional Healing

The second component needed for healing and spirtual growth is blatant honesty with yourself. If you can’t face the things you are unhappy about, you can’t release them and move forward with growth and positive change.

We have all done things that we are not proud of, and it is meant to be a part of this experience. Do you hold onto that guilt or shame and allow it to keep you from finding happiness? You could choose to do that, or you could learn from it, never do it again, and release the negative energy held within it. Need help getting there? We all do.

Recommended Healing Programs and Resources

I typically recommend certain programs of healing and growth that I have found incredibly helpful, such as:

• Dr. Joe Dispenza’s program called Rewired – Focused on the power of the mind and energy healing.

• Jeffrey Allen’s Program Called Duality – Available on Mind Valley, helping people balance energy and develop spiritual awareness.

Are these programs the perfect fit for everyone? Not necessarily. You should feel drawn towards whichever program or programs you explore. Trust the guidance of your soul. Look into many sources of healing and pay attention to what you feel drawn toward.

During a reading, when I connect with your soul, I typically receive very specific needs of your soul for your growth, as well as your main “purpose” for this life. When trauma from previous lives is influencing your ability for growth in this life, that is also shown to me.

Whether or not you utilize me for insights and growth, self-help books, online programs, or all of the above, you must first decide that you want growth, truth, and clarity.

Final Thoughts on the Path to Healing

In summary, honesty with yourself is necessary regardless of your path to healing and spiritual growth. From there, you can decide if your use of substances or any other behavior that you use to avoid feeling your feelings is healthy or a hindrance to your growth and healing.

Know that you are not alone in your feelings and struggles. Know that self-criticism is not the path to healing and growth. Know that you are loved more than you can possibly imagine. Know that you are worth it.
