Life is all about change. Everything is dynamic. We as humans crave comfort, safety, protection, and a sense of belonging. We attempt to control life by creating routines, expectations, segregated tribes and endless stories of how things should be. This sense of denial of "what is" creates a lot of unnecessary suffering and anxiety. Despite our greatest efforts, life will not be controlled. "Bad" things happen to "good" people on a micro level, however on a macro level, life has a harmonious ebb and flow. Nothing is wasted and nothing is destroyed. Everything is merely transformed. Seasons come and go, weather patterns alter, landscapes re-shape, animal populations fluctuate, water levels vary and human cells die and re-form daily. There is a loving intelligent consciousness far greater than our human brain can compute that reigns supreme. We have forgotten our connection to this consciousness by fabricating a belief that nature is here to serve us - to meet our every need.
How powerful are we really, when a tiny, invisible virus brings the world to its knees?
It is a natural survival tendency to be afraid of the unknown - it is a basic human emotion when situations are out of our control and our mortality is staring us in the face. The problem arises when fear takes the driver seat; all rationale goes out the window and panic sets in. Fear is handy when immediate danger lurks, however fearful thoughts of "what if" scenarios are a useless energy drain. Instead of feeding fear we can examine what is right in front of us each day and pick what we are able to take charge of. What choices can we make in the present that nurture a sense of calm rather than dis-ease?
In this time of isolation, we have the power to:
- control the amount of "bad" news we are exposed to and seek out more of the "good"
- observe our triggers and question negative patterns of thought that disrupt peace
- re-think our priorities, values and needs to lower stress levels
- get comfortable with mortality so life takes on more meaning
- de-clutter, simplify and re-connect with self and others to gain more freedom and alignment
This is a time to wake up and face the discomfort to what is happening here and now. We have no special entitlement over anything or anyone else. We are interconnected within a large ecosystem. In order to adapt or thrive our intentions going forward must stem from a mindset of "win-win" and not a "what's in it for me" attitude. The Covid-19 virus does not discriminate with regard to race, religion or social-economic status, just as a forest fire does not pick what animal or foliage it consumes. We are all one and one for all. Life is here for us to take part in and to experience synergistically, the beauty, the creativity, the challenges, the hardships and the joy it offers. It is not a competition but a partnering in co-creation and evolution. Surrender to what is, consciously choose action in the present and let go of invested outcomes. This is a time to wake up, to break out of our cocoon of illusion and to spread our wings so we can see the big picture. Life flows through us and therefore the more we flow with it, accept its process of change, control what we can control and let go of the rest, the more harmony and abundance will come to light.
