The 3
types of Long COVID I am seeing now whose
symptoms are being overlooked, discounted,
or assigned to other diseases. Is this you
or someone you know?
with
Inspiration from Archangel Michael, Mary,
and the Beings of Light
Dear Friends,
As I finish this missive on Long COVID, I stated again to my
guides and Archangel Michael that I am ready to be done with
writing and reading about COVID. Archangel Michael was
silent for a moment, and then I felt a sense of gentle
laughter, and I heard in my mind: "But it isn't done with
us." And I remembered that the guides and angels have stated
that humanity's actions influence even these angelic beings.
So, on we go….because COVID "isn't done with us."
Even if we don't think we have been affected, COVID and Long
COVID are changing our consciousness. Archangel Michael
points out that its interaction with our world is providing
a necessary "shove" to provoke a very needful ongoing shift
in human consciousness.
Today I am focusing on the Spiritual and Energetic aspects
of our interactions with the virus, including treatment
options and insights from my guides Archangel Michael, Mary
and a new group known as the Beings of Light. With their
support, I am using the COVID-19 situation to demonstrate a
shift that humanity is making (whether we want to or not) to
recognize the interconnectedness of ALL LIFE and how we
might move more easily through this shift.

is also known as post-acute sequelae of
SARS-CoV-2 infection or PASC Why
it Matters to All of Us.
Why We
May Not Notice COVID Lingering in Our Body
There is no need
to fault ourselves when we miss noticing that something is
out of balance in our body or our energy field. Sometimes it
is merely how our brain works.
Our brain tends to stop prioritizing things that become
constant. Muscle tension is a good example. If a damaged
muscle isn't causing a lot of pain, we often ignore the
discomfort until suddenly there is a lot of pain! So too
with Long COVID symptoms.
I often feel a "buzz" in the energy field of those who have
Long COVID, and they themselves report noticing it. It is
similar enough to drinking a little too much coffee that
people often accept it and learn to stop paying attention to
it. Another symptom that tends to be dismissed is a sense of
not being fully settled or satisfied by meditation, sleep
and other nourishing practices. These and other symptoms
(depression, fatigue and foggy brain) slide into the
background of daily life. Over time people learned to tune
out the buzz, ignore the lack of fulfilment in what used to
satisfy them, and simply push through fatigue.
I suspect that the "foggy-brain" associated with Long COVID
and a host of other chronic symptoms that are hard to define
all have a basis in COVID's unique style of infecting our
nerve cells both in our brains and in our gut's immune
system. This, along with our brain's ability to stop
noticing what is not actively changing or what is not
causing significant pain, has led to an overly slow
realization that COVID may persist long after the acute
phase has passed.
I am finding that our body retains bits of past viral
strains from multiple COVID exposures. These combined
energies create an impendence, or buzz in the nerves of our
body.
When the buzz is lifted after healing sessions, many clients
realize it has been with them for a while. COVID, like all
successful diseases, is opportunistic. It will find areas of
our body and energy system that we are not yet fully owning.
This can be an opportunity to clear out very old patterns,
even those from childhood, and establish new thoughts,
beliefs and habits. In particular I notice fear, anger and
boundaries as major life issues tied into COVID.
Fear has been a major component of our COVID experience.
When the gut is full of this buzz, it is very uncomfortable
and the natural tendency is to unground and not connect with
nor put attention on our low body. Fear, feeling a need to
protect oneself, and anger, are natural results of this
ungrounding process.
This buzz has kept our body, brain and energy systems from
being fully operational as a unit. Imagine how much easier
it is for us to be connected to our body when all of our
nervous systems are tuned to our Soul and can communicate
and connect!

Back Our Bodies
What if there isn't just one disease or set of symptoms that
medicine can define as Long COVID? What if each strain of
COVID interacts in different ways with different parts of
our body, emotions, mental capacities and energetic auric
field?
What all COVID strains have in common is that 10% - 20% of
people (1)
(2)
will have lingering symptoms that can last months or years
after both acute exposure (you contract COVID, with or
without symptoms) and subacute exposure (you get a little
whiff of the virus but not enough to contract COVID). Yes,
Long COVID can potentially result from just being around the
virus and having repeated low-level or subacute
exposures.
In May 2023 a set of 12 key symptoms
(3) of Long
COVID was put together by Andrea Foulkes, ScD, and the
National Institute of Health's RECOVER (4)
consortium.
Their list of Long COVID symptoms includes "post-exertional
malaise, fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, gastrointestinal
symptoms, palpitations, changes in sexual desire or
capacity, loss of or change in smell or taste, thirst,
chronic cough, chest pain, and abnormal movements."
At the article's conclusion the author quotes physicians and
researchers who point out that questions remain about the
broad range of symptoms and how they group together. It is
possible that there is no one single type of Long COVID, but
rather multiple types of remaining imbalances in the body
being labeled Long COVID.(5)
For myself, I feel that indeed Long COVID presents and
effects the body differently depending on which strains we
have been exposed to and where the virus is able to gestate
/ hide / nest in our body. Typically this is where ever we
have the least available life-force to address the viral
remnants.
Which brings me to a very important point: COVID does not
limit itself to just one place in our body. It will nest and
gestate in multiple points of our body. While each person I
work with is unique, a pattern has emerged that may be of
help to share with you.
My energetic
healing approach has thus far been:
1 To focus on
freeing the intestinal track from the COVID spikes
so that the physical body can process the nutrition
it is receiving from food. 2 Recognize
and release emotional trauma (fight / flight /
freeze / fawn) from the lower body and Enteric
Nervous System. 3 Re-set and
then Re-start the immune system 4 Re-set
grounding, based on the vibration of ovaries /
testicles 5 Release the
energetic cloud (usually guilt / shame of not
accomplishing or working enough) that lies over the
head, neck and upper spine; usually more behind the
body than in front of it. A Side Note:
When our body sends signals to our brain that it is
uncomfortable, and we take no action, eventually
the brain simply stops listening to the body. I
believe this is a part of why so many people in
Western society are suffering burn-out, fatigue and
malaise. This is so common that when people
experience these low-level issues they simply
assume they must "learn to live with it" like
everyone else does. Consider that
there is an intelligence within every living being.
Even a virus has an intelligence within it. This
intelligence has an energetic matrix, much like our
bodies have energetic auric fields. Your body is
interacting with the intelligence of every microbe,
fungus, bacteria and virus it encounters. There is
a reason for this. Change only occurs (typically)
when you as a human become uncomfortable enough to
expend our own life-force in new and unusual ways.
Interacting with the SARs virus is causing you to
make such changes. That is its role in your life
now.
This healing process is deeply based in the lower body. It
reflects our life-long physical definition of who we are and
must be undertaken bit by bit so as not to cause a healing
crisis. Patience, Wisdom and Curiosity are all qualities to
be explored during this process.
I
see three main types of Long COVID in my energy healing
practice.
Each effects our Brain, Gut and Blood systems.Here are some
examples of symptoms. (treatment ideas and Spiritual
meanings are in the next section)
BRAIN
Principle symptoms are brain fog, lethargy, and depression.
May also include tinnitus, restlessness, vertigo, and sleep
issues. Often paired with COVID spikes in the gut that
create a "buzzy" sensation and cravings for food that the
client has left behind years ago such as caffeine and sugar.
Also returning to behaviors from the past that are known
coping mechanisms.
Such symptoms are not easily validated by Western medical
tests. One article (6)
does show that "persistent neurocognitive symptoms after
mild or moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection" have been linked to a
medical marker of inflammation in the brain. To be more
specific, glial cells (which support nerve cells) are
enlarged and/or being found in greater numbers. This may
cause scaring, which we experience as foggy brain, slower
physical reactions, vertigo and general cognitive
decline.
Alexander Gerhard, MD, of the University of Manchester in
England, states that "as many as 20% of individuals might
experience cognitive impairment 12 or more weeks following
COVID-19 diagnosis" (7)
and goes on to state the importance of medical research into
this aspect of Long COVID. This may resolve itself over
time, but there are simple things such as eating salt
fermented vegetables like sauerkraut which are living
probiotics, that will assist greatly.
GUT
COVID nests
and incubates in the immune system which includes the
Enteric Nervous System and the lining of the intestine
and/or colon.(8)
The resulting low grade malnutrition or digestion issues may
not be caught on standard medical blood tests. A buzzy
sensation in the body, an inability to fully come to rest,
or difficulty letting yourself truly enjoy life are signs
that your nervous system is "on guard" against something. I
find that most people have forgotten what it is like to
truly allow themselves to be fully relaxed and supported by
the people and situations that surround them. This is more
than Long COVID; it is symptom of Western culture.
Only since Spring 2023 are medical personnel seeing
studies that prove the existence of both large and
small mental, emotional and physical symptoms of
the COVID spikes remaining in the body. This in
turn is causing our society and medical system to
accept previously dismissed symptoms (fatigue,
chronic musical aches, depression, foggy brain,
etc) to be considered important. I see the
possibility of these same symptoms that are not
directly resulting from COVID to receive heightened
attention. Feeling poorly is not normal. Seeking
and finding support in one's health-care journey is
often a part of a larger healing process.
When COVID first appeared, the focus was on the lungs.
Respiratory symptoms are usually associated with COVID
nesting primarily in the gut and secondarily in the lungs.
Basically, addressing just the respiratory aspects of COVID
won't allow the body to complete the healing process. The
gut microbiome must also be addressed.
COVID has been known to cause depressive symptoms to
escalate.(9)
One common sense treatment for COVID (or any infection) is
to bolster the gut's microbiome and immune system by
consuming probiotics. It turns out that this study just
appeared with the title "Including Probiotics in Major
Depression Treatment Shows Promise: Microbiota-gut-brain
axis has been shown to be an important target for novel
[new] treatments." (10)
Perhaps one silver lining of the COVID cloud is that the
innate connection between our gut and brain is being seen
and appreciated by Western medicine.
BLOOD
COVID spikes
nest into the soft walls of many of our body parts,
including the inner lining of major veins
(11) (less so
our arteries). The spikes can cause major blood clots and/or
micro blood clots in the microvascular network of
capillaries. Those who contracted the original strain of
COVID were at risk for venous issues arising up to a year
after their initial infection. Subsequent weaker strains
continue to yield microvascular issues months and years
later.
This is the most difficult type of Long COVID to address, as
the body itself must figure out how to gently lift the virus
out of itself without damaging the vascular network. This
takes time, nutrition, and dedication to finding and
maintaining a new life path. (12)
Archangel Michael
wants to add this here, which is particularly applicable to
how COVID interacts with our heart and blood vessels:
Treatments and Spiritual Insights
(Archangel Michael and the Beings of Light blended with Norma)
All viruses,
bacteria and fungus have a consciousness within
them. When interacting with our body, this
consciousness offers us an opportunity to remember
an issue that our Soul seeks to look at, and
potentially resolve in this lifetime. In this
fashion, illness is not a sin or a weakness.
It is the Soul at work.
Let's start
with the Basics:
1. Adopt and maintain a robust immune system and healthy
lifestyle. Prevention is everything.
2. If you do get COVID, or any illness, watch and actively
care for yourself AFTER symptoms subside.
3. Sleep. Nap. Plug your body into what nourishes it. This
is an opportunity to rebuild systemically, rather than put
another band-aid on chronic issues.
BRAIN
Neurological
factors are a major component of Long COVID. Foggy brain is
a prime example. This article (13)
shows a pathway that the COVID virus uses to get into the
nerves in our brain. These are the same type of nerves in
our gut's Enteric Nervous System, which are susceptible to
infection via this same method.
Here is why this is crucial to understanding our body's
response to COVID, especially Long COVID.
Each time we are exposed to COVID the nerve cells that are a
crucial part of our immune response are infected. This is
how viruses tend to interact with us. Long COVID indicates
that our body has not found its new balance as it exits the
healing process.
Here
are some neurologic healing options for
brain:
Join a meditation or similar group, as you can't focus well
by yourself. I know it is hard to acknowledge that you are
not well. This is especially true in New Age circles where
poor health is often judged as a spiritual lack, rather than
a part of the Soul's natural journey. It is OK to let
yourself be supported by the energies created within a
group. You are not being selfish. You will "pay it forward"
to this group or others at some point. It is the flowing of
energy that allows Spirit to move into the world. Let
yourself be a portal for this flow.
Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is the only way to allow
yourself to receive, The only way to fully recover is to
find that tender vulnerable center and let others, whom you
trust, see it.
Spiritual implications of this type of Long COVID focus on
letting others support you and letting go of controlling all
that is around you. My guides remind me that a dog who
believes his kingdom is all that he can see will forever be
frustrated, barking at the street traffic, pedestrians and
squirrels whom he cannot control. Re-assess what is yours to
put your hands and life force into, and let the rest be the
providence of others. No one learns by not doing. Let
others learn, and focus on what you need to do, thus
focusing on what you need to learn.
Because of the Microbiota-gut-brain axis interconnection,
you may also wish to consider the treatment ideas given
below under GUT.
GUT
from
Norma:
The first waves of COVID lodged primarily in the gut's
immune system. Subsequent waves continue to involve the
protein spikes of COVID-19 entering and remaining in the
intestinal lining and Enteric Nervous System. I shared
additional treatment and spiritual insights on this in
detail in earlier newsletters
available at my website. These are noted in the sections
below. Here is a quick review and new updated
information.
from
Archangel Michael:
Your body is not at war with any virus, bacteria or
fungus. The physical environment is either suitable
to its replication or not.
Your bodies have not forgotten how to nourish
themselves and repair cellular damage. Current
trends in lifestyle, especially the cultural trait
of judging what is needed and not needed by the
body based on what your mind believes, causes
imbalances. Feel your body, rather than lecturing
it.
from Norma (with help from Archangel Michael and other
healing guides)
Create a
less hospitable environment in your gut for COVID-19 by
Enhancing
Your Immune System
REST / SLEEP
Learn to rest. Not just sleep, but rest. Put yourself in
places that you love. Surround yourself with objects, pets
and people who receive you as you are. Constant vigilance
may be habitual, but it is not normal. Sleep issues often
result from an underlying pattern of distrust of what is
around us.
The behavioral response known as Fright/Flight/Freeze/Fawn
is largely located in our Enteric Nervous System, which
wraps around our intestines and interacts with our immune
system. When we are in danger our Enteric Nervous System
turns on, like a fire alarm. If the situation did not reach
a full conclusion, the alarm may never have been fully
turned off. Events or stimulus in our lives, such as COVID's
spike protein lodging in our intestinal tissues, now cause
us to turn our attention to listening to the ongoing alarm
again.
This is an opportunity to turn off the alarm from long ago.
Doing so allows the immunes system to function more fully,
and the intestines to better absorb the nutrition from your
diet. Sleep becomes truly restful. Trust in others
increases. Your ability to discern what is useful and not
useful is restored, as the constantly sounding alarm is now
silent, and your guides and intuition are more easily heard
and understood.
SLEEP / DREAM STATE
A recent study found that 89% of women and 59% percent of
men with medically supervised sleep apnea had increased odds
of Long COVID. (14)
In contrast, women who were infected with COVID-19 and who
had healthy sleep habits before they were infected were 30%
less likely to have Long COVID than those who had poor sleep
habits before infection (15)
This second study appears to have been done early in the
pandemic, when the original strain was circulating.
My guides remind me that it is in the dream state that our
consciousness combines most easily with the larger
consciousness of humanity and All That Is. We are an
important member of this daily meeting, both to learn and to
share experiences. Maintaining sleep through the full arch
of natural sleep stages also allows our Soul to engage with
our physical body and promote healing towards the balance
desired by our Soul and body's combined intelligences.
VITAMIN D
Medical studies are catching up with what holistic
practitioners and energy healers have known for decades;
exposure to the sun is crucial for our physical, emotional
and mental health. "Among hospitalized COVID-19 patients,
pre-infection deficiency of vitamin D was associated with
increased disease severity and mortality."
(16)
Human skin is meant to interact with the sun. When our skin
is exposed to UVB light from the sun a process begins to
create vitamin D.
It turns out that vitamin D, among the many other things it
does, assists our body to calm inflammation in our bowels.
Since about 80% of our immune system lives in the microbiome
of our bowels, it makes sense that our body's response to
infection is stronger with the most advantageous levels of
vitamin D. It seems so simple, but yes, appropriate sunshine
expose will assist our body to release COVID-19 protein
spikes from the lining of the intestines.
PROBIOTICS
Probiotics are living microorganisms. Each strain of
probiotic has a consciousness within it. Therefore each
strain of probiotic interacts with not just our intestines
but also with our energetic auric field. We can sense,
psychically, when we are eating food that is alive.
Eating a variety of different fermented foods lets your body
interact with many naturally occurring strains. Those
strains that are lacking in your intestines / colon will
find a welcome place to grow in your microbiome, and those
that you already have in abundance will naturally be shed in
feces.
Probiotics are best absorbed and utilized by our body in
their whole food form. Salt-fermented foods like kvass and
sauerkraut are common. Because they are still alive they are
still fermenting, and must be kept cool to avoid too much
gas from building up inside the container.

Building a Robust Immune System
Vitamin D / Probiotics
HEMP ACIDS
Just as our bodies have a method to create vitamin D from
exposure to the sun, so too we have receptors that utilize
cannabinoids from food. There are different types of
cannabinoids, and here we are speaking of those not
containing THC.
Many common foods like chocolate, broccoli and cinnamon
offer our bodies different types of cannabinoids. Hemp oils
contain different types of cannabinoids. Many of these are
highly processed and may not provide our body with the
energetic life-force that is meant to accompany the physical
cannabinoid molecules. Cannabinoid Acids exist within
freshly harvested oils, before they are processed.
"The researchers found that two cannabinoid acids commonly
found in hemp varietals of cannabis, cannabigerolic acid, or
CBGA, and cannabidiolic acid, also known as CBDA, can bind
to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes
COVID-19. By binding to the spike protein, the compounds can
prevent the virus from entering cells and causing infection,
potentially offering new avenues to prevent and treat the
disease." (17)
(18)
A NOTE from NORMA: Since this hemp study was published, a
flurry of related articles are appearing online. Do your own
search of the latest information to find the proper hemp oil
supplement available in your area containing these hemp
acids. These hemp acids do not contain any THC.

not Curing Disease
HEMP / MELATONIN
BLOOD
Life's challenges can lead to stagnation or movement.
Movement, meaning change, often comes not just in one area
of our life, but seemingly as a rainstorm, drenching us in
possibilities and challenges. Balancing the many aspects of
changes so that they occur smoothly is not easy. It can take
time to line up the many possibilities and layers of
changes. Blood-clots can be a sign of overthinking or
persistently disengaging from changes that your Soul
desires. Especially the messy changes that overthrow the
life plans that others have made with you (or for you).
Blood is considered in mystical terms to be both life and
death.(19) Ideally blood moves only within the portions of
our body designed to be nourished by it. The quality of our
blood's flow inside of the veins, arteries and capillaries
indicates how easily we are using our life-force. Are we
taking advantage of stress-free opportunities? Or are we
talking ourselves into "doing it the right way?" In many
cases the "right way" is the socially acceptable way, not
our Soul's way.
How to know the difference? When a million justifications
for not moving forward on a decision come up, it is most
likely not coming from your Soul. In this case the reasons
are like old hardened wooden covers on a long-abandoned
well. When you pry up the cover (the reason to choose to do
something a certain way) you have a nice mushy well of
unrecognized guilt and grief underneath.
Here is where energy work can be very effective, as the
underlying guilt / grief is almost always emotion taken on
from a spouse, parent or authority figure. It may have
festered and been living with you for so many decades that
you have lost track of the fact that it isn't really yours.
And yes, a small percentage might belong to you too.
Releasing such emotional energies allows them to go to the
Higher self, Guardian Angel or Soul of whomever this pattern
belongs to. It will not hurt or harm. This is a purely
energetic pattern. It fits into the energetic matrix of
whomever it belongs to. Releasing it allows you to feel and
understand why you took it on and learn from the experience.
Returning the emotional energy to them allows them to have
it available to process, whenever they are ready to do
so.
CONCLUSION:
All things that exist in our world of form have a
consciousness or spiritual matrix within them. This is
clearly true of things created by Nature: plants and animals
and rocks and minerals. It is also true of anything created
by humans. The consciousness within the COVID virus came
into form as part of an agreement that humans have with each
other (our shared consciousness) and with All That Is. COVID
can trip us up, or help us learn more about ourselves, our
choices and our shared reality. It is our choice.
A by-product of living in our polarized mindset (especially
in Western culture) is our focus on fixing what we deem to
be wrong. Anything that is uncomfortable is easy to judge as
wrong. Physical discomfort is wrong. And therefore it must
be fixed.
But systemic and chronic illness doesn't just arrive
overnight. There are energetic, emotional, mental and
physical distortions that must occur. And these all take
time to fully resolve. I am convinced that our Souls choose
for us to overcome and learn from difficulties in this
lifetime so that the information and experiences we have can
be integrated into our larger Soul upon our rebirth into
Spirit. But we do often make choices that cause additional
difficulty, beyond the scope that our Soul had
anticipated.
In the past 150 years Western culture has labeled disease as
wrong, and has valiantly used science to create fixes for
the various symptoms that it could measure. Much like our
society, our medical system strives to keep us out of
discomfort without our having to change anything that is
causing that discomfort!
COVID-19 is one moment in time where humanity as a
collective has the opportunity to pause and reflect. How
fully are we willing to acknowledge that fixing the symptoms
is useful only to allow us time to address the underlying
changes that our Soul is calling us to make?
Most of you reading this understand and are already
utilizing tools for deepening your own understanding of
issues in your life. It is my sense, both from my lived life
experience and from my guides, that the release of this SARS
virus was done in order to remind Western culture to look at
our bodies as a single system, made up of many smaller
systems. Long COVID means science will continue to study and
reveal the interactions of the SARS virus with other
diseases and imbalances throughout our body. And at some
point perhaps even beyond that, into our energetic auric
field.
Meanwhile, I am reminded that the choices each of us make
echo and resonate out to others and to our world. Healing
means never forcing any change or decision upon others, but
making it only within ourself.
Many blessings to all,
-Norma

19. Blood is
considered in mystical terms to be both life and death. In
medieval times the presence of blood during menstruation was
seen as a sign of health. The lack of a regular menstruation
indicated illness or imbalance. When a bleeding wound ceased
to bleed without clotting, the life-force was understood to
have left the body.

A TINY BIO
I have always seen auras. As a psychic I 'see' how people connect to their guides, angels, and other people. My healings assist in clearing accumulated cobwebs and awakening the innate creativity and healing potential within each person. I use my intuition, insights from your guides and angels, healing energies and music in this process. I believe that our world is healed as each person heals themselves.
Private
Healing Sessions
(offered by phone or Skype or Zoom)
Sessions
include both information from your guides and
angels, as well as healing energies to facilitate
changes your Soul desires in your body and your
life. This multi-faceted approach is notably deep
and most people find that one or two sessions
provides them with substantial, lasting and
profound change. The kind of change that is so
complete that there is little or no going back to
the other ways of being.
In these healing sessions the spiritual foundation
of who you are (the portion of your soul
incarnating right now) engages with your body in a
new way. This allows what does not reflect your
Soul and body to be revealed, understood, and
released. Simply put, the real world version of you
catches up with the spiritual foundation of who you
truly are. After the healing session your Soul,
body and life will reflect each other more
accurately.
How
Your Healing is
Supported
I do not intend or focus healing so that your
body looks perfect, or that your aura looks like it
does in a book. My guides consult and follow your
guides, asking at each organ, each chakra, each
issue in your life; what is it that your body and
Soul choose? What is your next step? And in this
process, allowing whatever no longer serves your
Soul's journey to be released.
A recording is made of the session. When you listen
to the recording your guides and the healing angels
will return to continue to help your personal inner
understanding and release continue. Sessions are
last about an hour. Please be in touch with me to
secure an appointment time.
office@healingchants.com or 734-330-3997.

Renewal. During this time we acknowledge all the
