Global Pandemic

I am hearing a lot lately.  The outside sounds are very loud and obtrusive.  But the heart palpitations are just as loud.  The beating of my heart, and connection to Divine Spirit is just as loud, if not louder.  Divine inspiration, deep global connection, clarity of heart and mind, forgiveness and compassion … all at the top of my heart and mind. 

It’s a lot.  This time is “unprecedented” yes, but, it’s also been written in the stars, predicted by scientists, (even Bill Gates said this would happen), and created by us … yes us. I find it interesting to call this a global pandemic … can we define this for one moment please?   

Pandemic:  a disease prevalent over a whole country or the world.

Hmmm … interesting yes?  Here are a few things I believe to be true and maybe I’m off but…. 

·      I believe we’ve been in a pandemic for quite some time. We’ve been dis-eased as a society … losing connection to heart, to home, to life, to love … it’s been happening for quite awhile, and now it’s unavoidable.    

·      I believe that everything that happens “to us” is actually happening “for us” and this is no exception.  If we fall into fear we will miss the lesson. If we hold grudges we will fail to heal.  If we avoid, avert or dismiss, we will perpetuate this “pandemic” in our own lives, which really … affects the whole.  And that’s the truth.  

·      I believe that there is a karmic/spiritual lesson behind everything …it’s the cosmic fuel if you will.  I also believe that astrologically speaking, we are in quite a cycle. And we have opportunities.  Lots of them. 

The way our world has been going hasn’t been working; maybe for some, but not for the whole.  And I personally don’t have all the answers. But I do know this: Things need to change, and they need to change now.  This sucks – absolutely sucks.  And,  

·      I believe we are at the precipice of creating something new.  A brand-new way of being and doing things that may not be perfect, but it will be better.  

·      I believe we are being asked to sit in our own stuff and heal it.  And if you aren’t sitting in anything at all – if there is nothing to be healed – dig deeper.  Still nothing? Okay … send your love out.  And out. And out.  

But birthing something new, allowing the old to drop away … IS uncomfortable. It IS challenging.  I keep thinking about the contractions I felt just before my girls were born.  Hurt like hell.  Like that…. 

·      I believe, in the pit of my heart, that we have been in complacency for too long and that it’s beyond time to create a New Earth.  

·      I believe that Mother Earth has said … that’s it! You have not been listening.  Now you’d better listen up. AND 

·      I believe with my entire being, that it’s time for us ALL to step into our power and create this New Earth.   

This is not a “new normal” … this is the shit storm before the New Normal.

But for now … we rest.  We pause.  We re-evaluate.  We come home to our hearts.  Everything outside of you is telling you that we are doomed.  That you must go and get, and hoard and keep going.  That’s not truth – it’s illusion.  Take care of you yes … take care of your family, your necessities, your health, your love… yes. But do not rush into anything as if there won’t be enough later.  There will … there is ... and there always will be.  

Pachamama is asking us to pause and we’d better listen.
Ride the wave.
Let go of your ideals ~ expectations ~ frustrations ~ 
Heal … just heal. 

And that’s what I’m doing, while tending to my own family; my own issues, my own karmic healing.  It’s deep, and I’m diving in because I want to live a New Earth for real.  I want to stop the patterns in my own life that keep showing up for clearing. I’m sick of saying “I’m too busy.”  

It’s a lie.  None of us are too busy now.

I listen to people talk about having their toddlers home all day, and how hard it is.  (Oh, how I wish my kids were little again… what a great Earth they will experience after this!)  

And how challenging it is to be in the house with teens.  (Yup, I’m there; and I’m here to hold their hearts and their hands, give them space, and set strict boundaries on keeping others safe.)  

Or what about spending “all that time” with your partner. (What I would do for an annoying partner right about now … wow.) 

And I’m witnessing my friends take care of their aging parents and wishing mine were close.  

I’m going to say something, and I hope it doesn’t rub you the wrong way … or maybe it will and that’s okay too.

What if we were supposed to be doing that all along?  How much would it benefit us all to actually find gratitude for this time.  It won’t come again you know. It just won’t; and things on the other side are going to look different.   I am grateful every day … for all of it. And my life is NOT all roses and Unicorns right now … not even close.  I’ll spare you the details but trust me when I say, I’m living in my own deepest lessons right now too.  Have a keen eye and open heart on what’s REALLY happening... beneath the surface of your day-to-day that has changed.  Stay woke.

I’m watching myself in judgment – in fear – in crisis mode – in anxiety – in depression.  Yes – depression.  And then I use my tools … not to divert, distract, deflect, or bypass. But to sit in it all … with reverence, with grace, forgiveness, compassion, and devotion to alchemize it.  I’ll send out an astrological forecast as to the why (or an idea as to maybe why) all this is happening soon …  but honestly, none of that matters if you are not connected to your heart.  The science, astrology, numerology, Enneagram, cycles of life, and all explanations of the WHY will not drop in anywhere if you do not drop into your heart first.  So do that … now.  Please.
