Key components to consider:

• Choosing appropriate methods: Select therapies and practices that resonate with your needs.

• Scheduling and consistency: Plan regular sessions and stick to them.

• Monitoring progress: Keep track of improvements and setbacks.

  
  

By breaking down the process into manageable steps, you can create a program that is both effective and sustainable.

Steps to Design Your Healing Program

Designing your healing program involves thoughtful planning and self-reflection. Here are practical steps to guide you:

1. Identify Your Healing Goals

Start by asking yourself what you want to achieve. Are you aiming to reduce anxiety, heal a physical injury, improve sleep, or enhance overall vitality? Write down your goals clearly. For example:

• Reduce chronic back pain within 3 months.

• Improve emotional resilience and reduce stress.

• Establish a daily meditation routine.

  
  

2. Research Healing Modalities

Explore different healing methods such as Pilates, acupuncture, herbal remedies, counselling, or group prayers. If you prefer natural approaches, herbal medicine and mindfulness might be suitable.

3. Incorporate Self-Healing Practices

Integrating self-healing practices into your program can empower you to take an active role in your recovery. These practices might include breathing exercises, guided visualisations, Prayer or gentle movement therapies. They are accessible and can be done at home, making them a valuable part of your routine.

4. Create a Schedule

Consistency is key. Design a weekly schedule that balances healing activities with rest. For example:

• Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 30 minutes of walking

• Daily: 10 minutes of prayer

  
  

5. Prepare Your Environment

Set up a healing space at home that is calm and inviting. This could be a corner with cushions, candles, and plants where you can practice meditation or gentle stretches.

6. Track Your Progress

Keep a journal to note changes in your symptoms, mood, and energy levels. This will help you adjust your program as needed.

Tools and Techniques to Include in Your Healing Program

Remember this is only for you, so you can be flexible and not to harsh on yourself if you cant stick to it. Give room for movement. A well-rounded healing program fo yourself combines various tools and techniques. Here are some effective options:

Physical Therapies

• Gentle exercise: Pilates, light weights, gym or walking, whether in the park, forest, around the city and allow your soul to feed. Observe the environment, faces you pass.

• Acupuncture: Monthly or try once to see how your body feels.

  
  

Emotional Healing

• Mindfulness prayer: Enhances awareness and reduces stress, factual results have shown that prayer can quicken healing. In sickness and in speeding injury. (I will write up some more about this) When you connect to a Love that stretches beyond time, that's infinite, you allow God to begin to take your hand and lead. Leading in our lives can be one of our main stresses.. You may question: Am I working right? Could be doing something better? How can I improve in my work and love life? All these questions, you can just hand over to Jesus.. Ask him to lead the way..

• Journaling: Helps process emotions and track healing.

• Cognitive behavioural techniques: Challenge negative thoughts and build resilience.

  
  

Nutritional Support

• Balanced diet: Focus on whole foods rich in vitamins and minerals.

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to support detoxification.

• Supplements: Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on vitamins or herbs.

  
  

Spiritual Practices

• Bible Study : Read a few pages of the New Testament and tune into Jesus words

• Gratitude practice & Prayer: Cultivates positive mindset and emotional well-being. Praying is shown to actually improve your health, and for others.

• Nature connection: Spending time outdoors to ground and rejuvenate.

Sacred Pilgrimage

• Divine Codes Journey : Embark on a path that invites you to walk down the evolution of your life, by moving out of what you know a walk amongst lands that house an ancient story. Trigger a memory, as you walk the pilgrim way into the Great Pyramid, a ancient building that marks a Holy song calling for you to shift the air around you and offer prayers into the world. Inviting those monumental prayers into your own.

  
  

Tips for Staying Motivated and Committed

Maintaining motivation throughout your healing journey can be challenging. Here are some strategies to help you stay on track:

• Set small milestones: Celebrate each achievement, no matter how minor.

• Find a support system: Share your goals with friends, family, or support groups. Find inspiring people, and explore other Church communities.

• Be flexible: Adjust your program if something isn’t working.

• Practice self-compassion: Healing takes time; be patient with yourself.

• Visualise success: Imagine how you will feel once healed.

  
  

  

  Practice Forgiveness / Help others in need

  Go out of your way and help someone, they could be homeless, or an elderly soul may need your help to cross the road. Be ready, to be of service.

  Forgiveness is a crucial aspect of healing. Consider reaching out to those you may have unresolved feelings towards. Reflect on:

  • Who you need to forgive.

  • How forgiveness can free you from past burdens.

  • Ways to express your feelings, either through conversation or writing.

    
    

  Be Patient with Yourself

  Healing is a journey that takes time. Remember to:

  • Practice self-compassion.

  • Celebrate small victories along the way.

  • Allow yourself to feel and process your emotions.

  By integrating these simple acts into your life, you can create a nurturing healing practice that promotes growth and inner peace.
