When a widespread difficulty like the Coronavirus pandemic grows, it becomes important to draw on our inner strength. It is the time to pause, reflect and bring wisdom, courage and care to ourselves and those around us. We human beings have survived for a thousand generations, helping one another and inspiring each other. We know how to do this. Instead of getting caught in collective fear and anxiety, we can remember to take a breath, center ourselves, and take practical precautions and protections, but calmly and in the spirit of love. Each of us can contribute to the well-being of ourselves, our communities and our world.

Let us practice together in these difficult days. With the spreading coronavirus, there is the need for many to stay at home. This is the perfect time to create a home retreat for yourself.

inquiry for today~ who can you reach out to?

it’s ok to feel

Tell your heart

that the fear of suffering

is worse than the suffering itself.
