1. Sound Healing

The way our bodies respond to sounds that startle us and set off our fight-or-flight reaction can help us understand how sounds affect the neurological system. Using healing sounds to balance out the inevitable pressures in our daily lives can have a profound impact on your nervous system.

Chanting mantras can be an active kind of sound therapy (more on that later!). or as passive as lying in bed with headphones on and listening to healing frequencies on YouTube. To get the most out of the experience, think about attending a sound bath in your neighborhood, where all you have to do is unwind and enjoy whatever benefits the sound medicine has to offer!

2. Forest Bathing

Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, is a straightforward (and cost-free!) spiritual practice that has its roots in Japan and has a profound impact on your body, mind, and spirit.

Taking a forest bathe is an excellent way to practice mindfulness in the present moment and strengthen your bond with Mother Earth.

Locate a peaceful area in the outdoors where you can stroll around unassisted (you can use a park or your backyard, whatever works!). Turn off or leave your phone in your car so you can detach and enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of your surroundings.

Let your senses lead the way and heed your instincts. Let your inner child play and explore by allowing yourself to really touch and feel the textures of the surrounding ground and tree trunks! You can even get grounding effects by walking barefoot. Take as much time as you need to forest bathe.

3. Crystal Healing

Crystals are a form of vibrational healing, much like light, sound, and aromatherapy. This implies that their potent primary resonance frequency, or vibration, is the reason behind their effectiveness. Every object in your environment vibrates, and crystals have very strong and consistent vibrations because of their flawless molecular structure.

Because we are not as flawless as crystals are at the molecular level, greater vibrations can more easily control our vibration. The frequencies of the crystals we hold or surround ourselves with can raise our own body’s through the law of entrainment.

4. Construct an altar or sacred area

There is nothing like a sacred area in your house to bring magical intentions into your life. This is a great way to use sentimental objects you may have lying around the house in a creative way, and it may also act as a marker for your spiritual development.

You don’t need a lot of space or an expensive setup to create a sacred area or shrine. To accomplish the task, a square foot of space on a table is sufficient; however, if available, you can occupy an entire room! An altar is the home for sacred things you’ve collected from feathers to candles to crystals and should be in a place that won’t easily be disturbed by pets or kids.

Make advantage of your sacred area for your prayers, meditations, building crystal grids, and pulling oracle decks—the possibilities are unlimited! Use your creativity to arrange your environment in a way that inspires you and motivates you to spend time there on a daily basis.
