YOU ARE NOT BROKEN: MY THOUGHTS ON SELF-IMPROVEMENT AND HEALING

I am finding more and more people to be constantly telling us to do more, be more, be better, do better, channel, improve, heal, fix, relax and overcome.
And it can be so easy to forget the most healing truth of all: You are not broken. You don’t need fixing.
As a Tibetan Reiki Master and Psychic Medium and I have guided many beautiful souls through their journeys and time and again, I see people burdened by a belief that something is wrong with them. That they are "behind", "stuck" or not enough for themselves, their partner or even society.
But what if growth didn’t require fixing anything?
What if healing wasn’t about changing yourself, but simply returning to yourself?
The Trap of Constant Self-Improvement
Self-improvement is a noble intention. But for many, it can become a trap, an endless loop of seeking, chasing, and striving for something they believe they lack.
From an energetic and spiritual perspective, this striving is often driven by the ego-mind, the part of us that fears not being good enough, that constantly compares and competes.
But your spirit-mind - this is your higher self - sees things differently. It already knows you are whole, complete, and full of light.
True transformation doesn’t happen when you judge yourself into needing to change.
It happens when you love yourself into alignment.
Spirit-Led Healing is Flowing, Not Forcing
In my Reiki sessions, energy moves most freely when we let go of the pressure to "heal fast" or "fix now". Instead, healing happens when we tune in, become present, and allow our bodies and spirits to speak.
Self-love is the most powerful healing force in the universe.
You don’t need to hustle to be worthy of peace.
You don’t need to earn your own light.
And you certainly don't need to consume a mystic elixir or attend an expensive weekend retreat to connect with who you truly are.
You already are it.
Have a Go - Try This Gentle Energy Exercise
If you are feeling down, stuck, unworthy, or overwhelmed by spiritual "healing goals", try this really simple spiritual shift:
Find a quiet space where you feel safe and comfortable.
Close your eyes and take three slow, deep breaths into your heart.
Whisper to yourself: “I am already enough. I allow myself to be still”.
Feel where in your body you have been holding effort or striving or feeling stuck.
Imagine gently releasing that pressure with each exhale of breath. Now let go. Let your energy lead.
Even just a few minutes of presence can reset your frequency and reconnect you to your truth.
You Don't Have to Earn Healing
Let go of the myth that you must earn healing, be worthy of it, or prove you are ready for joy, happiness and bliss.
The universe doesn’t require perfection because it responds to intention, vibration, and trust. When you love yourself as you are, healing flows naturally.
