Virtual Vitamins are the digital counterpart to the vitamins we ingest with our food as supplements.

Here are 3 steps to ensure you are taking your virtual vitamins daily:

You’ll be amazed when you delete some accounts, how other accounts that you are aligned with will suddenly come to the forefront.

The mind is a powerful tool and it can also be used as a weapon against you. The TV with the news, and the Internet with social media can be powerful nocebo dosing machines.

You’ve heard of the placebo effect from the Latin: I shall be pleasing or acceptable—when a person feels better from a drug or treatment that doesn’t have any pharmacological or physiological properties, whether they’re aware it’s a placebo or not. The nocebo effect happens in reverse.

Ever wonder why we aren’t seeing tolls of people recovering from Covid-19 on the news? Instead we are constantly hearing and seeing the death tolls posted daily as we watch the news. This is all to create a fear vibration in our psychology that directly impacts our immune system negatively.

Here are 5 tips on how to best use this time and stay on top during quarantine:

1. Nature - Nature naturally lifts the mood with Vitamin D mood boosting properties. It has the power to heal and restore us to balance. Nature is composed of four main elements, air (oxygen in the lungs), fire (heat from the sun), water (60% circulating within us) and earth (the soil beneath us and in our bones). Even if you go for a short walk or sit down doing nothing else but let the sun rays hit your face - you can benefit. This is because being in nature reduces anger, fear, and stress while increasing pleasant feelings. In addition, being outside in nature contributes to your physical wellbeing by reducing your blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. So what are you waiting for? Go get some sun charge in your day!

2. Feng Shui - Home should be a healing center, a sanctuary. By doing this, we become our own healers. When you feel stuck, moving the energy around your home, car, and work space will help get your own energy flowing so you can feel the vital qi, the circulation in your space. Cleaning, decluttering, rearranging your living space will help change the flow of energy and bring new perspective and abundance. The literal translation of “feng” means wind and “shui” means water. In Chinese culture, wind and water are both associated with good health. Good health is what we all need right now during this time of crisis. Burning sage is another great alkhemy tool used for transforming the energy around you.

Turmeric makes a great beverage!

I promise you once you have this warm, delicious, and healthy beverage called Golden Milk, you will become hooked like me.

Curcumin (Curcuma longa - Haldi) is the key healing compound found in turmeric that makes the spice so healthy for us. It is a very powerful antioxidant, and holds a high place in Ayurvedic medicine as being a “cleanser of the body”.

Now more than ever, is the time to boost your immune system and give your body its best chance to fight off any disease that may try to enter your system. Many chronic diseases today can be attributed to systemic inflammation. Inflammation, a localized physical condition in which part of the body becomes red, swollen, hot, and painful, is a reaction to injury or infection. To help resist COVID-19, the flu, a cold, and any other virus, here’s what you need to know about Turmeric:

1. Turmeric is both spiritual AND medicinal. Turmeric is used in Indian rites and rituals. In the Ayurvedic tradition, which comes from the culture in India and some parts of the Middle East, people eat turmeric at every single meal and mix it with red pepper to magnify its properties. It is a spice that has been around for 5,000 years, native to India, and cultivated throughout the tropics. Turmeric is a sterile plant that does not produce any seeds, and grows from 3 to 5 feet tall with dull but pretty yellow flowers. 

Have you heard about the Shirleys in Wuhan, China? Probably not. They are a family of four sharing strategies that are helping them thrive during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Here are their tips:

1. They limit their travel, staying home all day everyday. When they do go out they practice social distancing and wear a surgical mask.

2. They beefed up their immune system. Remembering a recipe from Jamaica they make a brew with nutrient-dense ingredients including: ginger, honey, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and sour oranges. Sounds familiar right? Yes, Fire Cider!

3. They practice good hygiene. They each wash their hands frequently throughout the day, and they avoid touching their faces as much as possible.

4. They play tons of games! Dominos is their favorite and it brings them a lot of joy during this time of uncertainty.

5. They laugh together all day long! The Shirleys are laughing a lot because laughter is free, fun, easy to use, strong medicine. It draws people together in ways that trigger healthy physical and emotional changes in the body. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and protects you from the damaging effects of stress. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hope, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert. With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is an abundant resource for surmounting problems.
