Self-Healing Capability
You’ve taken charge of your inner healing. You’re your own healer. I call you that now because you really are.
Vex King highlights the empowering idea that each person holds the power to heal themselves.
This isn’t about dismissing professional help but recognizing that the core of healing lies within our own capabilities.
It’s about taking responsibility for our emotional and psychological well-being, knowing we have the tools and strength to overcome our challenges.
This mindset fosters self-reliance and confidence, encouraging us to take proactive steps in our healing journey.
Power of Letting Go
One of the biggest obstacles to inner healing work is a desire to cling on to the past – our inability to let go of what’s been prevents us from moving forward into what could be.
Letting go of past experiences can be incredibly challenging, but it is essential for healing.
King points out that holding onto old wounds keeps us stuck in the past, preventing growth and new opportunities.
By releasing these attachments, we make space for new, positive experiences and personal development.
It’s a process that requires courage and patience but ultimately leads to freedom and peace.
Impact of Trauma
Trauma is the enduring emotional and psychological pain that often results when we live through an experience that our brain is unable to process properly for some reason.
Trauma can linger long after the actual event, affecting our emotional and psychological health.
King explains that trauma is not just about the event itself but how our brain processes it. When our brain cannot fully understand or integrate the experience, it leaves a lasting mark.
Understanding this helps us approach our pain with compassion and seek appropriate ways to process and heal from these deep wounds.
Holistic Healing
Trauma doesn’t exist in a vacuum – it affects all seven of our bodies. And because each body plays a part in how we feel, move, breathe, act, and live, inner healing cannot take place if only one body is healed.
Vex King advocates for a holistic approach to healing, recognizing that trauma impacts every part of our being.
This means addressing not just the physical symptoms but also the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects.
By working on all these levels, we can achieve comprehensive healing and a sense of harmony within ourselves.
It’s a reminder that true healing is multifaceted and requires attention to all parts of our being.
Emotional Storage in the Body
The etheric body is where we store our emotional experiences, which then go on to form our perception of ourselves, other people, and the world.
Emotions get stored in the body, particularly in what Vex refers to as the etheric body. These stored emotions shape our perceptions and interactions with the world.
Recognizing this connection can help us understand why certain physical sensations or reactions occur in response to emotional triggers.
This awareness is the first step in releasing these stored emotions and changing our perceptions for the better.
Interconnectedness of Bodies
To vibrate on a high level and feel alive and rich with energy and positivity, each one of our seven bodies, or layers of the self, needs to be working in harmony with the others.
Our well-being depends on the harmony between all parts of ourselves.
King describes how each of the seven bodies must be aligned and balanced to maintain high energy levels and a positive outlook.
Here are the seven bodies Vex discusses in the book:
- Physical Body: This is the most obvious and tangible body, which we use to experience, sense, feel, and express.
- Etheric Body: Closely linked with our emotions, this body stores emotional experiences and develops our perception of ourselves, others, and the world.
- Astral Body: Associated with reason, intellect, and logical thinking, it develops through interactions with the world and can be focused on to change thinking patterns and habits.
- Mental Body: This body goes beyond logic and reason, emphasizing intuition and deeper mental power. It helps create a subjective world that adds to life’s fullness.
- Spiritual Body: This body is about connection, opening us up to a deeper connection with our true self, which is steady and peaceful.
- Cosmic Body: It allows us to go beyond the self and feel our connection with everything, experiencing a sense of belonging to a larger whole.
- Nirvanic Body: This body represents ultimate freedom, a sense of liberation where nothing can hold us back from being who we are.
This interconnectedness means that neglecting one aspect can affect the others. By fostering harmony among all our bodies, we can achieve a vibrant, fulfilling life.
Role of Awareness
When it comes to healing, awareness is key. You’ve got to be willing to notice what’s going on with you, and it’s crucial to develop tools that allow you to focus, become present, and acknowledge how you’re doing in this moment.
Awareness is fundamental to healing.
King stresses the importance of being present and mindful of our current state.
This means noticing our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without judgment.
Developing this awareness allows us to understand ourselves better and address our needs more effectively, paving the way for genuine healing.
Healing Through Connection
This body is about connection. When we work with it, we open ourselves up to a deeper connection with our true Self – that’s the self at our core: that steadiness and peace that exists within us, always.
Connecting with our true selves is a crucial aspect of healing.
King explains that by nurturing this connection, we can access the steadiness and peace that resides within us.
This deeper self-awareness and acceptance help us navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and calm.
It’s about finding and maintaining that inner peace, regardless of external circumstances.
Transformative Power of Healing
Inner healing is a means for creating a better world, and so we must invest in it – not only for our own sake but also for that of others.
Healing ourselves has a ripple effect on the world around us.
King believes that by investing in our inner healing, we contribute to creating a better, more compassionate world.
Healed people are more likely to help others and spread positivity. This insight encourages us to see our healing journey as part of a larger mission to improve humanity.
Healing as a Journey
Healing isn’t a linear process – we move two steps forward and one step back on all levels. Gradually, healing can ripple out, like a stone tossed into a pool of still water; each ripple penetrates the trauma and replaces it with healing energy.
The path to healing is not straightforward.
King acknowledges that progress often involves setbacks, but each effort contributes to the overall healing process.
Like ripples in water, each small step we take spreads healing energy throughout our being. This perspective helps us stay patient and committed, understanding that every effort counts.
Vex King’s “Healing Is the New High” offers profound insights into the journey of inner healing, emphasizing the importance of holistic care, self-awareness, and personal responsibility.
By understanding and applying these insights, we can navigate our healing journey more effectively, leading to greater resilience, peace, and positivity.
Remember, healing is a continuous process, and each step forward, no matter how small, brings us closer to a more vibrant and fulfilling life.
