Definition:

Self-healing is about creating the inner conditions that allow the natural regenerative capacities of the body and nervous system to come forward. Science tells us it is the parasympathetic nervous system that allows the self-healing mechanism of the body to function. Trust what feels nourishing for your body. Make any small or large adjustments that bring you more ease.

Mantras:

I pay attention to what my body is telling me.

My body knows how to heal, and I choose to support it

“The body does not give up on us, so we can’t give up on it. My goal is always to work with my body, not against it, so that it can function efficiently–Paula Abdul
