Share this vital information with all those that are ready for this wisdom.

The present-day pandemic is causing a separateness, and a dispersal of consciousness that is affecting every single person's life. Most people feel inside their stomachs and hearts the grip of massive and drastic change, unimaginable and unseen, and that gripping feeling comes from the unknown and the unpredictable. Sudden and unexpected change is catching people by surprise, and the response is one of fear, anxiety, and often, panic. These drastic changes are bringing disruption to our changeless routine. When our predictable routines and patterns are disrupted, we feel frightened, insecure, and even overwhelmed. Spiritually speaking, we are being faced with a perfect storm.

 

Why is this Global Pandemic Happening-A Metaphysical Perspective

What is in a Name: The Coronavirus/Covid-19 Vibration

Mastery of a thing depends upon knowledge, because we can never master a thing of which we have no knowledge. The truth is, for us to have the knowledge of a thing, we must first know its name. Karma is enclosed within the name. To a mystic, the past, present and future reveal themselves through a name much like one reads the beginning, middle and ending of a book. The meaning of a name has a great influence upon its possessor as well as upon others. According to Divine Spiritual Wisdom, each letter of a name has a numerical value. With this system, the combination of the numbers in any name reveals its mystical effect or archetypal vibration. Insight into the archetypal energy within a name gives us knowledge and knowledge leads us to mastery.

When we take a closer look at the order and meaning of the letters and attributes contained in the word “coronavirus”, we uncover a powerful message of guidance and vision about this deadly virus. According to the metaphysical science of numbers, the name “coronavirus” has a numerical vibration of 43, which represents the "Point of the Reaper”. It indicates destruction, abortive enterprises and annihilation. Under this vibration, things may be reduced to nothing. When we take a closer look at the order and meaning of the numbers contained in the name, “COVID-19”, we learn that it has a numerical vibration of 13, known as archetype Death or the Reaping Skeleton. It is the archetypal energy of regeneration and change. This 13th key of the Major Arcana is a vibration of transformation, death and resurrection; letting go of the past in order to grow beyond limitations; letting go sometimes signifies destruction; a number of upheavals; undoing and new beginnings. It is a symbol of power that needs to be properly used in order to avoid self-destruction. The primary figure of the 13th key of the Major Arcana, Death, shows us a skeleton with a scythe, reaping men in a field of newly grown grass. The faces of youth appear to be thrusting through the ground. This card represents the transformation and rebirth of consciousness on a higher plane. It indicates ambitions mowed down like grass in a field, and a life cut short. Specifically, the sum of the numbers 1 and 3 in 13 add to the number four. Interestingly, the year 2020 as well reduces to 4, the number of Uranus, known mystically as the north node of the Moon, or Rahu. It is an active and often disruptive force, a malefic planet, dynamic in nature, with a low vibration. In metaphysics it is written as 1 - 4. The number 4 is Uranus or the negative aspect of the Sun. Rahu brings confusion, poses hurdles in life, creates sudden change and can lead to disaster.

 

Looking into the unseen forces: What does the combination of Astrological and Planetary Influences Behind the Coronavirus Pandemic reveal

In March 2019, Uranus entered Taurus and will remain in Taurus until April 26, 2026. It means that Uranus, a vibration of disruption, surprises and drastic changes, which can often be malefic in nature, is presently in the zodiac sign Taurus and will remain there for the next seven years. Uranus rules all things unexpected, while Taurus represents stability and security. This is metaphorical of Uranus coming to destroy our stability. Uranus is called the great awakener, causing us to wake up. As a whole, the influence of Uranus teaches us to find new ways of looking at things.

This pandemic is causing the comfortable way of life that we have known up until now to change, and for us to pay attention and take care. Our very way of life is being turned upside down, people are wearing masks, changing their routines, and schools, flights and programs are being canceled. Circumstances show us that things are in a state of change, and what worked in the past is no longer working. Besides all the amazing and beautiful technological discoveries, advanced forms of communication, online access and social media governed by Uranus, it is also a planet of revolution and disruption that works to limit, restrict, confine and isolate us. We can see this restrictive, limiting aspect of Uranus being experienced by those who are quarantined and isolated during this pandemic. Indeed, we are all starting to experience some form of limitation and disruption in our usual routine. Uranus enters like a hurricane, acting quickly and sometimes turning things upside down, or spinning them around in the other direction in a split second.

Please, if you have not yet prepared yourself for the transition into Aries, do so now before we reach the cusp. As of March 21st, 2020, while in Aries, Uranus will be paired with Mars, because Mars is the ruling planet of Aries. Usually, the influence of the next zodiac sign is felt 7 days prior. This means that we may start feeling the impact of Mars through Aries about 7 days in advance, starting on March 14th. A Uranus-Mars conjunction can be brutal and violent. It represents the hidden, the dark mysteries, mortality and darkness. This may bring greater disruption, panic, fear and anger. There is no guarantee, but from April 13 to August 22 there is a window in which may see a ray of light in the form of one or more discoveries that may give us hope. Let us pray for the light to prevail.

The Perfect Storm

In effect, we are living in times ruled by Uranus, that will create drastic changes in everyone's life. During the Decoding 2020 lecture held at the start of this year, we took a comprehensive look at the 2020 vibration, and the combination of forces we will be faced with from 2020 - 2026. We learned that this year specifically will lead to the onset of airborne diseases, along with other disturbances. In essence, we have seven years ruled by the influence of Uranus; 2020 is ruled by Uranus; and a pandemic caused by COVID-19 whose mystical numeration carries the archetypal energy of Uranus. This is why this time is referred to as a perfect storm.

This virus is not bound by geography, race, creed or gender. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from or what you look like, we are all affected, one way or another. Humankind may be forced to come together and sacrifice for each other to overcome this global pandemic. Simply put, we are all in this together.

According to Divine Spiritual Wisdom, unconditional love, service, sacrifice and divine truth deflect the negative influence of Uranus. Interestingly, most children seem to be spared by this virus. One reason may be because of their pure hearts and unconditional love. As of now there is no cure for COVID-19 and the medical community is projecting 1 - 2 years before a vaccine can be created and administered. Unfortunately, it is likely that things will get worse before they get better. Next to science and medicine, divine love, purity, sacrifice and divine truth are among some of the best weapons we have right now in this fight.

In addition to people transitioning, this pandemic is causing many other powerful and unpredictable events such as illnesses, financial fluctuations, and new behaviors from others, that are all outside of our control. It is disrupting our routine, shocking the system and waking us up. The physical world is the ever-changing play of creation. The only unchanging reality is the Oneness, the force that is simultaneously behind and beyond form. We are being forced to explore the nature of our attachments. This vibration is destroying the false and rigid structures that we have entrenched ourselves in. These times will create drastic change in everyone's life and change creates great fear and anxiety. However, we do not have to approach this time with fear. There are certain actions we can take to overcome this vibration.

 

IN THE NEWS-Divine Spiritual Wisdom in Sync with the Medical World!

 

Chris Cuomo, television journalist, CNN anchor and brother of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, shared the medical advice he received in his own personal battle with COVID-19 yesterday and the importance of breathing exercises and staying hydrated. Click to watch CNN Report. 

Although a prescription of breath exercises and hot water may seem nonessential in the face of this global pandemic that has taken thousands of lives, the protective and restorative benefits of such seemingly simple actions are rooted in deep wisdom. From the very onset of this pandemic and throughout its progression, Dr. Levry has continuously shared in his public communications (March 7th, 13th, 17th, and 21st) that because the coronavirus specifically targets the respiratory system, we need to support our lungs through a regular breath practice. He also emphasized the importance of drinking hot water to take care of the liver, which plays a vital role in purifying the body during this time, as many people will experience excessive mental, emotional and physical stress. “You will prove me right,” Dr. Levry said in his most recent global video broadcast on March 21st. Click to listen to broadcast. 

Today the medical community is urging us to take care of our respiratory system through breathing exercises. As more and more people become aware of the importance of breath work during this critical time, please also remember to drink hot water. As the medical and scientific community searches for a cure, by working with the breath and drinking hot water you and your loved ones will benefit from a self-protective therapy that may take the rest of the world years to catch on to. Please do not wait to apply this simple yet life saving wisdom. We want you to have the best of everything. Recommend that friends and family members have a daily breath practice and drink hot water even if they do not experience any symptoms. As Dr. Levry has said, these vital remedies are as essential in prevention as they are in recovery.

Health Practices at a Critical Phase of the Global Pandemic

 

Protecting Life at a Critical Phase of the Global Pandemic

This global pandemic is sweeping through the world in various waves and we are moving into a critical period where each one of us must play a leading role to stop the spread of this virus.

2. PRACTICAL FORMULAS AND SELF-CARE TECHNIQUES to Make Your Body Resilient and Healthy                                                                                                                                                                                                

1. Work with Triple Mantra daily for 11-31 minutes using Heart Mudra to protect your heart. This virus attacks the lungs and the heart. Heart Mudra is a multi-functional mudra or hand position that relieves the pressures of worry and stress placed on the heart, purifies the body, and strengthens the lungs at the same time. Learn more about Heart Mudra in Divine Doctor, Chapter 12; sixth edition.                                                                             
2. Practice The Naam 5 daily. In face of COVID-19, medical experts are now saying that we can better fight this disease if we build our cardiovascular health and improve our lung respiration prior to being infected. Click here to read more from medical experts. This is why, while sheltering at home, it is important to move your body every day with The Naam 5, a specialized practice for lung and heart health. The Naam 5 Video Practice delivers a total body workout and will strengthen your immune system.                                                                                                                                               
3. Keep a steady daily Sukshma Vyayama practice when possible. It will give you indescribable health and an invincible spirit. When doing it Sukshma Vyayama daily, allow yourself to rest one day a week.                                                                                                                                                   
4. From the standpoint of a daily breath and meditation practice for this complex time, the 2020 Video and Music Meditation Companion has everything one needs to maintain a healthy and positive mindset, cultivate a good emotional life and successfully navigate this year.                                                                                                                                                         
5. Stick to a daily routine of drinking hot water. It is highly beneficial to drink six cups of hot water a day: two in the morning, two at noon, and two in the early evening. Drink the last two cups early enough so that they do not interrupt your sleeping pattern, which is vital to a strong immune system. Hot water is not only the best remedy for the liver, it is the basis of life and the primary means of how we flush toxins from our body. When it is sipped hot, hot water becomes even more effective. Our cells need water to function properly.  When well-hydrated, our bodies can eliminate waste and better break down substances that give us vital nutrients and minerals. The brain and heart are composed of about 73% water. The skin is about 64% water, the muscles and kidneys are about 79%, and even the bones are 31% water. Water forms our saliva and it is very important during this time not to let your mouth become dry.  Water is a shock absorber for the brain and spinal cord. It helps to regulate our internal body temperature and allows us to sweat out toxins. Work with water that is hot enough so you can only drink it by sipping it which purifies your body and makes it strong against disease. Read The Ultimate Secrets of Intimacy and Creation to learn more about the extensive benefits of hot water.
6. Gargle with warm salt-water morning and night and anytime you return from being out as described in the Vital Remedies for Virus Protection below.
7. When possible, expose your body to the Sun in the morning, preferably before 10AM. To learn more about how to heal yourself through the light of the sun you can refer to Divine Doctor, Chapter 8; sixth edition.
8. Consider taking a multi-vitamin, zinc, and vitamins A and C.
9. Avoid overeating at night or when about to retire.
10. Get plenty of sleep to strengthen your immune system.
11. Work with the following highly effective and simple healing Clove Formula One and Clove Formula Two.

Clove Formula One

Add 2 cups of water to a pot and let it come to a boil.  At the very moment that the water starts boiling, remove the pot from the heat.  Add either 7 cloves, or a handful of cloves, to the water immediately. Let this combination of water and cloves sit unrefrigerated overnight. The next morning, you can separate the cloves from the water and throw them away. Now, before doing anything else, and before consuming any food or water, take five tablespoons of the clove water and work with it in the following way.  Swish a portion of the clove water around in your mouth for about 10-15 seconds, then gargle it for about 5-10 seconds and then swallow the water (Repeat for a total of 3-5 times). This recipe should give you enough clove water to use for four mornings in a row. Refrigerate your remaining water, but warm it up before each usage. While doing this clove routine in the morning will suffice, you may also choose to do the same procedure at night before going to bed if you desire, in which case this recipe will only last you two days. Among other benefits, this practice will cleanse your lungs. This is an excellent way to prevent or treat colds, flus, asthma, coughs and disorders of the throat.  This formula is a rare and special gift and we ask you not to use it more than twice a day. 

Clove Formula Two

Take 5 cloves and boil them in water for five minutes. You can then use this water to make a facial steam bath, purposefully inhaling the vapor into your nose. For those who are not sick, you can do this as a preventive measure morning and evening.  For those who are sick, this technique can be increased to three to five times per day.                                                                                                                                                                                                               

3. SUGGESTED Morning and Evening Routine

Vital Remedies for Virus Protection

 

We are grateful to share with you a special selection of powerful time-proven and practical health techniques, remedies, breath practices and meditations to help keep your body and respiratory system resilient and healthy in order to strengthen you against the Coronavirus and other airborne illnesses.

These time-proven tools are completely natural and are easy to incorporate into your daily life. The ultimate key to healing and health is to live in a way that makes the body an unfavorable place for the spread of disease. The following Health Tools are not meant to replace medical advice, but rather to provide you with ancient yet timeless wisdom known to support your body’s innate self-healing mechanism. While the medical community is working hard to find cures for modern day diseases, we invite you to work with the power of prevention by incorporating the following tools into your daily life.

 

Health Tool #1 
Invest in Your Respiratory Health with a Strong Breath Practice

These breath practices turn your immune system into a strong defensive shield. It is excellent for prevention because it gives protection before adversity strikes. Powerful breath practices such as this will counteract the destructive energy of this Age, and help establish a small window for the light to prevail. Whoever does this sacred breath practice will come to know the true power of prana. It is one of the most effective breath practices for these challenging times.

Strong lungs and a well-functioning respiratory system will keep your body strong and healthy. The breath practice in the Breath Bar Virus Protection video was created especially for the health challenges being faced during this age. It includes a special breath technique to kill viruses as well as powerful techniques to build the lungs, and strengthen the immune system. By doing these breath practices every day, you will build the vital energy in your body in a way that makes it much harder to catch a cold, the flu, or any airborne disease. Children can also do this breath practice.

Regarding airborne illnesses, it is very important to work with the lungs in a way that keeps them elastic and purifies them from unwanted particles and germs that may travel more deeply into the body. These breath sets are designed to take care of the immune system, strengthen and increase the elacticity of the lungs and to give you excellent respiratory health. They can be performed in less than 30 minutes and practiced morning and night as a powerful defense against disease.

Check the Health of Your Lungs Each Morning
Every day it is important to pay attention to the condition of your lungs. You can do this by inhaling deeply and suspending your breath for 10 to 20 seconds or more. Also, each morning, try to inhale for 20 counts, hold the breath for 20 counts, and exhale for 20 counts. If you can do these two things successfully, without coughing, without discomfort, stuffiness or tightness, etc., it is an indication that there is no fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicating that there is no sign of infection. Therefore, in critical times such as now, please self-check your breath every morning so that you can evaluate the condition of your lungs and take action as necessary.

Breath Bar: Virus Protection 
To Strengthen the Immune System, Fortify the Body and Balance the Thyroid
This breath practice is a sacred system practiced by mystics throughout the ages to strengthen the immune system and keep all kinds of health problems away. You may do this breath practice twice a day, morning and night and in challenging times 3-5 times per day.

 

 

Breath Bar: Healthy Lungs
Strengthen and Restore the Elasticity of the Lungs

Health Tool #2
Sip Hot Water for Healthy Digestion and to Purify the Body

Hot water is more than it appears to be. Mystically, hot water is the “hand” of God or the “spirit” of God. It is the action of sipping hot water that turns it into a powerful remedy, for when you sip it, you are mixing it with your saliva in a potent way that causes it to be a true healing nectar in your body. Sipping hot water is like performing Sitali Pranayam, a breath known to have endless healing benefits, such as supporting the liver and improving digestive health. The liver and lungs are both transformers of energy. The lungs are transformers of our mental energy and the liver is a transformer of the energies of our feelings, directing them to the sympathetic nervous system. The liver absorbs the poisons of the body and transforms them. If the liver is upset, poison spreads throughout the body and a person may die. Sipping hot water is one of the best remedies for the liver. The most important function of the liver is to assure the smooth movement of energy throughout the body. By nourishing the skin and muscles with energy and blood, the liver enhances the body's resistance to potentially harmful external conditions and allows it to recover from injuries.

Take care that the mouth and throat are moist, and never dry. Take a few sips of hot water every 10 to 15 minutes at least, and more frequently when have to be in a public place or vulnerable area. When you sip on hot water or even the Naam Star Anise Chai Tea indicated below, it washes through your body and into the stomach and works with your stomach acid to kill any virus that may have travelled into your body through your mouth. When we do not drink water often enough, the virus can enter the windpipes and then the lungs and become fatal. The Coronavirus can be somewhat easily identified by the presence of a dry cough without a runny nose. It is believed that this new strand of corona virus is not heat resistant. Therefore, drinking plenty of hot water, keeping the body warm through exercise and eating warming foods can help to prevent the virus from taking root.

A Mystical Understanding of Hot Water 
The purpose of sipping hot water is to be born again, out of our health challenges, by working with the primal elements of water and fire. Water is a representation of Divine Love, which is the creative force of the Divine that leads to life. Fire is a representation of Divine Wisdom that gives light and warmth and is a sign of the presence of God. Symbolically, hot water is likened to the Hebrew letters Shin (fire) and Mem (water) and when the two are added together, it is symbolic of bringing Love and Wisdom together in order to give birth to Truth. In this way it is a symbol of regeneration, transformation and transmutation. Truth gives us freedom from our problems. Therefore, hot water is a purifying element and a symbol of new life on many levels. Hot water brings purity and sanctity. Drinking it causes us to come into harmony with the laws of Love, Wisdom and Truth. Indeed, drinking hot water is akin to receiving a divine injection of spiritual force and new life. When we unite Shin (fire) to Mayim (water) to create Shamayim, or hot water, and drink it through the throat, which is associated with the power of the word, we cause the spirit of God, or Ruach Elohim, to descend and cleanse the temple of the Lord, which is our body. As a result, we are reborn out of our health challenges. By drinking hot water, our body becomes an unfavorable environment for disease to thrive in. Hot water will purify your digestion, soothe and cleanse your liver, and nourish your kidneys. Throughout the ages, when humankind was confronted with various epidemics and health challenges, the great mystics who turned to hot water warded off disease. It causes your body to become the wrong environment for germs, bacteria and viruses to multiply. When you find yourself in a place, a crowd, or an area of the world affected by viruses, it is recommended to keep a thermos of hot water with you and sip on it every 10-15 minutes. Even when a person does become sick, drinking hot water will give the body a great advantage in minimizing or overcoming an illness.

 

 

Health Tool #3 
Work with Naam Star Anise Chai Tea to Prevent Getting Sick

Drinking the Naam Chai Tea with Star Anise is one of the most potent natural defenses you can work with when faced with airborne illnesses. It is a powerful formula that combines the healing qualities of star anise, black pepper, cardamom, clove, ginger, and cinnamon. This tea has a multitude of healing benefits: it is anti-viral, it improves digestion, and it promotes intestinal health. It can both prevent colds and provide relief at the onset of a cold. Children can also drink this tea. Note: It is not recommended for women to take ginger during pregnancy. Star Anise, one of the main ingredients of the Naam Star Anise Chai Tea, can be found in Tamiflu, one of the most sought-after drugs on the planet, in response to the SARS avian flu. In the event of a swine or avian flu pandemic, Tamiflu was considered the remedy.

A Closer Look at the Healing Properties of Star Anise

(Only use the Healing Variety of Star Anise -Illicium Verum)

The variety of Star Anise known as Illicium verum can be used not only for colds, but to restore balance to your whole immune system. It can fight and prevent infections in the mouth, throat and genitourinary tract.

It is important not to confuse the variety of Star Anise known as Illicium verum with the Japanese variety of Star Anise known as Illicium anisatum, which is highly toxic to the nervous and digestive systems. They look very similar. The Japanese Star Anise variety can damage the kidneys, digestive organs and urinary tract, and can cause seizures. The Japanese call this version of Star Anise “shikimi” and burn it for incense. Please note that products containing Star Anise should not be given to infants or children.

The Origins of Star Anise 
Star anise, or Illicium verum, is a native plant of Asia, commonly used to promote vitality and vigor in the human system. In Asia and central America, Star Anise has been used to treat cramps, gas, indigestion and intestinal parasites as well as cough, bronchitis and lung ailments. In some cultures, it is given to babies for colic, though it may have serious side effects in infants and children.

According to the World Health Organization, "Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans." Twenty percent of the common colds we get are from coronaviruses. Most viruses are passed human to human and are very mild. Often, viruses will infect an animal, where they mutate and then infect humans. Two examples of this are SARS which has a mortality rate of 9.5% and MERS which has of mortality rate of 34.5%. Both of these have been contained. Coronavirus or COVID-19 is a new strain of SARS (called SARS2) which is 80% similar to the old SARS and appears to be more infectious and much harder to contain.

You can work with the Illicium verum variety of Star Anise alone or with the Naam Star Anise Chai Tea recipe below. If you are using only the Star Anise, take three cups of Star Anise tea each day. To make Star Anise tea, boil half a teaspoon of crushed seeds in a cup of water. Always make your own tea, from the whole pods, grinding them to yield about 1/2 teaspoon ground Star Anise steeped in hot water. Do not give Star Anise tea to infants or small children.

In general, when making Star Anise Tea, simmer it down for at least 30 minutes until it is reduced by half and then let it cool to room temperature before straining it, so the end result is a lot stronger and more concentrated than ordinary tea. Drink a few ounces of this tea 3 times a day.

The Respiratory Benefits of Star Anise Tea (Illicium Verum Variety)

• Helps with Cystic Fibrosis: This disease involves poor drainage of mucous from the lungs. This causes shallow breathing, and the accumulated moisture in the lungs leads to frequent infections, making it a very frustrating condition.
• Can help make breathing easier
• Can help shorten recovery time, as anise tea is equipped with several natural antibacterial and antiviral components that aid the immune system in eliminating infection.
• It is a warm herb that has been traditionally used to help bring relief to the colds and respiratory congestions that keep you down.
• is helpful at the onset of colds and flus and it helps to treat asthma, coughs, lung inflammation and bronchitis

Naam Star Anise Chai Tea Recipe 
This recipe is for a 3-gallon pot. Feel free to slightly adjust the ratio of ingredients to taste. Fill three quarters of your pot with water. Heat the water to a boil. While the water is heating, prepare the following:

1 teaspoon of crushed whole cloves 
1 teaspoon of whole black pepper 
3 teaspoons of crushed whole cardamom pods (or 2 tsp of cardamom seeds) 
3 long sticks of cinnamon, or 6 short sticks 1/2 to 2/3 of a ginger root, sliced (you can add a bit more ginger if you have the flu) 
7 whole pieces of Star Anise (as indicated above, do not use the Japanese variety).

Once the water is boiling, add the crushed cloves. A few minutes later, add the rest of the ingredients and keep the water at a low boil for approximately 30-45 minutes. If you are not sick, you may add your favorite almond or rice milk (avoid adding dairy to the tea). If you are sick it is best not to add any from of milk to the tea. The tea can be refrigerated for up to four days and reheated to drink as needed. To learn more about the additional healing properties of ginger, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon and cloves found in the Naam Star Anise Chai Tea, read the Divine Doctor.

Maintain Warmth in the Body

When the body is warm, it is harder to be infected with a virus. Eating warming foods, such as ginger can help to give the body added warmth and heat. If a person has a fever, they can cover themselves with a good blanket and drink a broth or soup made of ginger to increase the body temperature and purify the body of toxins. In general, it is recommended, for virus prevention, to eat more ginger, garlic and pepper and to eat less sweet, sour and salty foods. It is also a good idea to stay away from cold regions.

Protect your Larynx and Nasal Passages with Salt Water

Taurus rules the throat, including the neck and the larynx. We can work with the throat in a positive way to help preserve the stabilizing influence of Taurus. Viruses and bacteria hide in the pharynx, the part of the throat behind the mouth and nasal cavity, where they have an opportunity to multiply. The simple act of gargling salt water may create a difficult environment for the viruses or bacteria to survive. Washing your hands as often as you can and having good daily respiratory hygiene is of the utmost importance. Every morning, dissolve 1 – 2 teaspoons of salt in 8 oz. of lukewarm water. Fill your mouth with salt water, lift your head back and bathe your throat area with this water. Then, open your mouth slightly and gargle the water. After a few seconds of gargling, spit the water out. Repeat this process three times. A regular practice of gargling with salt water in this way will serve you well in preventing colds, coughs, and accompanying fevers. You can achieve similar benefits by keeping the nasal passages moist with a saline spray throughout the day. We can also work with the feet, our foundation, to stay in contact with the stabilizing forces of Taurus and minimize the disruptive nature of Uranus. Several times a week, soak your feet in warm water with sea-salt, as this will open the meridians that run throughout the body and draw out poisons.

 

Health Tool #6 
Make Thieves Oil Your Number One Essential Oil Blend for Disease Prevention

The History of Thieves Oil Unknown to many, Thieves Oil contains a very powerful and sophisticated blend of essential oils known to have protected people from disease throughout the ages. In 1997, Weber State University did a study that found Thieves essential oil blend to have a 99.96% success rate at killing airborne bacteria. Indeed, this essential oil blend and its name are derived from a story dated in the 15th century when the bubonic plague was running rampant throughout Europe and Asia. At that time, four thieves in Europe were notoriously robbing infectious dead bodies of their possessions, and miraculously never contracted the highly infectious plague present at that time. The thieves were eventually caught and charged which led to a deeper inquiry in court. The magistrate offered the thieves a reduced sentence in exchange for the secrets as to how they were not affected by the plague. The thieves accepted the deal and told the court of their herbal knowledge and the powerful medicinal properties of oils when combined in certain ways. Their formula was highly effective in killing airborne bacteria. They described different ways to work with the oil. Thieves blend is truly antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-infectious. This miraculous combination of essential oils stimulates the immune system, circulation, and respiratory system, and helps to protect against the flu, colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, sore throats, cuts, and more. Traditionally, the original Thieves oil formula consists of these five essential oils: Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary.

1. Apply a drop of Thieves Oil to the nape of the neck before leaving your home, or before entering a public space or area of possible contagion. The nape of the neck controls the entire neurological system and by putting the Thieves oil here you are allowing it to be absorbed by the entire body. (If you happen to have an extremely concentrated formula, you may need to mix it with a carrier oil before application to avoid stinging.)

2. Before leaving your home, or before entering a public space of area of possible contagion, apply a drop of Thieves Oil to the soles of the bottom of the feet and also put it on the Kidney 1 point. The Kidney 1 point is known in acupuncture to be a major energy vortex that has the ability to revitalize body, mind and spirit. It can be activated with acupuncture, acupressure, herbal plasters, exercise and even floral essences. It is located on the sole of the foot, about 1/3 of the way from the base of the second toe and 2/3 of the way up from the bottom of the foot between the second and third metatarsals.

3. Preventing the Spread of Airborne Illnesses in Your Home or Office with Thieves Oil Apply several drops of Thieves Oil to the water of a diffuser that is suitable for essential oils. Keep it going 24 hours a day if possible. This infuses the air with the Thieves Oil and makes it less likely to catch something from people who may be around you who are sick. It is ideal to have in your office or in your home when you want to avoid catching something.

4. Protecting Children with Thieves Oil In addition to using the diffuser with Thieves Oil in the environment that your children live and play in, you may also add a drop to their feet before sending them to school or a place where they are vulnerable to catching something. You may also place a drop under their pillow for extra protection.

 

Health Tool #7
Develop a Daily Habit of Taking Swedish Bitters to Support Digestion

In ancient times when faced with health challenges, people used to rely upon Swedish Bitters. There is an old saying that the best, most effective medicine is often bitter. When nature heals people, it is through bitter remedies. By taking bitters and developing blood that is slightly bitter, you can enjoy a sweeter life, and even the mosquitoes will not like you. Bitter substances have the ability to improve kidney and liver function, improve bile, reduce bloating and flatulence, improve metabolism, and prevent acidification of the body. It is said that there is hardly any illness where Swedish bitters is not of benefit.

History of the Swedish Bitters Elixir 
The original Swedish Bitters formula can be traced down to Paracelsus, a Swiss Renaissance physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer and general occultist. Some people believe that it even goes back to ancient Babylon and Egypt. In the 18th Century, Jonathan Samst, a Swedish doctor, blended the mixture of herbs that we now known as Swedish Bitters. It was forgotten about until the 20th century when an Austrian botanist named Maria Treben reintroduced it. In fact, Treben used traditional German/Eastern European remedies handed down by previous generations to treat a broad range of conditions. Swedish Bitters is a mixture of 11 herbs with Angelica root being the most important component. Others include Aloe (can be substituted with Wormwood), myrrh, saffron, senna leaves, camphor, rhubarb roots, manna, theriac venezian, carline thistle roots and zedoary roots. It also contains essential oils.

Benefits

• Helps in recovering from infectious diseases
• Encourages the elimination of toxins and tonifies and regenerates the body
• Promotes biliary, pancreatic and gastric secretion
• Disinfects the intestinal tract and soothes the digestive tract
• Relieves bloating, flatulence, gas, cramps and nausea
• It can act as a gentle laxative
• Restores natural acid balance in the stomach
• Purifies, disinfects and stimulates circulation
• Expels tapeworms
• Helps in the trembling of hands and feet
• Embellishes the human body

Directions

1. Take one teaspoon in the morning on an empty stomach in a small glass of water and in the evening about 30 minutes after dinner. If this causes diarrhea, reduce to one teaspoon per day, and then gradually increase to 2 teaspoons per day.

2. In the case of having contracted an infectious disease, Swedish Bitter drops can be taken repeatedly (as indicated on bottle or by your physician) as they heal boils and swelling.

German Bitter Tea has similar benefits and is available here.

Caution: If the bitter taste is unbearable, you can dilute Swedish Bitters in warm water, but ideally, it's best taken alone. Adhering strictly to the recommended dose is unlikely to produce any side effects. Swedish Bitters are not recommended for pregnant women, nursing women, children under 12 and in the case of ulcers. Do not use it if you are experiencing abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting, or if you have diarrhea. Some tinctures of Swedish Bitters contains alcohol as a preservative so people in recovery should check ingredients before using.

Protective Mantras for these Complex Times

As we mentioned before, Taurus affects the neck, throat and larynx. Although silent meditation may be good, vibrating Naam is indicated because it directly affects the larynx in order to stabilize and support Taurus and deflect the destructive influence of Uranus. The Bij mantra RAM, which represents the joy that comes from Divine Love, is the seed sound which overcomes the negative vibration Uranus. That is why, from now on until 2026, RAM must be a part of your daily meditation practice. It will open your Soul to Divine Power so that you have the strength to overcome any challenge. Present in all of us, the seed of RAM lies dormant for many lifetimes, only sprouting when we vibrate it, and allow the soul to introduce us to our Higher Self and create enhanced self-awareness. RAM stands for our Soul, or our consciousness, and is symbolic of the inner fire that, when activated, burns away all physical, mental and spiritual impurities. RAM destroys the karmic walls that have long kept us separated from the Creator, thereby becoming a guardian angel that brings rhythm, harmony and equilibrium to our body and mind, and serenity and joy to our life. RAM will help you build a strong, magnetic quality, with its accompanying vital aura. It attracts the creativity and blessings of the magnetic field of the entire Universe, thereby protecting our magnetic field and bringing our original self out from the shadows. Use the mantra RAM so that it can cut through the vibration of Uranus and allow you to face this storm peacefully, and give others permission to do the same. Vibrate Triple Mantra which acts like an indestructible fort so as to protect and fortify you. Upon waking listen to or recite the “Divine Mind” Metaphysical Formula to synchronize your energy with the creative and beneficial forces of nature. There is a pattern of protection embedded within the structure of this daily metaphysical formula. Make RAM, along with Triple Mantra and the Divine Mind Metaphysical Formula, the foundation of your day, so that you may walk through these unpredictable and complex times with positivity, balance and purity. Both Triple Mantra and Protective Guru Ram Das are included as part of the 2020 Meditation Practice. You can also work with Soulful Ram (Naam Transformation album) or RaMa Ram (Naam Mala Meditation album).

Naam Meditation to Develop Strong Lungs
Work with the Revitalizing Sat Nam Wahe Guru mantra (from the Rootlight album Pranic Power), or with the Wahe Guru Power mantra (from the Rootlight album Naam Infinitum) to develop your lungs, using the Lung mudra. In both of these meditations, you are conditioning yourself to be able to breathe longer and more slowly, by vibrating the mantras 7X on your exhale. It is a yogic belief that the body is stronger when it is exhaling. When it comes to preventing disease, if you cannot inhale, hold your breath, or exhale for 20 seconds, your lungs are not in good shape. Breathing and vibrating Naam with either of these tracks, is an excellent way to make your lungs healthy and prevent disease from taking hold in the body. Children can also practice these meditations. Lung Mudra: The left palm is near the belly (not touching the body). The right hand/palm is in front of the left hand. With the hands like this, simply touch the pinky tips together and the thumbs together.

Keep your Body Fit and Healthy with Regular Exercise

For those who can no longer go to the gym to work out, the Naam 5 Practice is a full body workout you can do anytime, anywhere to strengthen and tone your body. Regarding yoga, there is no other practice that works as efficiently in addressing the entire human body, from our head to our toes, like Sukshma Vyayama. It will heal you in ways that you cannot even dream of. It is important to address every part of your body. As the old adage goes, you lose what you don't use.

 

Health Tool #10 
Draw Impurities out of the Body with an Evening Sea Salt Foot Bath

At night it can be very helpful to prevent disease, or for a faster recovery from an illness, to soak the feet in a hot water foot bath that has sea salt and Eucalyptus oil in it (the water should be as hot as you can tolerate without burning yourself). Not only is this a calming practice that promotes deep restful sleep, sea salt is known to draw poisons and impurities out of the body. If you can do this three nights in a row, it will be extremely effective, but even once is nice. Children may also take this foot bath, but the water should not be as hot. When using a foot bath bucket add 3 drops of Eucalyptus oil and an additional 3 drops of Lavender oil in case you need help sleeping or relaxing. When you need to take your foot bath in the bath tub increase the Eucalyptus oil and the optional Lavender oil to 6 drops.

Precaution: Please do not use Epsom Salts, use sea salt only.

 

1. Dhan Dhan Ram Das Gur for Miracles - Creates the platform for miracles. It will make the impossible possible and cause Grace to come through for you.
2. Ra Ma Da Sa Adagio - This mantra is like a rare diamond, which connects you with the pure healing energy of the universe. This particular Rootlight recording was used in a Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center research study shown to reduce pain in children undergoing cancer treatment.
3. Hari Ohm Transformation - Fights all disease and neutralizes all planetary and astrological disturbances. Due to the influence of Uranus, it is a good mantra to work with during the next 7 years. 

All three tracks are available as part of the Healing Formula album which you can find here. You and your loved ones can also play the Healing Formula compilation on low throughout the home.

Hu (Optional) - It is recommended to work with the sacred sound HU for its distinct ability to remove anxiety, fear and worry. It especially recommended for achieving a restful and restorative night's sleep. You can meditate along with a recording of HU, also available for download here, before bed to put yourself in a calm, peaceful state of being.

You may draw your inspiration from this simple practice, performing it anytime of the day, shaping it to your liking, and adding any other elements you may deem necessary. 

During this time, while we may be physically separated, we can use the positive aspect of Uranus to stay connected online via social media and through technology. 

 

Safety & Hygiene Measures for Daily Life

 

1. Creating a Protective Home Environment 

• From time to time diffuse Thieves Oil in your home. Do not overdo it.
• When you can, play Naam in your home on very low, almost inaudible volume to create a divine atmosphere. When you are in need of healing play The Healing Formula on very low volume.
• Once in a while purify your home with the Precious Mystical Formula to keep negative energy at bay.
• Do not let anyone in your home who does not have an essential reason to be there.
• If someone does have to enter, have them leave their shoes and outerwear outside. Sanitize their hands and have them wear a mask and gloves which they can take with them.
• Sanitize any surfaces they may have touched.
• If possible, before entering your home, take off your shoes and outer layers, especially if you were in a high-contact area.
• Play a leading role to stop the spread of COVID-19 by preparing yourself mentally and physically to remain at home when possible.  Self-quarantine has proved immensely helpful in the spread of past viruses.
• After you have completed a trip outside disinfect your gloves.  Use disinfectant wipes on your cell phone, keys, credit cards, wallet, or anything you may have used during your trip before getting back in your car or entering your home. Remove your gloves by pulling them off, turning them inside out and discarding them. 
• When entering your home, wash your hands right away with warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds. Click to see a short video on a safe and effective method for washing your hands.
• Wash your hands regularly in your home, especially before and after meals.
• Clean and disinfect your home regularly, especially communal touch areas such as doorknobs and handles etc.
• A home-made disinfecting solution can be made from water and bleach using a 10:1 ratio. Keep it in a marked bottle, away from children and use it for up to 24 hours and discard it thereafter.
• Wash clothes, bedding, and towels frequently.

2. Supply Guidelines 

• Make a list of products you use regularly, including any prescription medications, and order a two-month supply now for home delivery if possible.
• Procure supplies that would be helpful if you become sick, such as fever reducers, cold medications, electrolyte replacements, etc.
• Anticipate shortages and delays both in stores and via e-commerce.
• Shop for two weeks-worth of groceries at a time to reduce the number of times you go to the store.
• Use order-ahead and pick-up options when available.

3. Going Out

• If you must go out wear gloves, a mask, long sleeves and pants. Everyone, when going out should wear a face mask. This virus is spread through droplets and aerosols. Contact can be minimized through face masks. People can carry the virus and not know it, so everyone should wear a mask to protect themselves and each other.
• Bring antiviral hand sanitizer and wipes with you. Wipe down the cart and wear gloves. Do not touch items at the store besides those you purchase. Ask the sales-clerk to sanitize their hands before double-bagging your items and exchanging payment.
• Avoid cash transactions if possible. Use credit card or apps when possible to pay for everything.
• Only leave your home when absolutely necessary or for exercise on private property in case accessible.
• Avoid public transportation.
• Practice good physical distancing of at least 6 feet or 1.5 meters.
• Do not touch shared surfaces when possible.
• When in public, sip on hot water every 10-15 minutes in a conscious way that does not cross contaminate surfaces of cups to mouth.

4. Accepting Deliveries

• Prevent the introduction of viruses into your protective environment as follows:
• • Have all deliveries of food, drugs, supplies and alike, dropped off outside your door, without any contact with the delivery person.
• Do not bring any exterior packaging into your home.
• Before you begin to open the exterior package outside your home, put on gloves and disinfect the package.
• If the contents of the package are likely to have been touched by others, use disinfectant spray or wipes to disinfect the contents.
• For fresh fruit and vegetables, wash them immediately in warm soapy water.
• For prepared hot foods that are ready to be eaten, put them into the oven to increase the heat.
• After processing your delivery, remove your gloves and dispose of them. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Use disinfectant spray or wipes on doorknobs, doorbells, and alike surfaces, after the delivery.
• Avoid dry cleaning as much as possible as there is a risk of contamination.

5. Serving Others

• Support those who need help in a safe way. 
• Be mindful of those struggling and let the proper authorities know if someone needs help.
