The actual psychological personality of a person is referred
to as the ‘self’ of a person. Each one of us has a hidden self within us, but
we are not aware of it. A human being thinks that it is his consciousness that
leads to his actions. Actually, our inner self guides our behaviour in our
day-to-day life. This self is constructed and undergoes a transformation with the
passage of time as we experience new things. Ego also forms a part of our inner
self. It makes us fight for our own identity in the world. It stresses on an
individual existence of a human being separated from others. This will make an
individual proud and selfish. He will neglect certain facts, which will be an
obstacle in his self-awareness and thereby degrading his self-development. Thus,
for the development of the inner-self, the foremost step is self-introspection.
This means that an individual should look within himself and analyse his own
personality. This way he will be able to make out his own strengths and
weaknesses. After this, it will be easy for him to take on to the methods that
add on to his strengths and subtract his weaknesses. A person will then become
more attracted to the positive ways of life. This can be selfless service
towards humanity and moving away from the negative thoughts of life such as
jealousy and frustration. This will lead to the healing of the inner-self.
Another way of self-healing is to take on an optimistic
attitude towards life. Many of us are prone to pessimistic thinking, which is
the reason why they fail to realize the possibility of a solution to the
problem. Taking on a positive and constructive attitude will give an individual
the strength to face the problems of life and seek a solution to the same.
Self-healing adds on to the energy level of an individual
and also aids in curing disorders like insomnia, aches, depression, and various
physical and mental ailments. Meditation and yoga are some of the other ways
that help a person in the realization of a higher self.
Meditation is a method of healing that helps to think above
his own individuality and think for the development of humanity as a whole. It
is a three-way process that works through self-regulation, self-exploration and
self-liberation. It helps us to keep a check on our animal desires and improves
our concentration. This brings out our potential by way of several exercises
and strengthens our character. It leads us to a spiritual realization and
bridges the gap between our real and true self. Moreover, by making us realize our
mistakes and weaknesses it brings about a transformation in our personality.
Last but not the least, it reveals to us the truth of life and death and
contributes to one’s process of self-healing. Yoga, on the other hand, helps in
achieving the tranquillity of mind. It provides relaxation and reduces stress
that helps in self-healing.
Self-love is a method of transformation of our inner self.
Every person has the desire that the thing or the person he loves should always
be perfect. Therefore, if a person will love himself then, no doubt, he will
make all the efforts to transform and develop himself and be a better person.
