Did you know that the first clear record of a Flu outbreak was in 1580?

This was also the the century that brought us the Spanish Inquisition, the Calvanist and Huguenot Reformation, the westward advance of Islam, Puritanism and all kinds of wars based on religious intolerance waged for political and economic gain.

It was the century of Machiavelli’s The Prince, Spanish Conquistador Francisco Pizarro – the eradicator of the Inca civilization, Henry the VIII and Martin Luther, who both defied the Catholic Church in their own ways. Then there was the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre which claimed over 10,000 lives over just a few short days. Yes, it was a special time, given to one of the most horrendous and far reaching outbreaks of religious intolerance on record.

So you might ask, “How is the flu related to religious intolerance and why should I care, even if it is?”

As a medical intuitive who uses kinesiology or muscle testing in my sessions with people, I have found over the years that the emotional energy of Influenza has always tested as either hatred, wrath or intolerance – coming from others. Newsweek has an interesting photo essay on the History of the Flu that you might like to check out.

I find the study of physical ills juxtaposed against social ills fascinating and think that it makes a lot of sense based on the kind of mass fear and paranoia that is so easily conjured up anytime anyone discusses the flu and being around other people.

Often times people I see who are sick themselves or discussing the Flu use the word “hate” or “afraid” to describe their experience.

“I hate being at work. I hate being at school. I’m afraid to be closed in with all those people. I’m afraid I’ll get sick and I hate being sick!”

Release the Binding Energy of Paranoia and Intolerance

I learned early on in my intuitive practice that intolerance or hatred is a binding energy. What I mean by that is when you “hate” something, your thoughts, your mindset and your energy gets very hard and constricted – not to mention your heart. The same goes for paranoia, however, simple fear is more of an immediate reaction – it usually comes up to let you know that something is off – something is wrong that needs your attention right away. It’s telling you that there is some aspect of this situation that isn’t good for you. Fear can be a very useful emotion when it motivates you to be cautious and do what you can to avoid harmful situations.

Intolerance is a kind of hybrid emotion that combines hatred and paranoia and turns them into a whole belief system. It is an outright rejection and violent refusal to accept that there might be something good about the object of our intolerance. When we are being intolerant of people, we focus our attention on them and send angry thoughts toward them, thinking that somehow doing so will make them go away and ease our suffering. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. The more we hate or fear something, the more we are bound to it… and it may even make us sick.

What You Put Out, You Get Back…Tenfold

So how might we neutralize this negative energy? Can we relieve the stress and suffering that comes with the mindset of intolerance? And could we have a positive impact on the spread of the Flu, decreasing it’s power over us?

I suggest that we start by releasing our agreement to hold onto the negative pattern of intolerance in any form that it may come in.

Look at the Soul Contract Circle below and imagine that you can burn and release any family, religious or societal contracts that are causing you harm.

You can use the affirmation below it to help you:

“I am free of the negative pattern of intolerance and paranoia.”

It’s amazing how much energy you can free up by doing this and as energy healers, we can do even more.

Emotions are Simply Energy in Motion = e-motion

We can sense the energy that’s being put out, right? So we can use that ability to disperse the energy too!

You can use this symbol to help you get in contact with the emotional energy pattern behind the flu and dissolve it. All you have to do is look at this symbol, relax and get in contact with that hardened pattern of violent intolerance that started way back in the 1500’s. Once you have it, use your intention to dissolve it, like dark clouds dispersing in the atmosphere.

Once you have dissolved the clouds completely,  you can stop being under the Influenza, and send out love and compassion instead!
