The 1-2-3’s of Healing

A Guide to Unlocking Your Body’s Innate Ability to Heal

Healing is not just about taking the right supplements, following a treatment plan, or waiting for time to work its magic. True healing begins from within and there are three fundamental components that play a crucial role in the process. If we want to heal, we must:

1. Believe healing is possible
2. Know we are worthy and deserving of healing
3. Truly want and desire to heal

Let’s break these down and explore why each one is essential for transformation and well-being.

1. Believe That Healing is Possible

If you do not believe that healing is possible, it simply won’t happen. Our thoughts shape our reality, and if you have already decided that your condition is permanent, your body will respond accordingly. This is where the power of belief comes in. The placebo effect has shown us time and time again that belief alone can create profound physiological changes in the body.

Yet, many of us take a doctor’s diagnosis as an unchangeable fate. While doctors provide invaluable expertise, their knowledge is based on past cases, medical literature and what they have seen and studied. But what about the unexplained recoveries? The people who have healed beyond what science deemed possible? If you choose to believe in the possibility of healing, you open the door for it to occur.

Your body is always listening to your mind. If you believe healing is possible, your body will work to make it happen. We often underestimate the incredible, innate healing intelligence within us. When we get our minds out of the way – free from doubt and limiting beliefs – our bodies can and will heal.

2. Know That You Are Worthy and Deserving of Healing

Many people struggle with the idea that they deserve healing. There’s often an unconscious belief that others – those who are sicker, suffering more, or “more deserving”- should receive healing before them. But healing has no limits! It’s not a resource that runs out if too many people tap into it.

If you don’t believe you are worthy of healing, you will unknowingly sabotage your own progress. You will resist the very steps that could bring relief and recovery. The truth is, you are just as worthy and deserving of healing as anyone else. Your well-being matters. You do not need to suffer to justify receiving love, care, or support. When you know your worth, you allow yourself to receive healing fully and completely.

3. Truly Want and Desire to Heal

This one can be a tough realization for many. Sometimes, we hold onto illness or injury because, at a deeper level, it serves a purpose in our lives. Maybe it keeps us from facing uncomfortable changes, allows us to receive attention and care, or gives us a reason to slow down. While this is often unconscious, it is important to ask: What am I getting out of this illness or injury?

Healing requires change, and change can be scary. If you heal, will new expectations be placed on you? Will you need to make lifestyle shifts that feel overwhelming? Your ego may resist healing because healing means stepping into the unknown. But here’s the truth: change – and the unknown – becomes much less scary when you know your worth.

When you desire healing more than you fear change, the path becomes clear. But you must be honest with yourself – are you truly ready to heal?

A Time for Reflection

This week, take some time to reflect on these three components of healing:

1. Do you truly believe that healing is possible for you?
2. Do you know, without a doubt, that you are worthy and deserving of healing?
3. Do you deeply desire to heal, or is there something holding you back?

Healing is not just about the physical body; it is about the mind, heart and Soul working together in alignment. When we acknowledge these truths, we step into our full power and allow healing to unfold naturally.

But this doesn’t stop at healing. These three fundamental components – belief, worthiness and desire – can shift anything in your life. Whether you are seeking peace, love, acceptance, financial security, a new job, a better relationship, a car, or a home, applying these principles will help you manifest the good you desire. When you align your mind, emotions and energy with what you truly want, you open the door for it to come into your life.
