5 Ways to Heal Your Body and Mind

There is no question that we live in a stressful world. Our minds and bodies are constantly under “attack”, from the noise of the city to the demands of work, to the overdemanding lifestyles we live. It’s no wonder that so many people are looking for ways to heal their body and mind. Holistic healing practices can be a great way to achieve this. In this blog post, we will discuss 5 different ways to heal your body and mind using holistic healing practices.

MINDFULNESS TO HEAL YOUR BODY

Mindfulness is a great way to start healing your body and mind. It involves paying attention to the present moment, without judgement. This can be done through meditation, yoga or simply by taking some time out for yourself each day in nature. Mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress, improve sleep and boost immunity.

Here at The Sentinel we offer programs and retreats geared towards mindfulness and relaxation. Be sure to explore our upcoming retreats here.

ACUPUNCTURE FOR MIND & BODY

Acupuncture is another popular holistic healing practice. It involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. This is said to help with a range of conditions, from pain relief to anxiety and depression. If you’re looking for an acupuncture practitioner, The Sentinels own Leni can help you in your journey. Call us to book an appointment with her.

HEALING ENERGY, HEALING BODY & MIND

Another healing practice that is gaining popularity is energy healing. This involves using your own energy to heal yourself or others. It can be done through touch, sound or simply by intention. Energy healing has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including pain, stress and anxiety.

If you’re interested in exploring energy healing, The Sentinel offers a variety of courses and workshops. Check out our upcoming events here or call us to discuss options that are best for you.

USE PLANT-BASED MEDICINES TO HEAL

Plant-based medicine journey’s are becoming more and more popular and are also at the forefront of mental health medicine. From Amazonian to LSD, there are options and differences for each person. The benefits of these healing practices have been shown to be vast, from reducing stress and anxiety to improving mental clarity and focus.

Here at The Sentinel we open our doors and space to those in search of understanding plant-based medicines – through retreats or in private ceremonies. Enroll in an upcoming retreat here.

SELF-CARE HEALING

Finally, one of the most important ways to heal your body and mind is through self-care. This includes taking care of your physical health, getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet and spending time with loved ones. But only you can decide what your self-care looks like, so choose what allows you to feel rejuvenated, loved and healthy.
