I thought my body was invincible, and I treated it quite poorly. I stayed up late, I ate out a lot, I partied, and didn’t have a care in the world.</p>\n<p>In my early twenties this all began to shift for me. I began experiencing all types of symptoms. My body was doing things I was embarrassed to share with anyone.</p>\n<p>I started having eight to ten bowel movements per day, I was afraid to eat anything, and I lost twenty pounds in the span of two weeks. I was confused and scared as to what was happening to my body.</p>\n<p>After missing countless days at work and taking countless trips to the doctor’s office, I was eventually given a diagnosis.</p>\n<p>In February of 2012, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, which is an autoimmune disease with no official cure. It causes inflammation and issues with digestion. It can affect the physical body anywhere from the esophagus down to the colon.</p>\n<p>As if being told you have a disease with no real cure wasn’t enough, my doctor found precancerous cells in my colon. This meant I was at high risk of having to get my colon removed. I was in my early twenties at the time, and my doctor mentioned he had never seen a case so severe in someone my age.</p>\n<p>I faced a lot of resistance with this at first. I was caught up in my old ways of life, not really having to care about my body. I continued to punish my body through my old habits of drinking, smoking, and eating an unhealthy diet.</p>\n<p>I’m sure you can imagine that this got me nowhere. Things weren’t getting better, and I finally realized that no one was coming to save me. It was up to me to turn this situation around.</p>\n<p>This is when I started what I like to call “my path of un-doing.â€ I began to step into unknown territory—health, wellness, and taking care of myself.</p>\n<p>Step by step, I started adopting healthier habits. It started with physical activity, which naturally led me to eating a healthier diet. I started to see improvements with my symptoms and knew I could discover how to heal even further.</p>\n<p>I started to explore my mental health. I had been through a stressful situation prior to my diagnosis and was dealing with energetic blocks because of this. I was able to work through these blocks with modalities such as yoga, meditation, journaling, and reiki.</p>\n<p>It didn’t happen overnight, but eventually my symptoms decreased from all of the work I was doing. Fast forward to today, and I’ve now been in remission of Crohn’s disease for the last six years. I was very lucky that I never had to get my colon removed, and I’m thankful for that every day.</p>\n<p>If you are dealing with a serious illness and are having a hard time right now, here are three takeaways I learned from my own experience with illness that will help you move forward on your healing journey.</p>\n<h4><strong>1. Focus on a holistic approach.</strong></h4>\n<p>When I first started my journey, I only focused on the physical side of things, nutrition and movement. This helped to some extent, but there was still something missing.</p>\n<p>I needed to work through energy blocks I was experiencing from my past. I needed to find healthy ways to cope with stress. I needed to find ways to work through challenging emotions that came up along my healing journey.</p>\n<p>This situation taught me that we are more than just our physical selves. We are multidimensional beings, and because of this need to focus on the mental, emotional, and spiritual sides of ourselves as well.</p>\n<p>Meditate and journal daily to tune in with your emotions and clear out blocks. Get clear on your why so that when motivation trickles down on challenging days, you have a strong drive to keep moving forward. Spend more time in nature to help regulate your nervous system.</p>\n<p>When you focus on nurturing all aspects of the human being you are, you take your healing journey to a whole new level.</p>\n<h4><strong>2. Be patient with yourself.</strong></h4>\n<p>Your symptoms didn’t show up overnight, so you can’t expect them to go away that quickly either.</p>\n<p>Healing takes time, dedication, and consistency. There were many times along my journey where I felt like giving up, or that my efforts weren’t paying off. I kept going anyway.</p>\n<p>Some days you will feel like you’ve made major progress, and some days you will feel like you took five steps back. This is a normal part of the process. When you feel like you aren’t getting anywhere, take a break and reconnect with your why to help you regain momentum.</p>\n<h4><strong>3. Celebrate the small wins</strong>.</h4>\n<p>It’s easy to get swept up in the “all-or-nothingâ€ approach when you’re first starting your healing journey. The problem with this approach is that it isn’t easy to sustain it <em>long-term.</em></p>\n<p>The key to long-lasting results along your journey is taking small actions every single day. It’s the small changes you make every day that eventually lead to change and transformation.</p>\n<p>Find something to celebrate every single day, no matter how big or small. This is going to help you stay positive about your journey and will help you build a new lifestyle for yourself that is actually sustainable.</p>\n<p>Dealing with a life-changing illness is overwhelming and it can feel like no one understands what you’re going through. Trust that you are not alone on your journey and that you can make your way out of this. Your body was designed to heal, it just needs the proper environment to do so!</p>\n \n<div><p><img alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"100\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9b2ae80850af8ff4e629a39850d3db07?s=100&amp;d=https%3A%2F%2Ftinybuddha.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F09%2Ftb-avatar.png&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9b2ae80850af8ff4e629a39850d3db07?s=200&amp;d=https%3A%2F%2Ftinybuddha.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F09%2Ftb-avatar.png&amp;r=g 2x\" width=\"100\"></img></p><div><h3>About <a href=\"https://tinybuddha.com/author/jennifer-tabrizi/\" title=\"Jennifer Tabrizi\">Jennifer Tabrizi</a></h3><p>Jennifer Tabrizi is a holistic health coach who is on a mission to empower high-achieving women to take control of their health, boost their vitality, and excel in their professional lives.

This keeps you centered and grounded as you meditate.</li><li>Then imagine breathing light up your core on the inhalation and back down again on the exhalation. This strengthens that center line, which in yoga is called the <em>sushumna</em>.</li><li>Then imagine opening your crown chakra like the thousand-petaled lotus flower that is its symbol. Drink in the energy of grace, consciousness, or guidance the way a flower drinks in sunlight, drinking it in and pulling it down through the crown into the body. Pull it down the stem of the core all the way to the roots. Realize there is an infinite supply of light, so keep on drinking it in, as you allow your mind to empty and your body to fill with light. Continue imagining light pouring into your crown until your mind is quiet and your whole body feels filled with radiant white light. Bask in the glory of that light and stillness as long as you are able.</li><li>When you are ready to exit the meditation, take your time. Don\'t immediately disconnect from this radiant inner state, but practice a dual focus, one eye looking within, the other without, so you maintain your radiant state as you return to the world and normal activities.</li></ol></div></span><span><p><h3 id=\"mbg-Vf5XAWLYJ2\">Pranayama for the crown chakra</h3></p></span><span><div end=\"false\"><p><a data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-link=\"https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/pranayama\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" href=\"https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/pranayama\" target=\"_blank\">Pranayama</a>, or breath control, is a way of breathing in a specific pattern for a specific purpose, and some of them are more suited to particular chakras than others.</p><p>One pranayama, called Nadī shodhana (or <a data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-link=\"https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/alternate-nostril-breathing\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" href=\"https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/alternate-nostril-breathing\" target=\"_blank\">alternate-nostril breathing</a>) has been backed <a data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-link=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25558130/\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25558130/\" target=\"_blank\">by research</a> to help people get into a more relaxed state.

While not all of us will fully open it in our lifetimes, many of us will catch glimpses of the bliss that comes with an open crown chakra.

This keeps you centered and grounded as you meditate.</li><li>Then imagine breathing light up your core on the inhalation and back down again on the exhalation. This strengthens that center line, which in yoga is called the <em>sushumna</em>.</li><li>Then imagine opening your crown chakra like the thousand-petaled lotus flower that is its symbol. Drink in the energy of grace, consciousness, or guidance the way a flower drinks in sunlight, drinking it in and pulling it down through the crown into the body. Pull it down the stem of the core all the way to the roots. Realize there is an infinite supply of light, so keep on drinking it in, as you allow your mind to empty and your body to fill with light. Continue imagining light pouring into your crown until your mind is quiet and your whole body feels filled with radiant white light. Bask in the glory of that light and stillness as long as you are able.</li><li>When you are ready to exit the meditation, take your time. Don\'t immediately disconnect from this radiant inner state, but practice a dual focus, one eye looking within, the other without, so you maintain your radiant state as you return to the world and normal activities.</li></ol></div></span><span><p><h3 id=\"mbg-Vf5XAWLYJ2\">Pranayama for the crown chakra</h3></p></span><span><div end=\"false\"><p><a data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-link=\"https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/pranayama\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" href=\"https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/pranayama\" target=\"_blank\">Pranayama</a>, or breath control, is a way of breathing in a specific pattern for a specific purpose, and some of them are more suited to particular chakras than others.</p><p>One pranayama, called Nadī shodhana (or <a data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-link=\"https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/alternate-nostril-breathing\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" href=\"https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/alternate-nostril-breathing\" target=\"_blank\">alternate-nostril breathing</a>) has been backed <a data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-link=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25558130/\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25558130/\" target=\"_blank\">by research</a> to help people get into a more relaxed state.

It’s guaranteed to ease the mind and recharge the spirit.</p>\n<p>If you’re interested in wellness activities, the spa offers an intriguing array of relaxation and meditation exercises like yoga, Reiki and Pilates. A personal favorite is the Sound Healing Therapy where you lie down, close your eyes and allow the soothing sounds envelop you and lead you into an incredibly profound state of relaxation and mindfulness.</p><figure role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion current=\"-1\"><p>The aesthetic of the Four Seasons Nevis property is a harmonious blend of colonial charm and <span data-ga-track=\"caption expand\">...

When it comes to starting a new business venture, executing a launch or committing to a new project, our brains are likely the first to offer a list of reasons why it won’t work out or why we should stay where we are instead.</p>\n\n<p>Self-coaching is a valuable tool I use and teach all my business coaching clients to familiarize themselves with while building their business. Self-coaching is the ability to coach yourself into believing a new thought, or further solidifying an existing thought, to become the version of yourself you desire to be.</p>\n\n\n<p>As Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis, co-founders of a career improvement company, <a aria-label=\"wrote\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https://hbr.org/2022/01/how-to-become-your-own-career-coach\" href=\"https://hbr.org/2022/01/how-to-become-your-own-career-coach\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https://hbr.org/2022/01/how-to-become-your-own-career-coach\">wrote</a> for <em>Harvard Business Review</em>, “Self-coaching is the skill of asking questions to improve self-awareness and prompt positive action. ... Everyone can learn to coach themselves, regardless of experience or expertise.â€</p>\n<fbs-ad ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" role=\"presentation\"></fbs-ad>\n<p>As a global business coach and CEO of a nearly seven-figure company, I wouldn’t have the business I have today without self-coaching and rewriting beliefs about money, marketing, sales, imposter syndrome and much more.</p>\n\n<p>Self-coaching reveals your own thoughts and subconscious beliefs to you, especially when you aren’t seeing the results you desire. It is a way to take a magnifying glass into our deepest beliefs, uncovering ones we may not have even known we have.</p>\n\n<p>Our results stem from our actions, and our actions are created by our beliefs, which is why self-coaching is so powerful: It reveals what’s happening at the root source.</p>\n<p>Here is how to effectively self-coach yourself in four simple steps:</p>\n\n\n<h2>1. Create a new, intentional thought or repeat a belief you’ve been working on believing.</h2>\n<p>Here are some examples:</p>\n<p>• My launch will hit my revenue goal of $50,000.</p>\n<p>• My next client is ready to hire me <em>today</em>.</p>\n<p>• My service is in demand.</p>\n<p>• I am a powerful leader.</p>\n<p>• I effortlessly attract financial abundance in my business.</p>\n<p><strong>Here’s a tip:</strong> It helps to focus on one thought at a time to keep the process as clear as possible.</p>\n<h2>2. Ask yourself: On a scale of 1 to 10, how deeply do you believe this thought to be true right now?</h2>\n<p>A score of 1 is “I don’t feel this at <em>all</em>!â€ and a score of 10 is “I feel it in my <em>bones</em>!â€</p>\n<h3>If it’s not a 10/10, ask yourself why not.</h3>\n<p>Write your reasons down on paper or speak them out loud; trace the \"why not\" back to the root and be honest with yourself.</p>\n<p>This specific step may bring up some hidden, subconscious beliefs that stop you from fully being in belief, such as “I don’t think this is possible for meâ€ or “I am not worthy of this.â€</p>\n<h3>Rewrite each thought that comes up.</h3>\n<p>If your micro-thought is, “I don\'t think this is possible for me,â€ ask yourself if this is actually true, factual and backed by sources. Is this true 100% of the time, without a shadow of a doubt? Is there evidence that it is <em>not</em> true?</p>\n<p>Decide what you want to tell yourself and feel instead. Create as many new, intentional micro-thoughts as you’d like to help you believe the thought in step one.</p>\n<h2>3. Decide how this thought makes you feel.</h2>\n<p>The way your body’s sensations respond to your thoughts is extremely powerful and brings them to life. It isn’t enough to just repeat a new sentence over and over in your head; you have to feel the sensations of it within your body as well to truly solidify it.</p>\n<p>Some examples of feelings might be grounded, empowered or confident. For example, if the feeling is confidence, ask yourself, “What sensations do I feel in my body when I am at my most confident?â€ or “What tells my body that I am having the experience of confidence?â€</p>\n<p>Spend two to three minutes with your eyes closed, deeply feeling this sensation and emotion. If it helps, envision the emotion traveling through your body, exploding like fireworks and spreading from your fingertips to your toes, until you are buzzing with this desired emotion.</p>\n<p>If you need help pinpointing an emotion, utilize <a aria-label=\"the Feelings Wheel\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/036215378201200411\" href=\"https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/036215378201200411\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/036215378201200411\">the Feelings Wheel</a> by Dr. Gloria Willcox.</p>\n<h2>4. Uncover who you will be moving forward.</h2>\n<p>Connect with your spirit, the version of yourself underneath your roles, achievements or labels. Who is the version of you that believes these empowered thoughts and feelings? Who are you being?</p>\n<p>Ask yourself these questions as that uplifted version of yourself:</p>\n<p>• If I was feeling fully <em>confident</em>, what would be my next step?</p>\n<p>• What would close the gap between me now versus the version of me who’s at a 10/10 with this thought?</p>\n<p>• Where’s the closest evidence that this is not that far away from me?</p>\n<p>This is the aligned action that takes place once you have created new, intentional beliefs.</p>\n<p>Self-coaching is about connecting with who you desire to be and where you are now and closing the gap in between. You have the power to shift your reality by changing your beliefs and actions. This is an incredibly powerful practice for anybody looking to take their self-concept next level.</p><hr></hr>\n<p><a aria-label=\"Forbes Coaches Council\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https://councils.forbes.com/forbescoachescouncil?utm_source=forbes.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=forbes-links&amp;utm_content=in-article-ad-links\" href=\"https://councils.forbes.com/forbescoachescouncil?utm_source=forbes.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=forbes-links&amp;utm_content=in-article-ad-links\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https://councils.forbes.com/forbescoachescouncil?utm_source=forbes.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=forbes-links&amp;utm_content=in-article-ad-links\">Forbes Coaches Council</a> is an invitation-only community for leading business and career coaches. <a aria-label=\"Do I qualify?\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https://councils.forbes.com/qualify?utm_source=forbes.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=forbes-links&amp;utm_term=fcc&amp;utm_content=in-article-ad-links\" href=\"https://councils.forbes.com/qualify?utm_source=forbes.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=forbes-links&amp;utm_term=fcc&amp;utm_content=in-article-ad-links\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https://councils.forbes.com/qualify?utm_source=forbes.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=forbes-links&amp;utm_term=fcc&amp;utm_content=in-article-ad-links\"><em data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https://councils.forbes.com/qualify?utm_source=forbes.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=forbes-links&amp;utm_term=fcc&amp;utm_content=in-article-ad-links\">Do I qualify?</em></a></p><hr></hr>\n</div>', 'Self-coaching is about connecting with who you desire to be and where you are now and closing the gap in between.', 'https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/6544f58b48713e1a717ee292/0x0.jpg?format=jpg&height=900&width=1600&fit=bounds', '71', NULL, NULL, '', 'newsapi', NULL, NULL, '2023-11-09', '571', '0', '0', NULL, NULL, NULL),

Le festival Tribe of Nova était d’ailleurs bien plus qu’une rave-party, étiquette qui lui a souvent été accolée depuis par les médias : le Hamas a frappé un véritable avatar de la nouvelle spiritualité occidentale – même si le mouvement islamiste palestinien ne l’a pas officiellement revendiqué ainsi.</p>          <h2>Institution de la spiritualité contemporaine</h2>          <p><em>« Les personnes qui s’orientent vers la néospiritualité ne se contentent pas d’adopter simultanément une série de disciplines alternatives ou holistiques, telles que le yoga moderne et les techniques énergétiques comme le reiki ou autres, mais participent activement à des pratiques de mouvement, de danse et de musique en conscience »</em>, m’explique la chercheuse en sciences des religions Manéli Farahmand, directrice du Centre d’information sur les croyances (CIC), à Lausanne.

Y sont partagées et reproduites des valeurs <em>« présentées comme étant alternative</em>s, ajoute la socio-anthropologue <em>: la coexistence pacifique et harmonieuse interespèces, l’unité dans la différence, l’amour, la paix, la référence au cœur et non aux règles extérieures, etc. ».</em></p>           <p><strong>Il vous reste 65% de cet article à lire.
