In March 2020, I used to be smacked down with Covid. It was a horror present. I by no means need that stage of sickness to occur once more. But once I had an Astra Zeneca jab, it did. The vaccine knocked me proper again into that hellish inferno of nausea, fever and essentially the most agonising physique pains. Thankfully this time it solely lasted three days. However, maybe worse than the bodily signs was the vaccine’s affect on my nervous system. The trauma was actual. As the post-vaccine weeks wore on, I used to be paddling frantically to maintain my head above a wierd tide of hysteria, despair and a Pandora’s field of moods and psychological states that I haven’t encountered in years.
Ugh.
BUT, in contrast to these occasions previous, I’ve a toolkit to take care of the contents of Pandora’s field.
The finest treatment for the nervous system? Pranayama. So I dedicated to a day by day 31-minute pranayama follow. I divided this follow into three elements. The first 5 minutes had been devoted to alternate nostril respiration to revive steadiness. Then I moved to twenty minutes of breath of fireside to spice up my immune and nervous methods. I completed with 5 minutes of kumbhaka on the exhale (inhale, exhale, maintain breath out for so long as snug and repeat) to seal the follow.
I supported this 40-day pranayama follow with a medley of kriyas for therapeutic the nervous system, together with the Kriya for Nerve, Navel and Lower Spine Strength. This one was really helpful by the stunning Marlit to be good for the parasympathetic nervous system… it’s TOUGH however very refreshing. I’m additionally nonetheless loyally practising The Women’s Set as I discover it actually helps me get centred and balanced.
It has been two months since I had the vaccine and I’m nearly getting again to me. I do know the pranayama and kriyas have helped… I’m so grateful to have these instruments to raft me by means of these rocky patches.
Please do get in contact in case you have had the same response… I’m completely satisfied to share kriyas and so on to assist.
