Caregiving as quarantine
Since 2016 I have been in a state of quarantine, to a greater or lesser extent. In the spring of 2016, my daughters became ill, and I became a full-time caregiver from that time forward. Much of my book chronicles this journey, and so I won’t go into detail about that now. But having experienced quarantine I’ve realized there are many benefits to having the time and space to go inward. As my world became smaller by degrees I began a regular meditation practice, I set a daily schedule where I got the self-care I needed, and I learned to connect with my spiritual helpers.
There are many hard things about being stuck at home, and one is the fear of contracting Covid-19. I don’t want to minimize the many many hard things that are happening. But I do want to suggest a few tools that I have found helpful during times of quarantine.
Five strategies for staying connected to Source
Here are five strategies for staying connected to Source during the Covid-19 crisis, and beyond:
1. Get outside
Spend time outside in nature – At least 30 minutes per day is best. Take a walk, sit in your yard or garden, or just open the window. Studies show that outcomes from past virus outbreaks were significantly better for those who were treated outside, or spent time outside regularly. The sun is literally healing! Being outside also strengthens your immune system, lowers stress, and gets us out of our heads. Exercise also lowers cortisol and helps us to be more resilient.
2. Go inward
Schedule time with Spirit. We are being given a great gift now during this time of self-isolation, to slow down, go inward, and cultivate a connection with Spirit in new ways. If you’ve been hearing messages to start a spiritual practice, to meditate more, to connect with your ancestors, or whatever, now is the time to begin. Your time and energy are more spacious now because we are all driving around less, working at home, and doing fewer things. It doesn’t have to be a big effort to connect with Spirit. In fact, the best way to make progress is to do just a little each day. It adds up. The important thing is to set the intention that you wish to cultivate a connection with Spirit and to show up every day. And go ahead and meditate!
3. Use the power of the breath
Breathe. Take three deep breaths right now. Deep breathing tones the vagus nerve, which is critical for immune health and stress reduction, while oxygenating our cells for optimum function. See pp. 66-69 in my book Sacred Self-Healing for breath practices.
4. Connect with what uplifts
Connect with what is uplifting. It’s easy to become depressed by the negative news. Make a point of watching uplifting videos, listening to positive audio recordings, messaging friends, and listening to music. Check out the Daily Good and others who provide uplifting content to your inbox daily. Focus on the positive messages coming during this challenging time. For instance, the planet is being given a chance to heal because carbon emissions are down. We are being given the chance to connect more with the people we love, and to focus on what matters the most.
5. Budget your energy
Use your energy wisely. If you are an empath you are going to pick up others’ negative energies at the grocery store, from the news, and from other people’s anxiety in the world. Be judicious about when you go out for groceries. If the parking lot is packed, come back at a different time. Monitor how you feel after interacting with others and use the “Negative Energy Clearing Process” in my book on yourself and on your home regularly. If you feel you are trapped within negative energy, get outside, or take a bath.
Intention
The Sacred Self-Healing Method relies on the power of intention. Intentions are more than goals, but your co-creative participation in your life path and healing. By setting an intention you add your desire to be a partner in your destiny, in combination with the seen and unseen forces at work in the Universe. Whether you are setting an intention for a successful root canal, for finding a great new job, or for a business meeting to go well, the act of putting forethought about the outcome into the process can be a powerful tool.
Intention is the driving force behind any energy healing modality, from Reiki to sound healing to prayer.
The universal equation for healing is:
Intention + Frequency = Healing
The “frequency” part of the equation is whatever healing modality is being used.
Intention can be used in health healing, job search, fitness, relationships, and pretty much everything.
