Self-healing is the process of revealing and removing wrong thinking about yourself. The nature of the Self is Satchidananda—absolute truth, consciousness and bliss.

The process involves the calming of the mind to be able to feel the Self. The mind, in its turbulent state, cannot reflect the true Self.
