Hi dear ones,
I am writing this in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis that is currently happening on a global level.
Wherever you are right now, whether it be stuck inside, going to work, navigating being out and about, because you have to - I am sending you peace.
The past two weeks have felt like months as we all adjust daily to the current crisis due to COVID-19. I will admit, the first few days I found myself stuck in "self-centered" mindset, worried about my business, worried about my loved ones who are immune-comprised, etc.
This week, it felt like each day brought a new awareness to the huge impact this is having on so so so many beings. Thinking of those who are already battling an illness and have to go to hospital and doctors, their loved ones who can't accompany them. Funerals that must go on despite lack of attendees and the healing touch that is SO needed during those times. Families who are about to welcome a new baby. Families who cannot feed themselves or their children. Homeless people who are lacking resources more then ever, small businesses - I can go on and on. Please feel free to share with me your own personal struggles. (just reply back to this email) <3
The more I open my heart to all who are impacted, the more gratitude I feel for all that I have.
Opening our hearts can be a painful process. Worrying about others and the world can feel like a heavy burden. It is suffering that truly binds us. Through opening our hearts, we can feel connected to others, connected to the essence of existing.
During this time I find comfort in meditations such as Karuna meditation, also known as Loving Kindness meditation. Karuna means compassion in sanskrit. This meditation helps us to send loving kindness and compassion to ourselves and others, as we all need it right now.
I would like to offer you a free recorded Loving Kindness meditation that you can do wherever you may be right now:
