Meditation
Having been diagnosed with ADHD, I believed that meditation was an impossible feat. However, I decided to persevere and give it a genuine effort. To my surprise, with dedication and patience, I have not only managed to incorporate meditation into my daily routine but have also experienced profound benefits as a result. Your efforts will also be worth it.

Journaling
Journaling provides a structured outlet for expressing thoughts and emotions, helping to clarify and organise them. This practice can significantly reduce stress by allowing you to release pent-up feelings and enhance emotional regulation. Regular journaling promotes self-understanding, tracks personal growth, and improves problem-solving skills. Additionally, reflecting on positive experiences boosts mood and gratitude, while writing about difficult events aids in emotional healing and processing. Overall, journaling is a simple yet powerful tool for supporting mental and emotional well-being.

Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy helps by using the natural essences of plants, known as essential oils, to promote physical and emotional well-being. When inhaled or applied to the skin, these oils can stimulate areas of the brain responsible for emotions and memory, leading to reduced stress, enhanced mood, and improved relaxation. Additionally, certain essential oils have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that can alleviate physical discomfort. Overall, aromatherapy provides a holistic approach to wellness, combining sensory pleasure with therapeutic benefits.
​
-
Essential Oils: Use essential oils in a diffuser or apply them topically to promote relaxation and healing.
​
-
Herbal Remedies: Incorporate herbs like lavender, chamomile, and peppermint into your self-care routine.
Sound Healing
As discussed previously, there are so many benefits to sound healing. Sound healing and binaural beats help by using specific frequencies and rhythmic sounds to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance mental clarity. Sound healing involves instruments like crystal singing bowls or gongs, which produce vibrations that resonate with the body’s energy centers, promoting balance and healing. Binaural beats, created by playing slightly different frequencies in each ear, can alter brainwave activity, leading to states of deep relaxation, improved focus, or enhanced meditation. Together, these auditory therapies provide a holistic approach to well-being, leveraging the power of sound to foster emotional and physical harmony.
​
-
Crystal Singing Bowls: Listen to or play crystal singing bowls to balance your energy and promote relaxation.
​
-
Binaural Beats: Use binaural beat recordings to enhance meditation and relaxation.
Physical Excercise
Ever had that after gym buzz? Not only does exercise improve your physical health but when you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which are natural mood elevators that help reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being. Exercise also improves blood flow, boosts energy levels, and supports mental clarity and cognitive function. Regular physical activity can help maintain a healthy weight, improve sleep quality, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases, making it a key component of a balanced and healthy lifestyle. No gym membership needed!

Self Energy Healing
In the absence of professional energy clearing, it is highly beneficial to incorporate self-energy clearing exercises into your routine. Practices such as meditation, deep breathing, visualisation, and chakra balancing can help maintain a healthy energy flow and alleviate minor blockages. These exercises empower you to take control of your own well-being, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and enhancing your overall energy balance. While professional sessions offer a deeper and more comprehensive clearing, self-healing techniques provide an accessible and effective way to support your energetic health and maintain harmony in your daily life. Feel free to contact me or sign up to the newsletter if you would like more detailed self-clearing tips and techniques.

Creative Expression
Creative expression works by allowing you to channel your thoughts, emotions, and experiences into various artistic forms, such as writing, painting, music, dance, or other creative activities. This process provides an outlet for self-exploration and emotional release, helping to process and make sense of complex feelings. Engaging in creative expression stimulates the brain's reward pathways, releasing endorphins and fostering a sense of accomplishment and well-being. It also encourages problem-solving and innovative thinking, as you experiment with different mediums and techniques. By externalising internal experiences, creative expression can lead to greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and overall mental and emotional health.

Art Therapy: Use drawing, painting, or sculpting to express and process emotions.

Music Therapy: Play an instrument, sing, or listen to music to elevate your mood and reduce stress.

Mindful Eating
Mindful eating helps by encouraging a more attentive and conscious approach to food consumption, which can lead to numerous physical and psychological benefits. By focusing on the sensory experience of eating—such as the taste, texture, and aroma of food—individuals become more aware of their hunger and satiety signals, helping to prevent overeating. This practice can improve digestion, as eating slowly allows for better breakdown and absorption of nutrients. Mindful eating also fosters a healthier relationship with food, reducing stress and emotional eating by promoting a deeper appreciation and enjoyment of meals. Additionally, it can lead to healthier food choices, as being present during eating often makes people more attuned to the nutritional value and impact of their food on overall well-being.
​
-
Conscious Eating: Eat slowly and savour each bite, paying attention to the flavours and textures.
​
-
Healthy Diet: Incorporate nutritious foods into your diet to support overall health and well-being.
Nature Connection
Nature connection and grounding help by fostering a deep sense of well-being and balance through direct interaction with the natural world. Grounding, or earthing, involves physically connecting with the Earth’s surface, such as walking barefoot on grass, soil, or sand. This practice can reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and enhance mood by allowing the body to absorb the Earth’s natural electrons, which may help neutralise harmful free radicals.
​
Spending time in nature also reduces stress and anxiety, as the serene and natural environment promotes relaxation and mental clarity. Nature connection can boost immune function, increase energy levels, and improve overall physical health. Furthermore, being in nature encourages mindfulness and presence, helping individuals to disconnect from the stressors of modern life and reconnect with their inner selves. This holistic approach to well-being supports emotional and psychological health, fostering a greater sense of peace, grounding, and harmony.
​
-
Grounding: Spend time barefoot on natural surfaces like grass, soil, or sand to reconnect with the Earth’s energy.
​
-

Plant Medicine
I would be a hypocrite to not include plant medicine on this list, despite the controversy surrounding legality in certain countries. Plant medicine has profoundly impacted my life and the lives of many others. These natural remedies have played a significant role in facilitating deep healing, personal growth, and spiritual awakening.
​
Psilocybin and ayahuasca are two examples, they can help people by facilitating profound psychological and spiritual experiences, often leading to significant personal transformation and healing.
Psilocybin has shown promise in treating depression, anxiety, and PTSD by promoting new neural connections and altering perception. Users often report experiencing deep emotional release and catharsis, allowing them to confront and resolve repressed feelings and traumas. Psilocybin can also enhance brain plasticity, making it easier for individuals to break free from negative thought patterns and adopt healthier behaviors. Additionally, many people report profound spiritual experiences, gaining insights into their life's purpose and a sense of interconnectedness with all living beings.
Ayahuasca, a brew made from Amazonian plants, is known for its powerful ability to help users process and heal deep-seated trauma, bringing repressed memories to the surface for emotional release and integration. Ayahuasca ceremonies often provide participants with new perspectives on their lives and relationships, leading to greater self-awareness and psychological clarity. The physical purging (vomiting or diarrhea) experienced during an ayahuasca ceremony is believed to cleanse the body of toxins and negative energy, contributing to a sense of physical and emotional purification. Many users describe encountering spiritual entities or gaining profound spiritual insights during their ayahuasca experiences, leading to a deep sense of connection to the universe and a greater understanding of one's place within it. Both substances are used in controlled, often ceremonial settings, guided by experienced practitioners who help ensure a safe and supportive environment. While these substances hold great potential for healing and growth, they should be approached with respect and caution, given their powerful effects and the need for proper guidance.
