I never thought I would say this but I am thankful to have been tested positive for COVID immediately upon my return home from an overseas trip. This meant several things: (a) my energy level was at an all-time low, and I needed to rest and re-charge myself; (ii) it allowed me time to reflect and study my CLT notes; (iii) it gave me an opportunity to work out what the aspects of my life that is inconsistent or is at odds with a CLT practitioner. For the past week, I have been self-isolating in an empty flat with no wi-fi. My daily WhatsApp video calls with my elder daughter who was similarly COVID positive half-way round the world in London were my main daily interaction with the outside world.
My symptoms
Everyone I spoke to seemed to have had different symptoms and experiences. Some were asymptomatic, while others had fever, sore throat, aches etc. I had a mild fever and headaches that started from my temple and slowly moved down to the base of my head and then down again to my back until I felt as if I was lying down on a bed of nails or having claws digging into my back. My normally healthy appetite also disappeared.
What I did
Perhaps because my energy levels were so low, I could immediately feel what helped and what made the symptoms worse. I found that doing my CLT 5E exercises help elevate the pain and discomfort of the COVID symptoms. I did not count how many sets I did, I sat till I felt better. On the contrary I found that time in front of the screen (be it mobile phone, iPads, etc) aggravated my pain. I immediately cut off all screen time from watching Netflix*. I even made my daughter do her CLT 5E before or during her video calls with me hoping it would not trigger the pain, but it did not really help other than to get her to do her 5E exercises.
I have never been a person who remembers to take her supplements or any form of medication regularly. But I took about 2-3 packets of Vitamin C (Bio-C), 1 – 2 packets each of Bio-Thistle and Bio-Oxi daily for the first 4-5 days. During this time, I was also recovering from jet lag so I slept when I could. My sleep was intermittent throughout the day and night with a maximum of 4 hours max each time as I would sleep when exhaustion overwhelmed me only to be woken up by pain.
On Day 5, I took Bio-green and Bio-balance to detox, and around the same time my back pain slowly became more acute. The pain was concentrated on my lower back (sacral area) and shooting down both sides of my legs. It was so bad that I could not sit, stand, lie down or sleep. By this time, my CLT 5E exercises only brought relief during the period when I sat. The pain returned almost as soon as I got up to wash my crystals. So much so I took paracetamol (the first time in over 20 years). The pain relief was immediate but it only lasted 2.5 hours. I was advised that the pain could be a sign I was severely dehydrated and lacked salt. I made sure I drank more water and took another packet of Bio-balance the next day. I was relatively pain-free till the evening.
Other observations
Other than screen-time, I also noticed that the sharp pains on my back would start whenever there is the slightest infraction of my thoughts that is not aligned with the School and the Source Teachings. If I were to ignore these warning signs and not sit immediately, the pain would only get stronger until I complete another round of 5E exercises. I can feel the heavy field on my back dissipating and dissolving while doing my 5E exercises, the sharp claws and nails slowly losing their grip on my back.
Taking the supplements addressed the physical symptoms, e.g., reduced my fever, but could not help to get rid of COVID. That requires building up and conserving my energy. Before I left for my overseas trip, I knew I was running on empty as I was rushing to complete so many things. Falling sick when I did is my body is telling me to slow down. The challenge for me now is to build and conserve my energy.
It is now the end of Day 6, I am still tested positive although I am largely fine but for the persistent pain in my back. At this stage, I would say the best ‘cure’ for COVID symptoms is to clear my field through 5E practice, aligning with the Source and maintaining one’s equilibrium.
Last thoughts
While in isolation, I realised that I have failed to let go many worldly attachments, such as sending my children to a good university, providing for my family and aging parents to lifestyle they have become accustomed to (i.e., good food without fear of not being able to pay for bills). These attachments stem from assumptions – that a good education will lead to fulfilling job and life – which we all know to be false in today’s modern world. And it is these attachments that gave rise to the situation that I find myself in now. I must let them go, so that I can return to the Source. Keeping these attachments will only lead to further entanglements, and loss of energy. If I do not let go of these denatured structures, how can I restructure my geometry and DNA to resonate with Source frequency? I must let go of my ill-conceived attachments, practise, and live the 3 Principles of Love, Truth and Selflessness. Only then will I get out of the quagmire I find myself in.
* These c-dramas and k-dramas have sapped the life out of me for a long time – I would start with one episode and several hours later I would still be in the same position watching. I knew it but did not or could not do anything about it. I excused myself saying it was my way of de-stressing after a day’s or week’s hard work, but deep down I knew better. It was like the devil in me. Others may call it “inertia”, “procrastination” or even “addiction”.
