The Woo-Woo Guide to Paying For Healthcare

Our premiums are going up. Start these metaphysical strategies now.

You don’t have to be psychic to see that the cost of healthcare is going to be the next great crisis. If you haven’t seen your health insurance premiums skyrocket, chances are someone in your immediate circle has.

Yes our politicians are saying they are going to fight for our access to affordable healthcare, but rather than placing all our hope on their efforts (I personally have no more hope to give), it’s time to start taking action ourselves.

There are obviously things you can do in the physical world i.e. save more money, compare health insurance policies, pray. And by all means do them. You’ll find a lot of blogs and substacks that will tell you how to do that. But I want to focus on the metaphysical things we can do.

I think we can all agree that the things we’ve been doing aren’t working anymore in this new world we’re living in. While you use your traditional tactics try a couple of metaphysical techniques to boost your money, your health, and ultimately your luck as we enter this next big fight. Start now because it sometimes takes time to see results from your actions.

First, let’s shore up our money.

There are a number of metaphysical techniques you can try. Feng shui can be really effective when it comes to creating abundance. Identify the wealth corner of your home (the far left corner if you’re entering your front door) and focus your energy there. The color purple represents wealth in feng shui so consider placing a purple flower (it can be fake) or pillow in that corner to spruce up the room. You can also use symbolism here. I’ve been known to tape a fake $100 bill under a table in my wealth corner. Anything that represents wealth to you can be situated in this area to represent your intention to bring in wealth.

This extra money can be applied to your higher health insurance premiums.

If you work with crystals, consider getting a piece of citrine or green aventurine. There are a number of things you can do with it:

• Start carrying it around.

• Get a bracelet made with the crystal and wear it.

• Sit it in your wealth corner.

• Meditate with it visualizing yourself smiling with your doctor after a successful visit.

Again, look for signs of prosperity. It may even come in the form of a brilliant idea that will bring money your way. Follow through on intuitive hunches that come once you institute these strategies.

The extra money you make can be applied to your healthcare costs.

Let’s also fortify our health

So there are a couple of reasons why you want to do this. If your health insurance charges you a lot for copays and other out-of-pocket costs, staying healthy can help you stay wealthy. Personally, I’m also concerned about the lack of support in the U.S. for science and medicine and the poor leadership in the Department of Health and Human Services. Having experienced a life-threatening illness, I’m grateful that I’m not going through that in today’s environment and I feel for those who are.

All I know is this is the time to really focus on things you can control. I’m talking diet — eat your veggies, take your vitamins, if you have farmer’s markets or health-focused eateries support them. Make and keep those appointments for preventive care. Get all of your cancer screenings. Traditional healthcare strategies are more important than ever.

Now, also add a few metaphysical steps.

De-clutter and clean your house. Seriously. Clutter blocks energy and energetic blocks can contribute to physical illness.

Practice saying ‘no.’ Seriously. Giving and doing too much for others drains our energy, making it more difficult for us to ward off disease.

Balance your energy with crystals. Some crystals that are believed to help with healing include amethyst, clear quartz and selenite. Having these crystals in strategic areas of your home (think, areas that you spend the most time) can help keep the energy stable. If you have a local metaphysical shop go in person and ask the people who work there to recommend a crystal that can help you. OR see what crystal catches your eye and jumps out at you. When that happens, that’s the crystal you’re supposed to work with.

Practice massages, Reiki and other forms of self-care. Stress relief is critical. You’re probably more stressed because of the craziness that’s going on in our world right now. Stress that builds up in our bodies can make us sick or exacerbate conditions we already have. I personally don’t consider a massage to be a luxury. I consider it a necessity because whenever I get one, I can literally feel the stress leaving my body. Also, find a Reiki practitioner or other holistic health practitioner who can help you push negative energy out and bring positive energy in.

We’ve all been feeling helpless and like the world is out of our control. It’s time for us to take control back, the metaphysical way.
