Self-Healing Rituals?

[Naillosotarrain]

Does anyone have any tips on performing self-healing rituals?

I did a simple one last night. My back had been bothering me most of the day. It was aching, and I was getting very uncomfortable. I was laying down. I went into a slight meditative state. Then I rubbed my hands together vigorously and felt the tingling energy. I formed it into a ball and visualized it as warm, healing energy. When it felt like the time was right, I placed my hands against my chest and let it enter into my body. It was incredibly warm and soothing. It spread throughout my body but concentrated in my back where I was feeling the pain. Within a few seconds the pain was gone. I'm sure you could modify this to your circumstances. Of course you should make it personal and meaningful to you.

Blessed Be,
Eeluna

Try doing a chakra meditation. Here's what I do:

I sit in a comfortable position (legs crossed, but I am pretty limber), and start by grounding. Then, I visualize a deep red flower slowly unfolding at my base (sexual) chakra. When that flower is open, I move up to the belly chakra, which I visualize as an orange flower opening. Then on to the solar plexus (yellow), heart (green), throat (blue), third eye (purple/indigo), and crown (white). When I am done, all the flowers are open, and I feel energy running all the way up my spine. I sometimes discover that one of them is a bit muddy in color, and that typically means a blockage, and therefore potential illness, in that area.

Once *all* the chakra flowers are open, I visualize the one that most closely corresponds to my illness getting brighter and brighter, filling with white light. I imagine that this white light is burning away the illness. When it has burned enough (and this is up to your judgement, though I usually find that the area on my body begins to get warm), I allow the white light to recede, leaving the flower brightly colored and pulsing.

For example, if I am starting to come down with a sore throat or am beginning to lose my voice, I will do this focused on the throat chakra.

When I am done, I visualize each of the flowers closing in turn, starting with the crown chakra and moving down to the root chakra, and I ground out any remaining excess energy that may still be hanging around from the healing magic.

I have something to eat or drink (I'm fond of warm cookies and cold milk) to feed the magic machine that is my body, and wait. Sometimes I'll do this a couple of days in a row. Sometimes I will do a "preventative maintenance" version of the above if I think I am being exposed to crud more than is usual (such as during flu season, when all of my students get sick, cough all over their papers, and sneeze on me when they hand them in).

Hope that helps.
