Throughout the ages, there has been a common human notion that guidance is available to us when we appeal to it and are receptive to it. Our Inner Healer represents a source of Divine guidance that helps us to nurture and nourish both our body, with its physical needs, and our soul, with its spiritual needs.

Listening to our body helps us to know what we need. Our body reminds us that we need time for rest, exercise and nourishment. Our body teaches us that we have limits. Listening to our soul helps us to know how we are needed. Our soul reminds us that we need to release and let go, reminding us that life is most meaningful when we give back to others the love, kindness, grace and healing we have been so fortunate to receive. Our soul teaches us that love is limitless.

Contacting our inner healer places us in touch with a source of wisdom and clarity that can guide us in finding answers to the difficult health problems or emotional traumas we may be facing.

In this visualization, I will guide you in letting go of your critical, strategic mind in order to access the quiet, peaceful place of wisdom within you. Putting aside all expectations, worries and fears, we are better able to access that source of inner wisdom and guidance that is available to each and every one of us in the form of our Inner Healer.

After listening to the visualization exercise and making contact with your Inner Healer, I encourage you to formulate your own action plan for health by following the guideline below.

Inner Healer : Action Plan For Health

Write down three action steps you can take to improve your health.

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

For each step, consider the four following questions.

1.) What pleasure will you receive in your life when you follow through with this step? (i.e. What will you gain or how will you benefit?)

2.) What would be pleasurable about not following through? (i.e. In what ways is it easier and more fun to stay the same, and not change?)

3.) What pain will you receive in your life when you follow through with this step? (i.e. What will you have to give up when you make the necessary changes?)

4.) What would be painful about not following through? (i.e. What will be painful about staying the same? What are the consequences of not changing? What will you ultimately lose if you don't change?)

For the best results, begin by listening to Side A of this tape which includes a basic introduction to the concept of the Inner Healer, as well as some closing comments. Then, listen to Side B, which contains only the guided imagery exercise. Side A of this tape has been produced directly from a live seminar of mine entitled: Accessing Your Healing System. Please excuse any coughs, hums, or live noises. For best results, listen to Side B at least once a week or as often as once to twice a day. The more you listen, the more you will strengthen your relationship with your own Inner Healer, allowing you to derive deeper and deeper levels of healing. Wishing you the best of health,
