Coronoavirus Emergency & Healing Services:
I intend to continue to offer some services in person from my home healing location during this exceptional time, while I will be available by phone/Internet/Skype to work with clients remotely and will provide online versions of group events and workshops to accommodate the current stay at home circumstances. I encourage everyone to follow local media reports or government agencies for updates on emergency measures in place. Much of our country and the world are in an emergency mode of precaution related to the well publicized outbreak of COVID-19 a novel strain of coronavirus. Coronavirus is a category of viruses that includes the viruses associated with a common cold, and the current coronavirus-19 strain is associated with severe respiratory illness and pneumonia symptoms. Like other acute viral infections this is most likely to present a risk of complications or risk of death to those who are already frail and immune compromised, such as the elderly and those with some types of illnesses or those taking medications that suppress immune response. Extreme measures have now been put in place to attempt to halt the spread of this viral infection to hopefully reduce fatalities, although the reality is that coronavirus is just one of numerous strains of viruses (including influenza viruses) that can and do progress to cause life threatening pneumonia in those who are weak or who don't receive suitable care when ill. Numerous people die every year from pneumonia conditions that began as a cold or flu type illness, and the threat from the COVID-19 does not appear to be especially novel in that regard even if it may be a faster spreading (than average) respiratory infection. I invite readers to view this YouTube video interview with an epidemiology professor and researcher about the current epidemic and the societal response to it:
https://youtu.be/lGC5sGdz4kg You can also view this video by an MIT scientist about supporting your health and the true agendas behind the pandemic hype. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf-qv9o8nq8 My own view point as a holistic health care professional and educator is that we would be wiser to focus more on supporting our health and well-being in a universal and systemic way rather than merely trying to attack or escape from a specific illness-related microorganism. Microbes will continue to mutate and evolve as their symbiotic and parasitic relationships with more advanced organisms unfold. How they interact with us, whether we get ill or not when exposed to them, depends upon our state of health, our energy field and our consciousness. This is something I am certain of from my own life experience, healing work with others, and decades of examining the empirical data on topics related to holistic medicine. While we may be physically isolating to avoid exposure to specific viruses we truly need more love, compassion, and connection in our lives to support our health. My commitment is to support the community in strengthening all aspects of health and providing a holistic perspective to help foster approaches to wellness that lead to better long term outcomes for individuals and society as a whole.
To help support immune response and prevent or recover from illness there are many things we can do that don't require hospitals or costly medical care. A healthy balanced diet that supplies adequate nutrients while minimizing processed disease promoting ingredients will help. Adequate rest, sunshine, and bathing in pure water (rather than chlorinated tap water which interferes with iodine in our bodies - iodine being a vital anti-microbial element and essential for thyroid hormone synthesis). Consuming food or supplements with plenty of Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, selenium, iodine, zinc, and magnesium. Sea vegetation such as blue-green algaes (spirulina and AFA) and seaweeds (kelp, dulse, bladderwrack, etc.). Herbal extracts and teas such as echinacea, goldenseal, garlic, oregano, cistus incanus, ginger, thyme, and immune modulating mushroom extracts with beta glucans are things that have empirical or clinical support for helping heal from illnesses. Other options to support the immune response include colloidal silver, oxygen therapies, alkaline water, and hydrogen water. Focus on living in the present and making time to have fun, not immersing your mind in fear about the future. The future is ultimately always uncertain, we just come to realize it more when things occur to upset our routines and sense of stability and security. Find time to connect with nature and trees and experience their grounding support. In a universe of synchronicity we have our attention directed toward a virus named "corona" which translates to mean a crown. In energy healing we have our crown chakra, the energy center that connects us to the spiritual realm, unified consciousness, and higher wisdom. Let's take this time to keep our crowns open to receive divine light, guidance, and healing energies to help us move through these challenges toward greater unity and awareness. If you have specific health concerns you are encouraged to seek care and guidance from a qualified health care provider who can address your specific diagnosis and treatment needs.
