02 Apr Staying Grounded on Lockdown ~ Geof’s Monthly Message ~ April 2020

My meditations have disclosed to me that the current situation of the world has many benefits for resetting priorities, refreshing intentions, reflecting on actions, and revitalizing our spirits.  You manage your own sense of awareness and this influences your perceptions about your life, and who you are. How you choose to experience this situation is your choice.

Fear seems to be the loud and scary message that travels  through the media like thunder scaring our friends and family, and causing undue stress and anxiety. Love is the soft and subtle energy that inspires and encourages through the darkness of fear. Let’s commit to each other that we will love ourselves enough to find gratitude, appreciation, and inner peace.

I am no expert on eliminating fear, but I do try consciously to detach from its dark angst and resistant nature. Allow me to share some suggestions to help you find a sense of interconnectiveness with your spirit and grounding to this amazing vacation spot of your spirit called planet Earth. Namaste
