Sit quiet
close your eyes breathe deep and listen:
Fear of the
unknown is the greatest fear of all. We all want certainty and yet uncertainty
is the one constant variable in the world. You never know with any certainty when
a crisis will hit. Just remember what might be meaningful today may be
meaningless tomorrow. Also remember with every loss there is a gain. The
problem we face as humans is that we don’t appreciate something until it is
gone.
Life will
never return to pre-covid-19 just like life never returned to pre 9-11. We can
bemoan the loss or embrace the gain. We have all had to endure isolation but
with this the air is now cleaner and life has slowed down a bit. We can take the
time to breathe clean fresh air! But still we fear illness, losing our jobs and
money, and death. But remember:
To live you
must be willing to die. No one escapes life without dying. Everything in the universe must die. That
does not mean we do stupid things to put ourselves in harm’s way, but as I said
recently to someone who ask me if I thought about dying, “if I spend my time thinking
about dying I will forget how to live.”
In this time
of uncertainty fear of the unknown has paralyzed the world. But if we can
accept and make peace with the fact that things happen, things go up and go
down, things come and go and that life is an ever renewing source of energy ,than
we can let go of fear, find liberation and not let corona virus beat us, but
let it unite us. In the worst of a
crisis the compassion and kindness of humanity always springs worth reminding
us that at the heart of humanity there is goodness.
Let’s do a few poses:
On your back relax and let’s move
into bridge to connect the body and the mind with strength. Roll over and move into Down dog reminding
us to hold fast to our values while surrendering to the ever changing nature of
life. Plank – the strength to
endure means holding to your center; and now sitting Zen.
On your back – close your eyes and
relax taking deep long breathes – listen…
To the one
who has found liberation and is master of his or her true self, the universe
shall be dissolved into a deep realization of the true nature of life; life becomes
what life does; one can influence the universe with subtle vibration
such as compassionate thoughts, and thus remain unaffected by the ebb and flow
of life.
Come to
sitting position
Humans can be
brilliant but sometimes not very smart. We think we are in control when in fact
something like the corona virus can throw us off track; something we can’t even
see can humble us.
An antibody means opposition -Everywhere in
nature there are antibodies – otherwise life could not exist and we could not
evolve. Opposition is a part of human nature; however, it often shows itself
through the ego
Extend out
your hand with the palm s up. Fold in your fingers and extend out your index
finger; the symbol of your ego. The ego is sometimes argumentative, foolish and
righteous –surrendering it to your higher power reminds
us to be kind, considerate and compassionate – these are more important than
being right for they will bring you peace. Draw your finger in and place your
thumb on top; the symbol of your soul. Surrender to it and you will be wise.
The greatest
fear of all is fear itself. It takes balance
or coming back to the razors edge to remind us that every time we embrace fear
we slip from the edge and risk hurting ourselves. Stay strong and grounded like
the tree and don’t let the crisis of life uproot you. Corona Virus -this too will pass.
Namaste ~
may you go with health, happiness and peace
