How Fear Impacts Your Body’s Immune Response

With the news of theCoronavirus impacting the entire world, it is important to not get caught up in the hype and respond with fear.  Your body has an amazing ability to heal and thrive even during this time, but when you come from a place of fear, this natural response is compromised making you even more susceptible to what you are afraid of!

Our society has conditioned us respond to life with fear, even from perceived threats convincing us that it is the best way to stay safe.  However,the paradox of this lie is that this response is what is keeping you trapped and sick!  When you respond from fear, your body’s fight-or-flight response is activated turning off the very body systems you
need to move powerfully through the Coronavirus whether you get sick or not. 

How your body responds when you are in fear:

• Your immune system response decreases
• Your DNA is distorted, because “unnecessary” cellular functions are turned off so you can defend yourself from a perceived attack
• Creates anxiety & dis-ease in your body
• Blocks you from hearing your intuition by shutting down the part of your brain that is responsible for rational thought and activating your amygdala

It is possible not to respond from fear, but it is a choice you get to make moment by moment. The key is to realize that you are safe, and the threat you feel, though it seems real, is just an illusion, a perceived threat.  It isn’t real.  Tapping into your intuition allows you to do this with ease and grace, but it is much harder to access this place within you if you are being trapped by fear.  This is why it is so important to come from a place of love instead.

What happens in your body when you choose to be in a state of love:

• Your immune response increases
• Your body is able to access all cellular functions so you can repair your DNA
• Allows your body’s systems to work together to create optimal health in your body
• Increases your brain function, activating your prefrontal cortex and allowing you to discover creative possibilities

So how can you start choosing love over fear when you are feeling afraid? 

Partake in activities that help to tap into your intuition and discover your optimal health!  Here are three things you can do to reprogram your body from responding from fear and coming from love.

Self-Care

When you feel supported it is easier to feel safe and stop the body from responding from fear.  The best thing you can do to take care of your body during the Coronavirus is to take Liposomal vitamin C to boost your immune system. 

Shift your mindset

Instead of focusing on what is being taken from you, look for what you can gain from this experience.  If you find you now have more time at home, use this time to connect with your family, rest, and enjoy activities that you felt you weren’t able to before.
