Pardon this unusual newsletter - since people have been asking what I've been taking to assist me through the Covid process, I'm posting my protocol below, gathered from over a year of listening to doctors who have had success with treatments. Obviously, these are not to be seen as prescriptions of any kind - I'm just sharing what has worked for us.
As some of you know, last week, I referred to the fact that 2022 kicked off with a bang, in both good ways and ... not so fun ways as well.
On the one hand, there was participating in the sublime 7 Days of Rest and Sacred Renewal program, done while my husband and I drove from Massachusetts to Florida for the winter.
On the other hand, 48 hours after arriving, first my husband, and then I, came down with Covid. I know we're not unique as it seems Omicron is sweeping the nation in unprecedented ways right now.
In our family, the long-held concern has been how I would manage the illness, since I did not get the shot. I was doing really great until Days 6, 7 & 8 (today), when I developed Bronchitis and am really struggling with fever and energy. I'm on an antibiotic now and expect to feel a million times better very soon.
Days 6 - 8, seems to be the turning point: people either get dramatically sicker or much better at this juncture. My husband, who did get the shots, is doing great, thank goodness. Even with how lousy I feel, I'm grateful for all of it.
Grateful for Covid?
Although no one welcomes sickness, for me it will be worth it to eventually be released from the pent-up worry of friends and family members. And then there's the blessing that we've been forced to actually rest and renew, just like we talked about in the first week of the month. We're also grateful to feel the warm, moist breezes and watch the herons as we recuperate. And I've had lots of quiet time with my guy... all good stuff that will make me stronger in the long run.

Melatonin (3 - 5 mg)
In addition, I'm taking 1 Mucinex as an expectorant, 1 antihistamine (Zyrtec) to avoid an allergic reaction in my lungs (the potential hazard of Day 8), and Propolis cough drops, which are very soothing for the throat.
Fennel or Star Anise tea is recommended as well as citrus fruit - I eat an orange per day.
No caffeine.
I've been taking most of these supplements in lower doses since spring of 2020, so my body has had a chance to prepare should I get sick. With Covid, I doubled up on most of them and throughout the illness, my energy level has been good and I've been able to take an hour walk every day except the first two.
Additionally, I've used Young LivingOils in the following ways:
Heat a small pot of hot water into which sprinkle a few drops of Thieves, Peppermint, RC and Raven. Cover pot until steam rises, then carefully inhale the steam into the nose and lungs. It will be intense at first - close you eyes when doing this. Repeat several times a day.
Rub a few drops of RC and Raven directly onto chest several times a day. Breath in the oils deeply through the nose.
I recommend drinking Ningxia Red as a strong immune booster.
(For help in purchasing oils, please go to Cheri Hester's site HERE.)
In terms of appetite, I've noticed a significant fluctuation, with some days feeling hungry while other days I can barely get anything down. I haven't lost my taste or smell, thank goodness - I've read that low Zinc might be the culprit there. Bone broth and light foods have been the most successful for me throughout.
I continue to use my LifeWave patches as well.
Perhaps the most important medicine is to stay positive and fearless. The immune system is working very hard to regain equilibrium so it's a great opportunity to work in the quantum by seeing yourself as 100% whole and healed!
If you need extra encouragement, watch this brief recap about a compelling study Dr. Joe Dispenza has done regarding the positive effects of meditation on illness (click HERE). If you want to meditate, there are dozens of options in the Meditation Libraryto choose from. You can also listen to comforting music and watch "feel-good" shows to maintain an upbeat attitude.
Lastly, one of our own tribe, Lovie Harrison, shared Prune Harris's unique healing approach for Covid HERE. I highly recommend it!
Moving on, I'm excited to tell you about the incredible evening we had with our Infinite Wisdom guest, Dr. Jan Seward, last Wednesday.
She started out by sharing just one of her devastating life losses to explain how she's uniquely constituted to persevere in the face of hardship. From there, Jan drew us into the realm of divination, which she credits as a key to her survival.
As her divination knowledge grew from using the iChing into astrology, Jan explained why these particular tools not only spoke to her but also changed her life. She demonstrated the rare "hoarary" ("of the moment") astrology with one of the participants with stunning results! I think you will greatly enjoy this inspirational 1-hour presentation, which you can watch HERE.
Please note that Jan is offering our group a discounted reading rate of $88! Go HERE, then scroll down and enter WAVE when you book.
Phew! That's a lot for one newsletter but there's one last piece to share... During the Infinity Circle, I drew this card from Denise Linn's Gateway Oracle Deck for our tribe for 2022:
As one of our participants remarked, that's pretty much what we've been doing this whole time together! So, I guess we'll simply persevere and keep our light beacons a'dazzlin'! Hope to see you tomorrow night... till then, shine on and stay strong!
Much love and infinite blessings,
Hope
