Today, on August 22nd, we step into Virgo season, a time the cosmos gently reminds us to return to the wisdom of the body, our daily rhythms, and the healing power already within us. Virgo, the sign of healing, service, and mindful living, encourages us to slow down, create nourishing routines, and connect with the practices that bring balance to our lives. It is an energy that whispers: healing doesn't have to be complicated - it is found in the simple, intentional ways we care for ourselves every day.

Virgo is connected to the archetype of Chiron, the Wounded Healer. In astrology, Chiron represents both our deepest wounds and our greatest healing. When pared with Virgo's discerning and restorative nature, Chiron teaches us that true healing comes not from striving for perfection, but from embracing our wholeness - even in our vulnerabilities. It's about shifting from self-criticism to self-compassion and recognizing that what once hurt us can also become a doorway to profound wisdom and renewal.

Together, Virgo's earthy precision and Chiron's healing light provide the perfect backdrop to remember that every single one of us is a healer. Through our thoughts, our emotions, and even the simple act of placing our hands on our bodies, we can direct energy where it is needed most. Healing isn't something outside of us - it begins with us, and it's available in every moment we choose to connect with our inner power.

Your Thoughts Are Healing

Our bodies are always listening to the thoughts we think. Louise Hay, author of You Can Heal Your Life, taught that every physical ailment begins with an emotional or mental pattern — a belief system that has become stagnant or disharmonious. She believed that by identifying and shifting these thought patterns, we could support the body in returning to its natural state of health and balance.

For example, if we constantly think thoughts rooted in fear or resentment, that energy can become lodged in the body, eventually showing up as discomfort or illness. But the moment we begin to replace those thoughts with affirmations of love, acceptance, and vitality, healing begins.

Try this: Place your hands over your heart and repeat, “I am safe. I am whole. My body knows how to heal.” It’s simple — and yet incredibly powerful.

Emotions Are Energy in Motion

Unprocessed emotions can also get “stuck” in the body, creating energetic blockages that affect our physical health. When we allow ourselves to fully feel and release our emotions — whether through breathwork, journaling, movement, or simply giving ourselves permission to cry — we allow energy to flow again.

Healing often happens not by “fixing” something, but by letting go. The body doesn't hold on because it’s broken; it holds on because it's waiting for us to feel, to listen, and to release.

Releasing old pain, grief, anger, or shame isn’t always easy, but it is a form of healing in itself. As we create space by letting go of what no longer serves us, we invite in greater health, clarity, and peace.

Your Hands Are Healing Tools

Did you know your hands are naturally magnetic? World renowned Energy Medicine pioneer, Donna Eden, teaches us that everyone has the ability to move and shift energy — and one of the most direct ways to do that is through touch. She teaches that our hands carry life-force energy, and when we place them on our own bodies, we begin to stimulate healing, simply through intention and presence.

When you place your hands on an area of your body that needs care — your stomach, your head, your chest — energy begins to flow there. It’s not about doing something to yourself, it’s about being with yourself in a conscious, nurturing way.

Donna Eden’s work shows that energy wants to move — it wants to circulate. By rubbing your hands together, shaking them off, and then placing them gently over an area of discomfort, you can begin to feel warmth, tingling, or a sense of calm. That’s the energy responding to your touch — it’s that real, and that simple.

You Are the Healer You’ve Been Waiting For

We are not broken — we are whole beings with incredible regenerative power. Our bodies are wired for healing. When we align our thoughts, release what we’ve been carrying, and remember that our own hands are sacred healing tools, we tap into that power. 

Yes, healing can be supported by others — therapists, doctors, energy workers — but no one knows your body like you do. No one feels your spirit like you can. When we start with the belief that we can heal, we open a door. And behind that door is a lifelong relationship with your own healing wisdom.

Start today. Touch your heart. Breathe into your belly. Speak words of love and compassion to yourself. You don’t need to know how it works to trust that it does.

Healing lives in you.
