Using Subtle Elements to Clear Early Symptoms of Cold or Flu

You wake up with swollen lymph nodes and a slight sore throat. Sounds familiar with coming illness, but you have an important meeting today. Don’t despair – with subtle energy work, you may be able to shift symptoms before they fully develop.

A few days ago, I noticed swelling in my throat and sinus pain signaling an oncoming cold just as I had a flight coming up. I knew I had to act fast. Rather than resigning to being sick, I turned to the subtle elements fire and water.

I visualized subtle fire burning away any microbial invaders and subtle water flushing the area clean. The results were amazing – within hours, symptoms had noticeably reduced. Within 24 hours the swelling was gone, and I was good to go.

Subtle elements offer a gentle yet powerful way to support your immune response early.

Fire purifies while water soothes and cleanses. When used at the first signs of illness, you have a good chance of avoiding it fully, or shortening the duration.

Here are the basic steps I took:

1. Settle into yourself using becoming aware of body and breath.
2. Place your attention in the affected area (for me, throat and sinuses).
3. Invoke the subtle fire element to burn away any viruses, bacteria, or other pathogens. See the area filled with a warm, cleansing glow.
4. Bring in subtle water to flush the area clean. Visualize cool, flowing energies washing away debris.
5. Go to sleep.

Be sure to choose elements aligned with your individual constitution. Let me know if you have any other questions! Subtle energy work just may help you stay healthy when germs are lurking.
