Home Environment Makeover

by Elizabeth Saigal

The main content of this post is about our home environmental experience under the COVID-19 social distancing requirements.

But first, I want to shout out to the people who are on the front lines every day. A heartfelt THANK YOU to those of you risking infection to keep vital services running.

We really appreciate what you are doing and I know what I am about to talk about is not your reality.

Along with you, we pray for supplies that allow you to do your jobs safely and intelligent management and treatment protocols that reduce the numbers of COVID-19 fatalities.

For those who are not essential workers, like me, our reality is spending more time at home This means we are confronted with the piles of things in our dwelling that we have been meaning to attend to for oh so long.

How are you maintaining or seeking to raise your vibration at this time? The COVID-19 pandemic is unnerving and is bringing us face to face with our mortality. It is reminding us of our place in the cosmos as a part of life. As opposed to where we mistakenly place ourselves at the pinnacle of life. However, this provides us with opportunities for spiritual connection.

This realization that we really have very little control is very frightening. However, we have a choice in how we receive it. One option is to allow this fear to dictate our actions and choices. Another option is to look for the ways that this experience can enrich who we are becoming.

The first option is largely unconscious, we feel bad and look for solutions to ease that pain. The second option allows us to observe how we respond. We have the opportunity to move into a place of surrender in the moment and trust in ourselves and our ability to act from a place of love and compassion.
