Peace in the Face of Fear
My past week has been inundated with stories and worries about Coronavirus. It’s a scary situation and I’ve definitely binged on reading and listening to news about it. It’s ok to go down those paths, and I have, but eventually that gets exhausting. I can feel a dip in my energy and in my sense of peace. When I start to notice that I’m getting off balance, I spend time getting centered in my heart, clearing my mind, and connecting to Source.
Some ways I do this in practice include:
- self-Reiki
- this chakra clearing meditation from Suzanne Giesemann (scroll to Ten Minute Transformation)
- limiting exposure to media
- spending time with supportive friends and family
- reading uplifting and fun books
- and of course, making necessary preparations
According to different groups of people, the situation with Coronavirus may be overblown or very serious. Having just lost my beloved stepmom to the flu, I’m taking Coronavirus pretty seriously. However, it doesn’t help anyone to freak out without taking action. Do what you can to protect yourself, your family, and community – most importantly by washing your hands. And then, take care of your heart. Make your inner peace a priority.
