ACCESSING INNER CALM AMIDST THE CORONAVIRUS

In unprecedented and uncertain times we can easily get locked into worry thought, anxious feeling and we can loose our ground entangled in a web of scary stories about a future that doesn’t exist. At moments like this it is important to repeatedly come back to our true home. The present moment. To come back to our next breath, the present sights, the sounds happening right now. The moment by moment dance of life around us in this moment. To hear the bird sing, to feel our feet on the earth, to feel the sensations in the body with no labels or judgements. To invite the attention out of thought and into this present scene. To honor and engage with this moment with our precious attention. There is only ever this moment. Each time we lose ourselves in the mind, we can reset again - we can feel our feet on the ground, we can notice our breath rising and falling in our bellies, we can listen to the chatter in the street outside, the hum of the heater, and the awesome silence that holds everything. All crisis is an invitation for us to meet ourselves, and each other, in a much deeper way. To slow down and remember what’s truly important to us. To break our addiction to news cycles and devices, and to touch life with more tenderness and curiosity.
