Life in the times of this pandemic is churning all of our fears and scary beliefs.
What's coming up for you? Is it anxiety over getting sick? Is it the financial uncertainty? Is it the concerns about what is being done/not being done?
The truth is that we are in a MASSIVE transition point both at the individual and collective level. This IS ABSOLUTELY an opportunity to transform ourselves... BUT in order to achieve that, we must confront the junk that's still lurking in the backs of our minds…
There was a moment in my life that changed me forever. I was going through a really difficult situation that I felt was out of my control. In the midst of feeling a mix of despair, anger and anxiety, I stopped and asked myself a question that shifted my perspective (and my reality) in an instant.
These are hard times we're going through. There is little we can control and it's easy to feel angry at what is being done or not done. It's reasonable to be extremely anxious about all of the ways in which things can get really bad. And it's easy to feel despair at our inability to change the trajectory of things.
I want to share this question with you, so you can explore the possibility that asking this question for yourself might help you as it always helps me.
Anxiety? Incessant thoughts about what's going on? Hard to disconnect from the news? Physical pain?
Today I share two meditations that can help. I facilitated them last night for my "open house" group and folks really loved them.
Meditation #1 starts at minute 2:18 (it's about 9 minutes in length)
Meditation #2 starts at minute 11:50 (it's about 18 minutes in length)
Today I want to talk about how the nature of our universe is one of polarity. My simple metaphor illustrating the nature of polarity in all life might help you navigate the current challenging times.
Coronavirus has upended all of our lives, but it doesn't have to translate into fear, or overwhelm about the future. There are many ways in which we can actually find beauty, peace and strength in the midst of this.
We are living extraordinary times. Our world is changing before our eyes and we have a golden opportunity to rise to the occasion. We are being called to go inwards (indoors but also within ourselves) so we can cultivate our deepest centeredness and inner peace.
I'm inviting you to join me in a new virtual meditation club -- the Thrive With Morella Med-Club ;-)
My clients have asked me to offer regular, supported meditation practice, and they've told me how my guided meditations have been powerful for them. So I'm making them available to everyone.
Join us next Monday, and every Monday after that if you choose! :)
