If you found this article, you are probably looking for a way to bring healing to the mental and emotional bodies. You may even be wondering if it is possible. Well, the answer to this is YES… Mental and Emotional Healing is always possible as long as you are open to releasing expectations about what the experience will be like or what it will lead to. The reality is that you will never be the same person as you were before whatever happened that you are healing from. That can feel scary, but that can also feel incredibly freeing as you attempt to heal yourself or to help others.
Read on to find out what emotional healing is and how to find it in your own life.
What Is Emotional Healing?
Emotional healing is the process of acknowledging, allowing, accepting, integrating, and processing painful life experiences and strong emotions which will involve empathy, self-regulation, self-compassion, self-acceptance, mindfulness, and integration. Many people tend to want to control the process of emotional healing by minimising the pain and controlling their emotions, but this can inhibit the process of emotional healing. Emotional healing takes the time it takes - which may be longer or shorter than you expect or plan on - if you allow it to be fully acknowledged, felt, moved through, and processed. Emotional healing will look different for everybody but if you start to the Lithium Quartz Mental & Emotional Healing method that I channelled in 2012 you will gain freedom and lightness plus stronger relationships as you can be more present with yourself and your loved ones.
When Do You Need Emotional Healing?
All people will need emotional healing at some point in their life. We all experience challenges and difficult emotions that need processing. Some common life stressors after which people may seek emotional healing include:
Loss of a loved one
Divorce
Breakups
Job loss
Abuse {including emotional, physical and sexual}
Illness
It’s also possible to experience intensifying, lingering, and seemingly unshakeable anger, sadness, or anxiety that feels like it is taking over your life. These feelings may cause a functional impairment in your day-to-day life. Emotional healing may look different if symptoms are becoming chronic. No matter what the trigger for your difficult emotions, mental and emotional healing is possible in all of these scenarios plus many more.
Questions to Ask Yourself Before Healing
I won’t sugarcoat this, emotional healing is not an easy process for the self and also for a client who comes to you for emotional and mental healing but it can be incredibly rewarding for many people to help them find clarity and inspiration in life beyond whatever it is they are healing from. Here are some questions you might want to ask yourself as you embark on your healing journey and particularly if you choose to work with the Lithium Quartz Mental & Emotional Healing Method.
What are you healing from? Maybe you don’t know, but you know you’d like things to be different:
How is not healing affecting your life?
What do you want your life to look like after you’ve healed?
If you woke tomorrow, how would you know you had healed?
Are you ready to heal?
Are you willing to sit through some discomfort by purging old emotions and energy patterns in service of healing?
What will help you on your emotional healing journey?
How has not yet healing served you?
What can you do to make your healing journey gentle for yourself?
Tips for You As You Heal
Practice daily self-healing and self-compassion - you’re not broken. It’s pretty hard to heal if you’re beating yourself up all the time, and since its release, I have worked with many clients using the etheric Lithium Quartz which has shown that those who practice self-compassion after their healing or receive regular healings show greater increases in well-being than those who didn’t.
Thank Yourself
Yes, that’s right, thank yourself. Despite the emotional pain you’ve experienced that’s leading you on this emotional healing journey, you have made it this far. Whatever coping mechanisms you used worked for you at the time, even if they don’t work now, or weren’t the “healthiest” in the first place. Don't go it alone. Science shows we heal better together. Your instinct might be to go into hiding until you are “done” healing, but the reality is that your friends and family probably want to help you! Reach out to someone who feels safe. Don’t try to “fix” it all at once. Emotional healing is not simple, and whatever happened to you likely has deeper roots in you than you realised and may be affecting you in many ways. Back to being realistic: don’t expect to fix all the ways your issue or trauma has affected you all at once. This is often where people fail because they expect healing to occur straight away and for all of their problems to vanish overnight. If only it were that simple but unfortunately, mental and emotional healing needs time and lots of patience.
Sit Through It
This may be one of the hardest things to do. You are likely experiencing a range of deep feelings such as sadness, grief or rage. Those aren’t fun emotions and it’s tempting to want to ignore them or rush through them. It will be uncomfortable but acknowledging tough feelings is part of healing. The good news is that feelings do pass even if it doesn’t feel like they will.
Benefits Of Emotional Healing
Emotional Healing can benefit the mind and body in many ways which bring through positive changes to mind, body & spirit. These include:
Better Cardiovascular Health
Potential longer life span
Lower Cortisol {Stress Hormone} Output
Lower Heart Rate
Less Illness {particularly upper respiratory infections, cold and flu}.
How to Find Emotional Healing
If you are trying to heal your emotional pain, here are some ways that you can embark on your journey to emotional healing. Emotional healing can be incredibly rewarding but it can also be painful in the interim. You might want to consider talking to a mental health professional who is trained in working with people on emotional healing journeys every day. They can help you heal at a pace that is appropriate for you and provide the insight you might not be able to reach on your own.
Getting Help with Mindfulness & Journalling
When we are attempting emotional healing from something, it can be very easy to get pulled back into past events or to catastrophise what the future will be like if you don’t heal. Along with using the Lithium Quartz Mental & Emotional Healing Method, you can also practice Mindfulness. Mindfulness practices can help you be in the present moment and see that, at this moment, you are just fine. Journaling is often suggested and for good reason. Research shows that journaling is an effective way to reach insights into the unconscious by helping people work through their feelings and make meaning of what has happened to them. Allow yourself to feel the fullness of your grief, anger, pain, or loss without attaching further meaning, stories, or thoughts. The Etheric Lithium crystal that is placed into your auric field can also help with this.
Move Your Body
As you are experiencing difficult emotions, try to move your body to help process your feelings. Move your body in ways that it wants to move {i.e., slowly or quickly, shaking or running}. Moving the body to process stress or trauma can be seen in the animal kingdom as well. In his book "Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma," therapist Peter A. Levine notes that in the wild, an impala that escapes its predator will instinctively "shake off" the traumatic event, regaining full movement of its body. Therapeutic techniques like somatic experiencing {SE} and trauma release exercises {TRE} can help process and move trauma and emotions from within the body. SE involves a person becoming aware of their internal bodily sensations and bringing awareness to them. TRE involves a person intentionally moving their body to decrease stress levels.
Getting Support
Be open to receiving support from friends and family including your community. Allow yourself to be seen, supported, and cared for by friends and loved ones.
How Do You Know If You Are Healing
There is no finish line to cross that signifies that you are now a fully healed being! Emotional healing can sometimes be so gradual you may not even realise how much you've healed, and other people may notice it before you. But if you can look back at a situation without being overcome by emotion, you can better bounce back in the face of adversity, or you simply feel a greater sense of peace, this means you are certainly well on your way to emotional healing. There may be deeper and deeper levels of emotional healing to be discovered. Do your best to live in a way that honours and supports your continued journey of emotional healing. This will allow you to experience ever-expanding emotional healing that can improve your physical, emotional, and mental health, well-being, satisfaction in life, and connection to yourself and others.
