Stuff happens! Real bad stuff… And this is when we are called to be the best version of ourselves. But sometimes things are so bad we can’t even muster the mental energy, or the emotional stamina. No matter how hard we try. Does this mean we should we give up? That’s never the answer as we know. But anyways, howdo you develop resilience? How do you get more “heart power” so that you don’t give up? There’s as many answers to that question as there are people on earth – all equally great! But perhaps the best answer right now is Ayurveda’s timeless wisdom. Sometimes, all you need is the mental clarity that only an ancient divine herb such as Ashwagandha can bestow; the heart-opening powerful boost from a mythical yet ever so real Ashoka plant. It’s what you know you can trust.

AND remember to stay on top of your routine to maximize immunity and emotional strenght: eat and sleep on time – don’t skip or delay meals. Don’t stay up after 9:45pm. Cook fresh meals and avoid left-overs. Practice “surrender:” when you are feeling down and out, sad and anxious, about the future, about the world, about anything. And: don’t try to figure it out or control it; instead, let it go, take a deep breathe, and with your exhale surrender all your worries and fears to that “knowingness” within you, that awaits your call and beckon show you the way.

4.Zinc Bhasma glyceride drops.
Another way to stop the COVID-19 in its tracks is by using Zinc. If you google the benefits of Zinc one of the first things that comes up is that is modulates the immune system. You will find many scholarly articles on Zinc and its antiviral properties.
Journal of Virology (American Association of Microbiology) states “the requirement for zinc ions for the antiviral activity is further substantiated. Therefore, an increase in intracellular zinc levels provides the basis for a new antipicornavirus mechanism.”
An easy to assimilate Zinc products are the “bhasmas”
Sinus Support: discourages bacterial growth and support your sinus cavity when inhaled. Spray it on a scarf and gently inhale. Keep away from your eyes.
Sanitize and prevent infection: apply on your toe and finger nails after clipping them to ward off the chance of infections;
Anti-bacterial air-freshener: spray it in your room – on your couch, pillows, carpet, desk, or just in the air. All the ingredients in this formula help remove bad odors through their “krimigni” or anti-bacterial properties. You can also use with it with an essential oil diffuser.
Uplift and pacify the mind: Tribindu pacifies Vata dosha through its thermogenic properties and support kapha dosha by improving circulation – it’s your best friend in the winter time and in cold weather; and when you are feeling vata-ed out or stuck and stiff!
Ward off mold and fungus: through its potent bactericidal properties this formula can be used in area where there is mold and fungus growth. Spray on directly (carpets, upholstery; drawers; nooks and crannies!) – 2-3 times a day.
CAUTION: if you inadvertently get the spray in your eyes, rinse with cool/cold water and it will wash off easily and immediately.
As the situation worsens with more cases detected nationwide, we need not panic. There are many things you can do to prevent infection. Did you know that pathologists who have been studying Corona viruses for decades say that these viruses can be killed by zinc?
In SV Ayurveda, we use zinc bhasmas which are meticulously prepared metallic zinc processed through various calcinations, as depicted in this article, into a nanoparticle. This resultant nanoparticle is an extremely small particle which can enter the cell much easier than its unprocessed large heavy metallic zinc.
Known as “Yasad Bhasma” this zinc nanoparticle has been shown to be highly effective in treating the various forms of Corona viruses.
We have two strengths, and are in the process of stockpiling them for the expected epidemic coming our way.
Add 5 drops to a glass of room temperature spring water and stir. For added potency, add 5 drops of Boswellia Nectar Drops. Stir well and either sip on it slowly throughout the day or drink it down immediately.
We use the zinc primarily in adults but may use it in some children who have weak immune systems but in different dosage.
Read the article HERE which shows all the steps involved in processing the zinc so it is more biologically available and thus more active in your cells.
In our session yesterday March 26, we covered the Facial and Eye Marma protocols, and practiced online; we enjoyed chanting the “beauty sutra” with Vaidya, and the “Prana Mantra.” A big “thank you” to our SVA instructors from the USA and Canada for making this online portion of the course so special and so powerful. More next week.
