Right now with COVID-19, but in general every time you are facing challenging times, I recommend to actively work on certain tasks to boost your state of being. Remember the mind-body connection! In short, your immunity is connected with your mental health as well as your gut. So, listen deeply to your body.
Trust the process that you’re in and divert fearful thoughts into compassionate ones.
I put together a 5 easy steps about this topic. Those are basically ideas on what you can do to optimize your immune system and your state of being. Read on and tell me what you think…
Reduce Stress
Certainly, it might be easier said than done in these extraordinary times, but try to stay positive, find hope, forgiveness and gratitude. Your mindset is important right now. Chronic stress can lead to depression, anxiety, memory problems, and sleep issues. Stress makes it harder for your body to resist germs and viruses so here are 9 ways to lower your stress.

Treat Yourself Right
Above all, self care and self love are the the most important things to attend to at the moment. Sit in your yard or on your balcony and enjoy a few minutes of sun & relaxation. You deserve it!! Or how about soaking in a tub with Epsom Salt? The wonders of Epsom Salt have been well-known for hundreds of years. In fact, with this everlasting remedy, several health issues and symptoms can be relieved, including colds & congestion. It’s fabulous for soothing aching limbs and relaxing your nervous system.

Stay Hydrated
Because we live in Colorado, staying hydrated should be standard practice, but this is an easy way to boost your state of being! Good performance, clarity of thinking and proper mind/body function all depend greatly on our water intake. Without adequate amounts of pure water in the body, the electrical system is impaired. In other words, the lymph system and organ function is not optimal.

Practice Mindful Breathing
With mindful breathing through diaphragmatic breathing, you can help reduce stress and anxiety. As a consequence, your heart rate will be lower and your blood pressure will decrease. You may also notice an increased stamina for intense exercise, improved sleep, better posture and many other benefits.

Use Your Essential Oils to Boost Your State of Being
Furthermore, I highly recommend using essential oils to boost your state of being. Essential oils come directly from plant parts and are very powerful. We know that some are immunity boosting and supporting, however, others are great for mental/emotional ease. Email me if you’d like me to put together a specific kit for your personal needs.

Far Infrared Sauna Therapy Improves Mental Health & Cognitive Function
Sauna use has been shown to benefit depression and anxiety and even to affect the risk of psychotic disorders and toxin-induced psychosis. It improves blood flow to the brain and increases mental alertness and performance on mental tasks. It improves symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome in subjects. It improves sleep and promotes normal sleep/wake-sleep cycles.
Let me emphasize that if you want to discover the benefits of natural health, be sure to Book Your Appointment. You can also contact us at Heavenly Embrace Wellness to learn more about the incredible healing effects of essential oils.
