One Sure-Fire Way To Prevent The Swine Flu

Is there enough vaccine to prevent and stop the
swine flu (H1N1) or an epidemic in the future? Right now the
pharmaceutical heaven is wavering! So how can we keep it from spreading? By learning from history and our experiences with the Spanish Flu and addressing what the swine flu has come to teach our world. Learning from the wisdom of history is a great tool, and if a
pandemic comes along in the future, we will be ahead of the game.
The
Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 was possibly the most devastating epidemic in recorded history, and especially deadly for those between 20 and 40 years of age. Why were people in their prime more vulnerable than others?
Let's look at happenings in the world at the time. In the fall of 1918,
World War I was winding down in Europe. The young people fighting in the war endured extremely brutal conditions, leading to feelings of futility. Almost by definition, we know that war generates hate and intolerance. It weakens our common bond as fellow human beings-a bond that provides the foundation of life on this planet. Yet war results in the loss of fathers, mothers, children, family members, and friends, and the smashing of that bond. The enormity of the loss in WW I set the framework for a huge hopeless, helpless feeling among the populace and especially among those young people involved. Devastated, people couldn't find a solution to the massive horrors they experienced. This conflicted mightily with what
humans have been born to learn-living lives of unconditional love.
What's Really Wrong?Hate, intolerance, and loss from this era may have spread exponentially throughout generations, allowing feelings of injustice or victimhood to become embedded in our collective cells. On a physical level, hate and intolerance weaken the heart chakra and lungs. So when we live through wars and devastating events such as 9/11, an individual body's cell memory can react to the "victimhood" set up and elicit hopeless, helpless feelings. In turn, these feelings may cause respiratory weaknesses that collapse the immune system and allow a virus to attack.
In part, swine flu might attack people in their prime because of the situation currently embracing our world. We're still at war, the economy is a mess, and millions have lost half or more of their savings and retirement funds. Are these negative events breeding hate, intolerance, feelings of loss, and powerlessness?
Perhaps swine flu is a gift also because, as a society, we have chosen to rely on medication instead of learning to cope with health issues in self-contained ways. We've become a population that hasn't been taught to cope with life's problems, a situation handed down from generation to generation with no fault or blame attached.
A standard way for helping people who feel hopeless and helpless has been to put them on antidepressants-the second largest class of prescription drugs, exceeded only by heart medication. Out of a population of 300 million... "overall use of antidepressants continues to grow, with nearly 190 million prescriptions dispersed in the
United States last year, according to IMS Health, a
health care information company." (Reported by Melissa McNamara in
CBS Evening News on December 13, 2006 in her piece, "A Look at Antidepressants.")
How do antidepressants work? They increase the serotonin level in the brain, creating a false sense of joy or ability to cope. Antidepressants are necessary for some but if the underlying problem is also addressed there is a better chance of healing.
Similarly, learning to cope creates a support that can release natural serotonin so we feel naturally happy and joyful. Then the hopeless, helpless feeling disappears. Fine-tuning our coping skills helps us to take control and feel happy so that we can manage our lives well. We gain a sense of strength and confidence when we know we have choices and don't feel trapped. This creates a strong immune system that can more easily ward off viruses. The energy of feeling happy is more powerful than food or drugs.
If there is another pandemic flu virus, it will be because, as a society, we have never addressed the underlying cause of any condition or
disease. Masking diseases and conditions with medications has been a dangerous solution. Today, due to an absence of a swine flu vaccine, we're forced to look at flu in a new way and address the underlying cause-futility and hopeless, helpless feelings.
How Does This Apply to Disease of All Kinds?At the base of every disease, not only flu, is a situation that weakens a person's immune system. This could stem from a difficult circumstance at work or home, a troublesome situation with children, loss of a loved through death, divorce or a breakup, severe financial difficulties. If we examine what went on before the onset of disease, it can usually be linked to something that disturbed or stressed us. When the stress gets too great, one thing tends to put us "over the top." That's when the immune system collapses.
As an example, Bill decides he has to stay stuck in a hated job so he can pay family bills. His "stuckness" triggers feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. Over time, this situation builds resentment and anger. Then an adverse event happens-he loses his parents-and the grief he feels puts him "over the top." His immune system gets compromised.
What could Bill do to avoid contracting a disease? Having an awareness that a situation like this could compromise his health, Bill could proactively identify and seek several options. Doing this shows he believes that a solution exists for every situation. Because of that belief, he doesn't allow himself to sink into a hopeless, helpless state.
One solution could be seeking professional help such as life coaching or therapeutic counseling to assist him in moving forward in life. The process could help him find a greater purpose or passion in his work. In that way, he could draw a fresh roadmap to help him manifest exactly what he desires.
Another option is using the MO Technique that, in effect, reprograms the subconscious, super conscious, and conscious minds. This technique first gets him to release any "stuckness" out of his subconscious mind so he can move forward. How does he do that? By imaging his feelings of stuckness, locating negative energy in his body related to feeling stuck, and releasing that energy out of the area where it hangs out. Then he would reprogram his super conscious mind by looking at and accepting options that come from his higher self. He replaces all the negative energy he's identified with positive energy and "instills" it into his body. How can he reprogram his conscious mind to accomplish this? By repeating an appropriate affirmation for 40 days. His affirmation might be something like this: "From this moment forward, I make all decisions based on knowing that I'm moving forward in life with ease. All doors are now open for manifesting the future I desire."
Reprogramming all three minds makes lasting change possible. And by increasing his awareness, Bill might see doors open for a new job that he hadn't noticed before. Even if he needs to stay in his job, he can now regard it with a new perspective-one that could give him greater satisfaction than ever before.
Let's say your seven-year-old daughter Mollie comes down with the flu. As a parent, you have the knowledge that the flu is caused by a situation that has led to a hopeless, helpless feeling. Your first question to Mollie is, "Honey, is there something going on at school or at home that's bothering you?" She replies, "The kids make fun of me all the time." This may be really taking place, or happening only in her mind, but both are genuine in Mollie's experience.
You've just found out what's causing these feelings for Mollie and discuss choices with her. She could talk to the teacher, make friends individually, or other possibilities. You then assure Mollie the situation can be resolved. From this experience, she learns how she can feel hopeful by finding a viable, healthy solution to her problem.
Let's follow the same pattern assuming you have the swine flu (or any disease). What do you do? You examine the situation and determine what's going on that may have been causing feelings of resentment or powerlessness or anger/rage or hopelessness/helplessness. If you've faced emotional setbacks before, you may already know of ways to release the powerlessness, anger/rage out of the body. That's what you want.
The approach I teach and use is called the MO Technique because it's based on a person's modus operandi or internal programming. Using the MO Technique lets you learn to instill self-love in your body, which helps you manifest and reinforce the changes you want to make.
How can you find your MO or modus operandi? By becoming aware of and studying your lifelong programming-that is, the way you usually show up in life. That programming has actually set you up for a specific mode of operating in the world from birth. As you progress through life, you may realize you have soul discoveries to uncover. The truth is, you've signed up to learn from them in this lifetime.
My book Wisdom to Wellness: Healing Your Emotional Sufferings So The Physical Healing Can Follow discusses 20 diseases related to the MO of the individual who has one or more of these diseases. Each disease brings with it a soul discovery. Your MO, combined with what your soul came to learn, determines the risk you have for contracting a certain disease.
Learning about emotional root causes of specific diseases helps you see how you have been programmed. For example, those who develop Multiple Sclerosis likely share a common modus operandi that's reflected in a "I have to" way of thinking. The "have to" belief gets programmed at a young age and becomes an MO throughout life. This pattern sets up rigidity and tissue hardening of the brain and spinal column. Not surprisingly, at the end stages of MS, the hardened thought process results in a highly rigid body. The soul discovery or lesson to be learned is about becoming free and flexible, living in the moment, and feeling one's emotions more deeply.
In my client work, I've found that using the MO Technique can increase a MS person's flexibility and ease of flow with life, realizing that nothing is an absolute "have to." Changing programming and understanding what soul discoveries teach can actually prevent disease as well as help overcome it.
Is Swine Flu a Wakeup Call for Humanity? Traumatic situations can set up powerlessness, hopeless, helpless feelings, even rage and anger. Those who understand that a viable solution exists for every problem and have life skills to cope aren't as likely to get caught up in this problem as those who don't. In contrast, when people feel trapped with no solution in sight, many turn to antidepressants or other unhealthy solutions to cope.
Suppose swine flu invades the United States and the vaccine is not the answer. Fear sets in that lives will be lost, creating a massive feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. Look around. Many have reason to feel hopeless and helpless in numerous ways-the type of situation ripe for a superbug to invade.
Are we being set up for a perceived pending pandemic?
To learn from the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, we'd have to ask why it reached pandemic proportions. Remember, World War I engendered hate, intolerance, and loss on a gargantuan scale. Anything to do with intolerance and hate violates our collective purpose and may be lethal to our bodies. If we don't learn to replace these deadly feelings with unconditional love, we may be faced with something as devastating as a flu that's uncontrollable.
On 9/11/2001, terrorists struck New York's Twin Towers-buildings that represent power, money, and possibly even greed. Can we trace today's "bust" economy back to greed? The swine flu represents the pig, which could be interpreted as being piggy or greedy. This may sound far out, but the Universe keeps sending us messages, begging us to pick up on them and change our ways.
This grave lesson from greed, hate, and intolerance that sets up the hopeless, helpless feeling doesn't have to become an uncontrollable flu for us to get the lesson. People can learn to cope and gain control over their lives, choosing unconditional love instead of hate and intolerance. It will be the only way to create peace and harmony in the world.
How Do We Prevent a Pandemic?
Right now, we can take positive action. We can each determine our own modus operandi and learn to cope with life's demands, possibly seeking professional help. Our MO includes our programmed emotional beliefs and our emotional roots. We can release any hopeless, helpless feeling out of cellular memory using the powerful MO (Modus Operandi) Technique. Those who deal with depression can get the help they need to feel powerful again. Those who already know the Technique can help others learn to cope.
All problems have solutions without turning to drugs or vaccines. Building a system of support that addresses the underlying causes of disease will teach us not only to cope but to feel genuinely happy. This message is freedom from all viruses. Then we'd be able to create a much more powerful-and certainly healthier-nation and world.
