8 points for "self-healing

A healing is always a "self-healing"!

When we get sick, our body immediately starts healing, all by itself. The healing powers of nature are tremendous.

However, self-healing is also a question of inner attitude, as strange as it sounds, some people want to be sick. For very different reasons. For example, some sick people just want attention, some flee into self-pity, others even want to die because their life seems "hard" and "pointless".

The majority of people, however, do not want to be sick; the natural healing mechanisms of their bodies function all by themselves.

As Buddhists we know that everything comes anyway exactly as it must come. So it is also already predetermined whether we get sick, and of course whether we get well. This is all already written.

So it is also already written, if you, for example after reading this text, think about your "I", if you reach a positive, creative "state" of your physical, mental and spiritual life.

Health is the wish of most people. But just not from everyone.

If you are suffering from an illness you should ask yourself if you are not "subconsciously" throwing "sand in the gears", question your "I", your goals!

Can it be that the "illness" has its causes in worries, in overload or stress? Or are there other reasons?

You have the power within you to end all negative and self-destructive influences.

You ask yourself how this could work?

1. take away all energy from negative thoughts, take away all power from harmful moods. Instead, focus on the Buddha's teachings, fill your mind palace with the concept of "enlightenment."

2. no matter how bad a thing is, smile, you can't change anything anyway.

3. look for the good in every situation. Everything "bad" contains something "good", and even if they are out of proportion, look for the "positive". Focus exclusively and ALWAYS on the positive aspects of every situation!

4. avoid the disaster news on TV and in the media, do a "news detox". There are not only "bad" things in the world, but positive things do not make good headlines. In a "sick" world, horror and horror just sells a lot better.

5. sort out "negative" from their lives, things and people that burden you are wrong in their environment.

Positive thinking always leads to positive feelings. Not everything is "bad" in life, what is "positive", what have you already achieved, what situations have you already mastered, what comes to mind spontaneously now? Do not be the "victim" of bad moods!

7. set yourself goals, what can you realistically and easily achieve, in the short term, medium term and long term, where should the journey go? Maybe even to your personal "enlightenment"?

8. first accept the situation as it is right now. From NOW on, practice "mindfulness". What is especially good right NOW, in this moment?

The best doctors in the world are: "Dr. Calm, Dr. Diet, and Dr. Cheerfulness."
