#2: Pranayama
Pranayama is a system of breathing exercises that can significantly increase your energy level and calm your mind.
Prana is the Sanskrit word for breath, life force, or vital principle. Ayāma can be translated as the suspension of breath or control. Thus, pranayama means control over vital energy.
Prana is the vital energy that fills everything in the Universe. It saturates all living things with life, providing physical bodies with strength. Breathing allows us to absorb prana and control its flow.
Here are some healing benefits that daily pranayama practice can offer us:
- longevity increase;
- supports lung function;
- emotional balance;
- cardiovascular function improvement;
- deepens concentration;
- helps in bringing down hypertension;

#3: Mantras
A healing mantra is a combination of sounds of a certain frequency. By chanting a healing mantra, we affect the area of the body that needs healing with healing sound vibration. Sound vibrations get into resonance with the diseased organs and at a subtle level correct their condition. Regular practice of the healing mantras will help you improve not only your health and the health of your loved ones but also boost your energy levels and cleanse your energy body of negativity.
Different healing mantras have different benefits. Generally speaking, healing mantra practice can be used for:
- charging water for changing the crystal structure of matter;
- alleviating suffering, reducing mental and physical pain;
- treating nervous disorders and severe depressive states;
- treating psychosomatic diseases;
- reducing chronic fatigue;

Healing affirmations are short phrases containing a verbal healing formula that, when repeated many times, activates the healing process in the subconscious of a person, contributing to the improvement of his psycho-emotional background and stimulating positive changes in his health and wellbeing.
With the help of healing affirmations, you can reprogram your mind from lack of energy and illness to vitality and health. If you learn to direct the energy of your thoughts to health and wellbeing you will eventually start feeling better, more energized, and will notice that you’re more healthy than ever.

#7: Reparenting Your Inner Child
No matter how big or small we are, almost each of us has experienced some kind of childhood trauma. These traumas can be different: your favorite toy was thrown in the trash; you were abandoned by your childhood best friend; physical or emotional abuse by parents or adults. Inner child healing is a vital component of your self-healing because it reconnects us with the wounded element of ourselves – the inner child.
Working on your inner child healing is the process of communicating, understanding, accepting, and healing your inner child. Your inner child represents your first true identity when you entered this world. She/he contains your ability to experience surprise, joy, innocence, sensitivity, and playfulness.
When we reject and stifle the voice of the inner child, we accumulate heavy psychological baggage. This unexplored and unresolved baggage causes us to face problems such as mental illness, physical ailments, and the inability to build healthy relationships.
When we reconnect with the wounded element of ourselves – our inner child, we begin to discover the root of many of our fears, phobias, insecurities, and self-sabotaging of life. And then we become able to understand the psychological reason that led us to our health problems and heal.
