Immunity Rescue Mission

I want everyone to stay healthy. These mental, physical and spiritual rituals can promote strength, healing, protection and security in uncertain times. To up-regulate the immune system, to breathe deep, to feel peace, to be anti-fragile, convex, to zig when all those around you zag - these are radical responses. By cultivating the skill of observation and staying in the now, one can develop a weird strange wonderful war tactic for resilience. 

The world around us is speaking to us all the time. It might tell one to say, plant a garden, study herbs, walk, meditate, shop local, build wealth in new unexplored ways beyond a dollar and to see a deeper meaning in life. 

A few weeks ago for colleagues at work whom I made some oils for I created a short affirmation: 

I am healthy and nourished, I'm protected and I flourish. 

We all have our own lamps inside us with which to light the way. Mine is currently lit with magical healing herbal oils on candlewick. This is how I navigate dark caves and cages of the soul - my fiery wall of protection or flaming St. Michael's sword. In this soup of coronavirus craziness in which we all swim and simmer on the stove, we must salvage what we can of the past ways and rescue what we want to keep from as yet unborn futures. We must pirate captain this bad ass virus sea and risk for fortune and mercies. The only way out, is through.

We are the resilience we need for our selves. We are its root. We are our own best  beacon of protection, our own flaming sword and saintly shield. We stand at the gate of the darkness. But we will not go in. Our mission won't let us. We are healthy, nourished, protected and we flourish.
