How to use mind power to be immunized from flu?

[Xing Liu]

Recently, I have seen a lot of my friends got sick because of the flu season. Today, my boss told me that he got a cold also. We have 5 people in a small office, 3 of them got sick. I wonder if mind power can increase my immune system. When people get sick in flu season, is it because of the real flu, or because of the psychological effect? Just because workmates around me got sick, doesn't suggest I will be ill likely, right? Does our mind play a role in this? What's your thought on this?

Stay healthy and strong everybody!
blessing,
Xing

I think our mind does play a role in it. I think a lot of people get sick because they open themselves to receive sickness.

Just think about it. First of all, you consider the flu to be a disease you can get relatively easily. Second of all, when you're around people, you expect to become sick as well.
Neither of those two things have to be true, but by thinking of this you are allowing yourself to become ill.

I used to be very ill lots of times. I used to miss weeks of school and sometimes miss holidays as well because I was ill.

Nowadays I don't miss any schooldays at all. In fact, I can say that I haven't been very ill for about two years now, except for the occasional headache due to too much thinking or sleeping in the bus in a bad position. I've never had to lie down for more than a couple of hours to get better from a headache, whereas I used to have to lie down for a week or so.
I don't take the flu shots anymore. I still get invitations, but I have been forgetting about it for quite some time now, and I'm still fine.

I think the key is seeing things as how they are now, and not wandering off in the non-existant future. That's what you're doing when you're standing in the cold, hoping you won't get sick. That's what you're doing when you're around people with the flu, and hoping you won't get it from them.

Instead, wish them well, and go on with your day.
Because your mind power is directly related to your wellbeing, it also has to be related to your immune system.

i think as long as you believe others can be sick, you accept that you also can become sick.

Thanks, JMononoetoe, next time I go to work, I will focus on the present connection with the well being.

I myself do not believe in the flu. I believe the flu is nothing more then just people eating so much crap during the Thanskgiving to New Year's Eve's time period. They start with Thanksgiving which is a huge meal (in the US), then throughout the December/Christmas period, they go to a lot of parties, eat a lot of chocolate and candy which tend to be placed all over. They eat so much crap they normally don't and tend to drink more then usual. Not to mention, with all of that, there is the added stress people feel during December to get everything ready for Christmas. Stress like that further weakens the body, especially a body full of crap food. If all of that is not enough, then they deliver the final blow by drinking so much on New Year's Eve. Then they feel they catch the flu in December and January. I don't think it's the "flu", I believe it's instead just the body having enough of all this excess crap food and toxins and thus the body just can't take it anymore and is letting go of all that.

Thus for the past 8 years, I haven't taken a single flu shot, and instead I've tended to be careful about how I eat during the December period, trying to make sure I don't over do it. I pay close attention to my body and if I feel my body is telling me that I've been putting too much crap into my body and thus am engendering my ability to stay non-sick, I immediately stopped eating junk and mainly eat greens and vegetables, and not much at that, and drink a lot of water for a number of days.

As such, in all of these years, I haven't gotten the flu while a lot of people around me would get pretty sick.

Don't even think about it. If those thoughts come up, just let them go. If you have to, tell yourself you are healthy. The flu might exist for them, but it doesn't for you.

Thanks, seeker5, nice analysis on the reasons of getting flu. Irregular diet + holiday stress = flu interesting

I will watch out my body's signal next time I eat.

Sometimes, we get a cut on the skin, it will heal own its own. We do not consciously ask the skin to heal, however, it heal itself back to the original shape. There might be some kind of power that help us to heal.

Stay healthy and strong everybody!

Exactly. You ever see what a wounded animal does when it gets hurt? It just lays down and begins to lick the wound. It doesn't worry about if it is going to heal, or when it will heal, it just lets its body go to work healing itself. Also, as animals aren't consciously messing with their bodies due to negative thoughts, they don't have the 1000+ diseases that exist in the human realm.
