Boost Your Immune System Through Love, not Fear
Love nourishes. Fear can kill.
Sounds simple, right?
Let’s go deeper in the hopes that it will help you make the body mind and spirit choices to boost your immune system through these continuing COVID-19 times.
Your Immune System
Throughout your years inhabiting your miraculous body, you’ve likely become aware of some of the signs that your immune system needs a boost.
You may get frequent colds or tummy troubles, tiredness, stress, slow-healing wounds, infections or achy muscles and joints.
For me, my hands are my biggest messengers. And the holiday season is often when I’m reminded of that.
I ended up overindulging in sugar, causing my eczema to act up. I even got a few days of arthritis-like symptoms in my hands, which only happens when I overdo the sugar – a well-known immune buster.
But what (or how & why) you eat aren’t the only reasons your immune system may be suffering.
Fear as an Immune Buster
The latest wave of COVID-19 cases is leading to another wave of lock-downs, separateness, and fear.
There’s a difference between:
- being aware of a risky situation and taking the necessary precautions to stay safe, and
- feeding into a mass frenzy that positions everyone and everything as potential enemies, rendering you blind to opportunities and hope.
You too have no doubt witnessed strange things around you and perhaps even within yourself that didn’t feel like loving reactions to our world’s situation: thoughts, acting-out behaviours, conversations, feelings, family conflicts, etc.
It’s definitely harder to stay “up” when the energy around is so heavy.
Collective fear is hanging over this planet like a dark cloud. It too is contagious. It’s weakening our immune systems!
I encourage you to take a look in your life and environment to see what is feeding your fear and therefore busting your immune system.
Whether it’s looking a the news too often, hanging out with negative people, eating foods that depress you, or sacrificing the present for worry about the future – how are you weakening your immune system?
Choosing Love as an Immune Booster
Loving thoughts.
Loving actions.
Loving words.
Loving choices.
Loving decisions.
This includes the realization that what one person may believe is loving (to self and others) may not be what you believe is loving… The best we can do is ask ourselves “What would Love do now?” in the face of these differences.
By raising your vibration in body, mind, and spirit, you are strengthening your immune system.
How can you love yourself best right now? How can you spread love within your own life and environment? It too can be contagious and a whole lot healthier than feeding and spreading fear.
What you focus on expands. Where attention goes, energy flows.
So instead of excessively worrying about catching COVID (which lowers your immune system and could attract it to you), go for a nature walk, dance to your favourite song, or listen to a meditation that raises your vibration and spreads love around the planet.
Instead of complaining about those with opposing views (which creates separateness and conflict), focus on your own peace.
And instead of focusing on all the bad news, nourish your good-news sensors by paying attention to all that we have to be grateful for – on a personal and collective level.
Remember, you can only be of service to others if you’re happy & healthy enough. So what can you do for yourself first?
May You Be Happy & Healthy
The symbolic Visual Gift (top of page) I co-created with Spirit as part of a client’s Divine Storytelling Time Package last week was a wonderful reminder of the importance to “Drink deeply from the sweetness of life”.
It’s all there to drink from – love & fear. Whichever we choose will be our reality in body, mind, and spirit.
May you boost your immune system in all the ways that are best suited to you!
Have a happy & healthy new year beloved!
And if you have a favourite immune booster (in body, mind or spirit), feel free to share it in the comments below.
