Eight Intentions for Self-Healing: A Practical Guide to Reclaiming Your Personal Power

All healing is self-healing. Modern medicine is a marvel, yet if healing were purely in the treatment, aspirin would relieve every pain, antibiotics would cure every infection, and chemotherapy would eliminate every tumor. Doctors could offer money-back guarantees. But healing isn't just about medicine-it depends on our body's innate ability to heal.

We are all born with the power to self-heal, but burdened by the stressors of modern daily living, we forget that the key to our vibrancy lies within us. Our society shrugs off chronic health challenges as bad genes or the inevitable result of aging, yet epigenetic research and studies of centenarians disprove such notions. It's no secret that nutritious foods, quality sleep, physical activity and resilience to stress are important for optimal health. Instead of outsourcing our well-being to an overburdened healthcare system, we can reclaim our personal power to heal through intentional lifestyle choices.

What makes this book unique is the emphasis on the biofield--the scientifically recognized energy field that surrounds and influences the body. Carolyn Pitts leans into her experience as a Healing Touch Professional to offer novel approaches to self-healing that are accessible to anyone, take minimal time to perform and are highly effective.

These techniques are rooted in ancient wisdom that humans relied on centuries before pharmaceuticals and surgery became the primary tools of medical treatment. Although it may seem woo-woo at first, there is a plethora of scientific research that substantiates the efficacy energy healing.

This practical guide includes:

• An online companion with video demonstrations, guided meditations, downloadable worksheets, and updates on the latest wellness research.
• Simple yet powerful techniques to cultivate inner peace, enhance focus, promote restorative sleep, and strengthen your immune system-accessible to anyone, even children.
• Introspective journaling prompts to help reprogram limiting beliefs and reclaim your personal power.
• Assessments to deepen your self-awareness, personalize priorities, and track progress over time.
