Whenever there’s something infectious “going around,”
\nit seems many of us find ourselves fearful of
\n“catching” it, and all too often are ready to blame
\nthose who exposed us to it.<\/p>\n
You’ve probably found yourself at one time or another
\nblaming a co-worker for coming to work with a drippy,
\nsneezy cold, or a parent for allowing an infectious
\nchild to attend school, church, or a public event.<\/p>\n
With the uncontained Ebola epidemic blazing in parts of
\nAfrica, there are those who now fear any place where
\nthose with undiagnosed infection may be spreading
\nit–and feel fear and anger toward those who “should”
\nremain someplace else.<\/p>\n
Avoiding exposure is smart, but this attitude focuses
\nonly on part of the equation. It misses the other
\nessential component to the spread of illness to you.<\/p>\n
That essential component is susceptibility.<\/p>\n
Most people think of susceptibility as a weak immune
\nsystem. But the primary component is actually your
\nenergetic\/vibrational predisposition–which, by the
\nway, determines the strength of your immune system.<\/p>\n
This is where the Science of Being Well, and the law of
\nattraction, come in.<\/p>\n
It’s where you have the ultimate power to create your
\nown reality–one of happy, vibrant health, or one of
\nfear, blame, and sickness.<\/p>\n
In order for infectious illness of any sort to take
\nhold in your body, there must exist an
\nenergetic\/vibrational gap between your joyful,
\nexpanded, confident true self and the self you’re being
\nduring the period of exposure.<\/p>\n
By “the self you’re being,” I mean the worried,
\nfearful, irritated, angry, conflicted, overwhelmed, or
\nstressed self that all of us slip into being from time
\nto time.<\/p>\n
If you’re in one of those states when you encounter
\ngerms, your likelihood of becoming ill are much higher
\nthan when you’re peaceful, blissful, happy.<\/p>\n
Of course, you can’t stop being that stressed self by
\nrejecting it or by rejecting the thoughts or feelings
\nthat are part of it. Anything you put your attention on
\njust grows stronger in your experience.<\/p>\n
You’ve got to put your attention on its opposite, and
\nsomething that to you has even more power than what you
\nwant to reject.<\/p>\n
Probably the easiest metaphor I can use is the image of
\ndarkness as representing fear and negativity, and light
\nas the opposite. So the way to protect yourself from
\neverything from germs to poverty to whatever upsets you
\nis to turn your attention from those topics and toward
\nlight. <\/p>\n
In this example, light represents not only a visual
\nimage, but whatever to you represents the highest, most
\nloving, most beautiful, most fulfilling feeling you’ve
\never experienced.<\/p>\n
Imagining filling yourself with this light, and doing
\neverything and anything to elevate yourself to this
\nfeeling is the best defense against whatever you
\nperceive as unwanted.<\/p>\n
That includes Ebola.<\/p>\n
