Healing Ourselves
Lesson 1 Connecting with our Inner Healer
Chapter 1: Creating a Healing Space

This first unit looks at how we can re-organize our lives to create the time and space to do this process.
This exercise is designed to help you assess what activities in your life contribute to your life path and higher good and which you are doing out of a sense of obligation and feelings of no choice.

Creating a Healing Time and Space

Think of the activities that fill up your day and the commitments that you have at the moment in the following areas:

• work
• things you do for your family members,partner , children, parents
• Commitments to friends and aquaintances
• study courses
• commitments to organisations e.g. church, clubs
• time spent in recreational activities, hobbies, sport, watching TV,
• time spent on the phone
  
  

  List below up to six areas that claim most of your time. and the estimate on how much time you spend doing them each week

  After writing down the six areas that claim most of your time close your eyes and focusing on each in turn intuitively sense how you feel in your body about it. Assign a number to it between 1 - 5 based on the scale below :

  1. Really dislike doing it and wish you did not have to do it.
  2. Creates feelings of stress when you do it.
  3. Feel neutral towards this activity. Can do it without stress.
  4. Like doing this.
  5. Enjoy doing this the most.

  When you have done this look at those activities that scored 2 or below and think if there is any way that you could reduce your time and commitment in these areas. Ask yourself what action would you could take to achieve this. Could you :

  • Tell the people concerned that you do not have the time to continue doing this
  • tell them that you need help from them in order to continue doing it
  • reorganise your time so that you spend less time doing it
  • do it at a different time so that it is less time-comsuming and it fits in better with your other commitments.

    Summary : List below the activities that scored two or less, then beside them note how you could reduce the time you have to spend doing them.

  Print out a feww copies of this webpage and use them to do this exercise for 15 - 20 minutes once a week for a few weeks and continue doing this until you have made sufficient changes to give yourself the time to connect with your Inner Healer. Each time you do it compare the answers with the previous sheet noting what you have been able to change and what is still a stress.
