colds, flus + love

Since Christmas Eve, I’ve gotten caught by some sort of something three times! I cannot remember the last time I’ve been sick, so this is quite surprising.

So what does Saying Yes to Love have to do with it? Well, it’s easy to find ourselves with unloving thoughts, i.e.: “I don’t have time for this”, “will I ever feel well?”, “it was dumb of me to go without my jacket, now look what happened”, “I have no one to care for me”, “My partner doesn’t know how to care for me”…. The mind’s dialogs are only limited by our imagination! Someone once said “There’s no greater nation than imagination”. That’s so true, and we can be in an imagi-nation of doom + gloom, or an imagi-nation of upliftment and love.

So how do we change our thoughts while feeling yucky? How do we say Yes to Love?

I’ve found that I recover faster when I choose to be kind to myself; nurturing, resting and eating good food, both physically + mentally. This equals Love to me. Even when we feel we cannot stop and rest, because we’ve got to get the kids to school, care for our family, etc, we can still be kind to ourselves by watching our thoughts and inner dialogue.

Masuro Emoto has done numerous studies on the effects of spoken words and water. I’ll talk more about that in another post, but remember that we’re 98% water. What we speak + think really does affect us.

What would it look like for you to Say Yes to Love, when you’re not feeling well? Can you make that happen? If you don’t think so, why? Is it reasonable? If so, do you feel you don’t deserve it? If that’s the case, please make the choice to abandon thoughts of self-neglect and embrace thoughts of Love. You deserve it!

A few years ago, it seemed I was frequently catching colds and became very nervous about having colds + flus passed on to me. I decided to write an affirmation / meditation / treatment to dispell this, and it has really helped to change my perspective!

Maybe it will help you too:

My Love, I know only You are real.
God is all there is and your spirit, your life, fills every aspect of my being.
You are perfect health and this perfection is also mine.
I am a Golden Vessel of Light.
Perfect Health radiates within me in every part of my being.
Every cell is constantly renewed by Love.
My veins are clear and strong, and the blood flowing through them is filled with the Life of God.
Every bodily function is operating perfectly.
I am stronger with every breath I take.
As I discover the broken places, I see Golden Liquid flowing there, and encompassing me with Compassion.
There is only Love, Harmony and Grace in every muscle, every bone, and every tissue.
I see myself bathed in your Golden Healing Light.
As of this moment, I let go of my beliefs about catching a cold.
I release my fears about other people passing a cold to me.
I know that each breath I take is your breath, and your breath is that of Life Abundance.
Within me, there is no place for sickness to dwell,
Within me, there is no place for fear to dwell.
I reject the habit of colds and flus.
I eliminate the imagination of sickness and turn my thoughts to Love.
I turn my thoughts to Health.
Thank you for opening my eyes to see your Beauty even more clearly.
My thoughts are Love.
My thoughts are Peace.
My thoughts are Perfect Health.
And so it is.
