I know that this is very late but here is what I do when I feel those cold/flu/whatever symptoms coming on. I "go into it"and feel everything body is going through as deeply as I can. I pay particular attention to any emotions that come up and let them move. The symptoms all go away and never get worse.

Just read it and agree 100%. This one slipped by me for some reason - well, there are lots of reasons why. My body needed a good detox and it surely got one. :) When I went out and about for the first time after about a week, everything looked brighter! I felt like I'd slipped into another dimension. :)

I totally agree with all you said regarding our toxic environment. I also believe that when not feeling well, one of the best remedies of all is sleep. Feel better soon.

Aww, Sheila, favorite reader, 💗💗, thank you always for your dear comments! I forgot to say (maybe I intentionally forgot!) how ego bruising it is for we holistic folks to be sick. Also, like your toolbox, my mind goes blank because I'm not clear-headed and I forget what to do. Anyway, this shall pass and I imagine I needed a good cleansing. It was probably those cider donuts... 😂 and potato chips..😂 💖

I sometimes relish in being under the weather... its a forced time to slow down. I think its healthy once in a while. I certainly don't think contagion is the thing... there is way more to it and honestly I am ok with not knowing. I too HATE nausea.. the worst. I've been dealing with it due to digestive issues. I hope you are on the up soon.. it does stink not feeling well but honestly I hope you can find smiles in the allowed/required laziness 💝. I wish I was closer to stop in and open your windows 🥰🥰🥰🥰 xoxo rest my favorite Author!!! I need you well to read me to sleeps❤

You literally just made me cry, Jamie. No one has ever referred to me as their "favorite Author!" And with a capital A, no less! 😭 And, lol, my favorite part of my own newsletter was writing about Florence! I think you're right that's it's healthy to go through this once in a while. Thank you for all of your support. I love you! Sweet Dreams! 😴 💗

I'm so glad you were able to address this as it was emerging. What a gift. Thank you for sharing your experience. With so many intense shifts and wild energy in our collective thought body, mindfulness and having a well-stocked apothecary is a blessing. May you continue on your healing path and maybe this is it for you for another decade or so. ♥
