​In Australia vaccines against this year’s Influenza H3N2 seemed to work only 10% of the time, which is a low efficacy rate. Below are few simple measures what to do if you are struck by flu and are part of the 90% who received vaccine that does not work or one who opted out.
First, it is important to know that flu could be a dangerous viral disease for people in certain risk groups. The only group of people who are at low risk are healthy strong people, so the first course of action to fight a flu successfully is to be proactive about your health, exercise, diet and emotional state. When you encounter flu you want to start the fight as a strong healthy person. This is what one learns in the Hunyuan Academy- methods to become healthy and strong in body and mind.
If you were struck already by the flu and are not at a high risk group you can try the following measures.

Raindrops fall from heaven
滴滴雨天下
An angelic fragrance fills the space between the drops_
靈香滿空間
Ascending!
升!
Snowflakes powder the air
雪花粉填空气
White blanket covers
白毯蓋
Heart empty transcending time!
心無時間!
Fire extinguishes and its power does not abate
火滅与其理損乎?
Whomever it touched feels the warmth
誰触感到其溫和
Sees the light
看到其光亮
Grateful!
謝忱!
Empty, divine, remove, recover!
空靈解复
Farewell master!
合十拜別

are not banging our little toe every day or burning our hand every week. Time and time again our thoughts, words and actions are not 100% there, the mind wanders to a distant land and we are partially there. We are busy! The only time that we are not busy is during sleep.

In reality, “busy” and “many things on my mind” serve as smoke and mirrors preventing me from experiencing the life inside. The life, which is inside but at the same time connected to everyone and everything around me, is the seed of harmony. Mind distraction prevents harmony between me and that other thing, just like with the table’s leg and the oven; harmony is lost for a brief moment and my toe bangs the table’s leg, connection is broken and my hand burns by the oven. But physical misery is not where it ends.

For with every thought, every word and every action devoid of harmony and connection there is a little bang, a little burn. Not being present and still talking to people, thinking thoughts and taking actions is painful.  In Hunyuan Heart practice, avoiding this pain is called Learning the Simple Things. Practitioners learn, while awake, to feel the life inside and without distractions think, talk and act. Every thought, word and action yields harmony skipping the bangs and burns.
