Self Heal - Awareness of our healing needs; self-nurture and self-care; understanding the language of the body and its symptoms. Trusting the body’s healing wisdom. Turning from a path of self-destruction back towards healing; letting go of habits which lead to ill-health.

Self-Heal is an essence which helps us to understand the call of our body to heal, and to respond to this. It helps us to stop, soften and surrender to the level our body actually is at rather than at the level we think it should be. It helps us recognize our healing needs and change any potentially damaging trajectory we may be on in life, correcting our course for one that is more nurturing. Our well-being is intimately linked with our ability to read and understand the communications of our body through our thoughts, feelings and physical symptoms. The more we are sensible of and connected with this inner feedback, the more we are able to live happy and fulfilling lives.

Self-Heal helps us to fall in love with the vital process of self-care. This is not as a hypochondriacal obsession with our bodily symptoms but a mindful inner process where we respect the message of our own body when it is telling us we are becoming out of balance, and where we heed its call to return to a more harmonious way of being. As we gain this self-knowledge we can begin to live in a way which truly nourishes and nurtures – and this is truly a prerequisite for healing. Learning to flow with our health rather than against it makes life sweeter and more enjoyable. It is a relief to let go of the rod with which one has been beating oneself.

In knowing oneself we are each better able to understand and bring support to the healing needs of others. The other common name for this plant is ‘All Heal’. Healing oneself inevitably leads to the healing of others. And at a deeper level, by our very vibration of wholeness, we subliminally touch the fabric of all life with our mindfulness and vitality; our presence becomes a balm
