What to do when the top starts spinning ... out of control

The last blaze of summer has now burnt out and a freshness of autumn lingers instead.  Some would say that the change of season and temperature changes cause the body stress and increases its susceptibility to illness.  Others claim that Fall kicks off the flew season with a bang when all students, from pre-schooler to graduate student return to the classroom, that common breeding ground for bugs, germs viruses and infections of all kind, even the psychological variety.  Then there are those who ascribe the common cold to a simple lack of sleep or physical malnutrition.  When you get a sore throat, come down with a cough, develop a head or stomach ache, and/or get a runny nose, you may promptly point to any of these rationales for your (hopefully) abnormal discomfort.  Yet still other philosophies and postulates exist which explain and provide a framework for understanding the phenomenon of illness.  The metaphysical realm describes our universe in terms of flows of energy.  Our physical being and intellect is the only thing that prescribes a value judgment to the energy, space and environment around and within us.  Such a perspective proposes that we are far more connected to one another in our age of digital, wireless and networked technology than ever before in the history of the planet.  Such an electrical environment offers heightened experiences for us as individuals and communities, yet at a cost.  Fore today, the concentrations of energies having anti-harmonic vibrations or frequencies above the tolerance of organic tissue disturb the equilibrium of our physical, emotional and mental state of being.  When your channel is too wide open, you can leave yourself prone to be swept up by the tides around you.  This, coupled with environmental conditions, is exactly what happens for many when the end of summer comes and autumn begins.

So rather than Secom to a chronic cold or days of misery in bed, why not adopt and be mindful of the basic tips for healthy living?

1) Keep rested and get a good night's sleep.

2) Maintain good nutrition - a wholesome and balanced diet as appropriate for your body and activity level.

3) Stay warm - as Goldie Lox would say: not hot, not cold, but just right.

4) Sustain at least the minimal level of physical exercise each day and week.

5) For the energetic feelers and realistic meta-physical experiencers, maintain a clear space in whatever way suits your fancy: a walk through nature, moment of silence, inner meditation, visit to "the special place", maintain your Merkaba, zone out, etc.

 

Combine all of these together as fit for the occasion and find out how quickly you bounce back on the rare times when the weather bug bites.
