Healthy Eating Habits – The Ayurvedic Way

Mind-body healing of Dengue

Fever is caused due to a latent fear of some kind! 

All of us are at any given time are dealing with one or more fears that nag us. This is a good time to do some introspection as to what those fears are.

Body ache on the other hand especially the joints in your hands and feet are indicative of a fear of movement.

But why do some of us get effected by Dengue fever while others stays healthy?

My reason for that is that some of us in our mind-body state are more vulnerable than others. Therefore, if we, at an energy level are at a dis-ease with our thoughts of fear and movement we are naturally more susceptible to the disease.

Healing Dengue with Thoughts and Affirmations

So let’s begin with ourselves!

On a mind-body level as a treatment of Dengue fever virus let’s heal out thoughts first.

Every time you get a negative thought rooted in fear specifically of movement, you must replace the negative thought with a positive one.

For example, if we have had a fight with a close friend and though we love her to death do not want to take the step to make up due to a fear of rejection. Thus, tell yourself that you are going to her today and makeup. Change fear and stillness to love and life. This is just one example for you to understand the problem and its solution.

Let’s change fear to love and abundance in every thought that will bring up our energy levels circulation and platelet count will improve.

Affirmations to CURE Dengue Fever:

“The medicine and food we are eating and drinking is all helping us recover from the dis-ease to a position of ease love n light.”

“The good cells in our body are fighting the negative energies within and that the negative energies have returned to their source as love and light.”

Dengue and community energy level

I for one would like to do something about the environment around me. I’m more than sure that the Aedes mosquito does not breed much in the water coolers at home. It breeds mostly in the open gutters that run outside, and the heaps of garbage that line the streets of our city, market places and neighborhood garbage dumps.

We need to be more aware of our surroundings. Therefore, do not litter and clean up the garbage, dirt and filth that surrounds us. Clean up our environment and the energies will change for the better to a cleaner purer, greener surrounding filled with positive energies.

Affirmations to counter Dengue Fever

Let’s first put ourselves in protection by affirming: 

“We are protected from all energies that cause the dengue.”

“Our family is protected and our surroundings are clean and protected.”

“The places we visit offices schools are safe an protected as well.”

“Those around us are practicing cleanliness and hygiene and cleaning their surroundings of any garbage and waste and freeing the surrounding of negative energies and diseases.”
