It is an amazing time on the planet. Most of the world is practicing Social Distancing. In America, most states are ordered to Shelter in Place. We are determined to defeat the disease known as CoronaVirus or COVID-19.
How can this experience be positive, even a gift? For people who value spiritual awakening the opportunity is obvious. We have been taught to live in the moment and see possibilities and opportunities—to experience life with a focus on living in the clear light.
WE can make the rules of social distancing work for us. WE can actually create a Pandemic Retreat for ourself. Some of us have paid a lot of money to attend a spiritual retreat. There was probably alone time, time for meditation and self-inquiry. The intention of most retreats is to find a calm still center which can be revisited after the retreat. Retreats usually help us get in touch with our human condition and our divine light.
So be mindful. Notice what you feel like when the world slows down–when you slow down. Watch your thoughts and actions. Respect your inner wisdom. Be introspective.
Follow the country and state guidelines to help everyone.
Use this time as your Retreat!
