Healing Intention (or) Prayer

I AM, with every breath I take, exhaling that which no longer serves me and inhaling divine white light. This white light enhances every aspect of my physical, mental and emotional body, strengthening my capacity to heal and be healed. As I AM breathing this breath myself, I AM also sharing its potential with all beings.

I Am grateful for all that is given to me, past present and future. I AM of the light, connected above and below, grounded and safe!

Your Immune System

Our immune system is directly related to our energy level.

As someone who works with energy, I see how we all hook into patterns that are both healthy and unhealthy. Being aware of how you are feeling and to optimize your energetic response (resolve) will be critical for your good health.

If we feel negative emotion for any length of time our immune system becomes compromised and we more likely to become ill. On the contrary, when we are optimistic and happy, illness is much less likely to affect us.

No one can manage your life experience for you, it is a choice. We can only be resilient and strong for others when we are strong ourselves.

The Beatles sang “All You Need Is Love,” and as corny as the song might sound, let me ask this question. Remember back to a time when you truly felt the emotion “love,” and at that moment did you feel unwell or in any way compromised? Love is a high vibratory state of being, and in this state, we feel superhuman having endless energy.

Ways to Enhance Your Immune System

  • Be informed but not overwhelmed

We all want to know more about this virus but limit your curiosity to need to know facts. If you are feeling overwhelmed, you’ve had too much exposure and need a break.

  • Avoid drama

This could relate to news repeating itself and scaring you, or it could be any other negative spin happening in your life. Evaluate what you spend your time doing or thinking about and take out the unnecessary drama that may be fueling negative emotion and making you feel tired and depleted.

  • Take a break

Allow for downtime. We all need time to ourselves or to be with friends and relax. Give yourself permission to have a lazy moment anytime you think you need one.

  • Breathe

Throughout your day, stop what you are doing and notice your breath. Take 10 long relaxed breaths, and with each breath focus on letting go of any tension or stress. When finished you will feel much more relaxed. Repeat as many times as needed.

  • Stay active.

It doesn’t matter how you get regular exercise, just remember that all movement is beneficial to your body, energy levels, and your overall health.

  • Get enough sleep.

Many of us cut corners when it comes to sleep, thinking we’ll make up for it at some point. Without adequate sleep, we start our day depleted which will affect our energy levels.

  • Eat a balanced diet

Remember that what you eat, and drink is the fuel for your body and mind. Drink enough fluids to stay hydrated and eat a combination of foods to benefit your overall health. Take time to enjoy eating and focus on the nutrition in the food enhancing your health and wellbeing.

  • Reduce stress.

As we mindfully identify our stress and reduce it, our body and immune system are strengthened, and we thrive in life. You can also use a statement like this to honor and alter any stress you may be feeling “Any stress that I do encounter is healthy and helpful”.

  • Think positive thoughts.

It’s been said that over the course of a day, we think negative thoughts 70% of the time or more.

Being quiet for a few moments can help us identify negative thought patterns, then we can reduce these thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts.

A great time to set up positive thoughts for your day is immediately after you wake up. Remind yourself of all the blessing around you

Here is a mantra that might become a healthy new thought and can be modified to state anything you would like to enhance. “I AM perfect health.”

  • Surrender control

Many of us think we can control every aspect of our lives and in trying, we become frustrated and tired. Let the traffic around you flow, releasing the idea that you can or should be in control.

  • Prayer

It doesn’t matter who you pray to, but that you speak directly and with love, asking for what you need and being grateful for what you have.

A nice prayer might be; “With every breath, I take today, may my heart be warm, open, and full of love and my thoughts calm and satisfying. I share this intention with my family, my community and all beings.”

  • Start a daily routine

Find a time in your day to introduce a practice. This could involve meditation, movement such as Yoga and Qi Gong, Breathwork, taking a walk and so on. Your routine should bring vibrant new energy into your body, balance and ground this energy and expand the magnificence of who you are.

  • Have a healing session

Schedule a massage or have a Reiki session. Ask someone who works with energy to offer you a healing session or provide a remote session for you or to enhance the energy of your home or workplace.

Keep the happy vibe rolling and keep it simple
