Quiet your Emotions to increase your Immunity.
Did you know there is such thing as Spiritual Immunity?
Focus on breathing & bring yourself back to your true essence of calm.
We all (should) know how our thoughts can affect things & create a cascade of activity within our body. Now is a great time to shift from negative thinking to positive thinking.
The mind-body link is so very important for our wellness but if we focus on the present drama & get hooked into it, then it will constantly be driving the mind perhaps to madness.
This kind of impact reduces our immune system – simply known as stress! Why run on the hamster wheel of negativity?
Shifting thoughts to – ‘What can I be grateful for?’ is a quick & easy exercise to shift the mind & embrace a healthy outlook. Look, see & find the smallest things in your life you can be grateful for. Acknowledge what is going right….right? Recognizing the subtle small thing, triggers our ‘YES’ response – to acknowledge the ‘things’ that are going well! So be sure to inquire honestly and drop the mask(s).
Future projecting will not help us in this time, nor is it productive to mourn the past. Be fully present to empty out, deal with & complete any unfinished business with yourself. This is a good time to clear the slate & avoid rehashing the same old patterns. Get back to zero when you can. Some of us are still working, so when you have 5-10-30 minutes do nothing but rest, on your back, or relax & sit alone. Take your time & eat consciously at every meal. Daily get up at a regular time & move your bodies, meditate, meditate, meditate, then go to sleep & keep that time regular as well. (eg; up at 6am, asleep by 10pm) Routines are good for us, we are creature of rituals, aka habits.
Realize that everything we do & every thought _is_ significant, though we may not realize it. Open up the doors of perception to greater potential & when you do ride the positive waves. Remember the saying: “What we think about most of the time comes about”. Become a Master of your inner dialogue & be part of the solution. The ancient yogic Sages taught: “What we focus on expands”. What do you want to grow?
Sadly, many people are drowning in fear & panic, at this time. However, many people were drowning in fear and panic even before this event. We need to choose not to contribute to it any longer – the choice is yours.
What humanity – our world – needs now is a Collective Consciousness to maintain greater balance, more peace, more hope, more gratitude, a greater sense of acceptance, coherence & positivity from our inner being toward the greater good. “What the world need now, is love sweet love”
Meditation is a huge tool to bring that quietness to our minds.
Stress, biologically is hard on our immune system. To put it simply, our amygdala & the brainstem produce cortisol, then the stress hormone affects our digestive system, etc. If our gut to brain communication is negatively affected then we produce less serotonin & eventually get depressed. The result is an ever lower immune system. To have a good strong immune system, we need to reduce stress. To increase our physical & spiritual immunity be careful to watch what is hooking you…..on the media roller coaster. Unplug & disengage by coming to a place to quiet your emotions & settle down your central nervous system. This too shall pass.
Thinking on a long-term basis, make the subtle changes now in your life to harness your inner power for wellbeing & turn on your spiritual immunity. Ask yourselves: “Who Am I?” , then arriving at “Know thyself” – a Greek aphorism; come to know who really you are… beyond your roles…. beyond the masks you wear in this life. Avoid trying to rehearse your future, for now!
This experience will one day seem to be a just blink of the eye. This time – is real & it is just a small blip compared to our cosmic existence. Not saying it is not happening, of course….
Yoga & Ayurveda teaches that we are not just this physical body. There are many layers to ourselves, & these layers or Kosha, (which I teach especially in the Primordial Sound Meditation Course,) helps us understand who we are.
We are infinite & our potentially able to create more power.
