1) Find your starting position

Learn about The Self-Healing Path and discover the seven steps between here and change. According to Shiela Pennington, Ph.D., folks who are faced with chronic illness follow exactly the same steps to affect positive change in their lives. Turns out, everyone living with chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety and stress-related illness can easily apply the exact same stages faced by those who meet a terminal diagnosis.

Not only do the seven steps of The Self-Healing Path make sense, they enable forward/upward progress. Most other programs assume you’re ready to change; for those starting every morning faced with stiffness and pain, there are six other steps which prepare us to be ready for the change.

Self-awareness is key. Having deep-seated belief, meaning, and purpose is vital. Understanding yourself is a must. Discovery of new options and strategizing self-care activities bring about changes in your life. Start here first.

3) Discover & Combine New Self-Care Modalities

We can claim thousands of alternative healing combinations because there’s usually no single “magic bullet” which will help you with your pain (although floatation may come close).

The most effective way to work on healing yourself is by trying and combining many different modalities to find which combinations can become part of your daily or weekly practice. With more than 100 different self-care methods available in the world, there really are thousands of combinations you could try.

However, it doesn’t need to be overly complex to find something that works. You just need to discover a couple of methods you’ve never tried before, and when they work, you roll them into your bag of coping skills and pain management tools. Eventually, you’ll have a dozen new self-care treatments and you’ll start mixing and matching them in different ways.

For example, with a combination of deep breathing techniques, floatation therapy, cold therapy, heat therapy, meditation, Yoga, an anti-inflammatory diet, and education about your self+bodymind relationship, you could expect to make rapid positive traction towards improvement, without drugs or surgery.
