The body is designed to heal itself. Cuts scab over, the liver regenerates, and bones knit themselves back together. It can be fast or slow, depending on your state of being. The way we respond to our experiences shows whether we’re empowering the body to heal.
Energy systems make up our physical reality, and as conscious humans, we use our attention to shape that reality. Our focal point shapes different perspectives and choices about our healing, shifting our experience.
These energetic shifts are subtle, but make a huge impact over time. Here are some weird tricks you can use to focus and shift your attention towards healing.
Talk to Your Body in the Mirror
Louise Hay is known for her “mirror work.” There’s something extremely powerful about talking directly to your reflection. It may seem silly at first, but if you reference Dr. Masaru Emoto’s famous water crystal or rice experiments, there’s scientific proof that what we say matters.
The instructions we give our body are either constructive or destructive. You can trick the subconscious into adopting a new perspective and instructions by talking positively to and about yourself, and getting the feelings to follow.
Hating, shaming, and berating yourself when you look in the mirror only invites more of those feelings. This energy doesn’t allow for change and keeps you locked in a destructive cycle.
Whatever you tell your body, it responds accordingly. Can you look yourself in the eyes and say, “I love you”? What do you say to yourself on a regular basis? Are you willing to change it to something more constructive that feels better?
Go into the Pain
Quite often, when we’re in pain, we try to get rid of it. Physical or emotional pain is never fun, but many of us have been taught that it’s “bad” and should be avoided.
Of course, we want to soothe the pain, not dismiss it. But what about going into the pain? By pinpointing where the intensity lives in your body as you’re feeling it, and letting it run its course while you stay present?
What would it feel like to focus on the one spot in your body that’s screaming for attention? Could you imagine being inside your body, experiencing the sensation from both sides? Can you create space for the pain to exist as it is, without trying to change or chase it?
The trick is you’ve got to go in to get out. Physical or emotional, your body’s signaling it needs your attention. It seems counterintuitive, but what would happen if you gave it a try?
Write a New Story
The stories we tell ourselves on repeat about our identity solidify and eventually become our beliefs.
We believe that we’re “anxious” or “incurable” or “broken.” In reality, that’s not our essence. It’s a character part we’ve chosen to play, refusing to give up the role after the final performance.
You get to decide when that final show is. The moment you begin to write a new narrative, everything shifts. Each new choice you make changes the trajectory of your timeline.
You write a new story when you’ve decided you’ve had enough of the old one. When you go out on a limb and experience new things. If you choose differently when caught in an old pattern. At first, the new story might feel unfamiliar or even untrue, and that’s okay. You’re not trying to force belief overnight; you’re practicing a different direction. The mind tends to cling to what’s known, even if it’s limiting, so stepping into a new narrative requires patience and repetition. Each time you catch yourself defaulting to the old story and gently redirect, you loosen its grip.
Eventually, you start feeling differently about yourself and life. That’s when you might notice things have shifted on the outside. What once felt like pretending begins to feel natural. This is how identity shifts happen – not in one grand moment, but through small, consistent choices that reinforce who you’re becoming.
What are you telling yourself as your default story? Is it empowering or disempowering? It might seem weird, but your words matter more than you think. The biggest trick to healing is aligning your words to what you’re creating for yourself.
If you want your body to heal, do your words, thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions reflect that? If not, what needs to change to be more aligned?
