Although I have caught a respiratory flu virus and feel as though someone is pulling off my skin while I'm still in it, I can feel grateful amidst this illness. I am grateful to teach at a school where you are encouraged to care for yourself, the team pulls together when someone is out, and we have sick time with pay. I am grateful that the wonderful peeps with whom I work are sending me thoughts of healing and care. I am grateful I don't feel, - and am not made to feel - guilty for being ill. I am grateful for a warm bed with a heated mattress pad, and lots of hot tea and hot cocoa made with almond milk!
I am grateful for my thoughts that surround being sick. I am determined to be well soon, and I am creating lots of healing affirmations to say to myself, instead of "Oh, no, not again" or "I'll be sick for so long". My thoughts are: "Every minute and every hour I am getting better and better", "My immune system is strong and powerful and is destroying this virus", and "I am radiant health". I decided to do some pranayama to see if that would help, and it did! A few rounds of Kapalabhati and Nadi Shodanham, and I am breathing clearer with diminished amounts of mucus, and my energy is up a notch. The link below offers definitive and accurate instruction for Kapalabhati, as taught by my teacher from the HImalayan Institute, Sandra Anderson! https://yogainternational.com/article/view/kapalabhati-pranayama-the-skull-shining-breath During my time of sitting, I sent out thoughts and visualizations for radiant health; security and financial abundance; Hygge and comfort in my environment; freedom, time, and money for creative expression; love and connection; and freedom, time, and money to pursue my favorite passe-temps. I asked for these things for myself and for the world as I sent out vibes of peace, light, and love to the world. Did you get some? I am determined to be recovered quickly and I see it happened. Mote it be!
