Divna ideja :)
Healing boxes are as personal and unique as every person, because you fill them with what is most meaningful and healing to you. They can help soothe, nurture, calm, regulate, encourage and even empower.
I have found it's helpful to try to have something to engage all the senses, but again what is most helpful is to choose what feels right for you, because this is for you. ❤
My box was a gift from my daughter when she was little. In it I have a small heart shaped rock from the river, a prayer, a piece of bark from a mountain adventure w/ my youngest son, a letter I wrote to myself, a cross pendant, essential oil, healing memes, the first flower my son gave me, a small mirror with healing words written on it, a piece of dark chocolate, photos, a treasure from my husband, sticky notes and a pen. I can go through that box in under a minute and see, hear, taste, touch, smell and feel. It instantly grounds me. Sometimes after I go through it I’ll write myself a little sticky note and put it somewhere close, or in my pocket to read, reflect on and bring me comfort or strength.
A healing box can be for us emotionally, what a first aid kit provides for us physically. A healing resource to have ready when we need it. It's a powerful way to practice emotional self-care.
With compassion & love, Debra
