Due to continued lock down restrictions and the intense ‘fall out’ this has created mentally, emotionally and financially it is important to focus on the gifts that this global situation is offering us.
We are each individuals at our own crossroads of choice and there is no going back to the lives we had and this reality alone is creating deep fears and anxieties within many people.We cant see what’s around the corner because in truth there is nothing! Why? Because we only have NOW!
And as much as this may sound like a cliche, it is true and in fact very grounding and liberating when you can find a way to embrace this reality. We cannot create a ‘new way’ of living until we release the ‘old way’ and there is no way through our current dilemma other than through our personal choices on how we wish to perceive ourselves and our lives.The lives we have lost were very mentally based on planning, plotting and striving for our goals and our futures but all the while we have been slaves to our jobs, numbed down and exhausted, often not allowing the time or intent to fully savour the feelings of the moment, person or place we found ourselves experiencing. We didn’t realise how precious it was to see our families and friends and to move freely through our communities.
We are polarising ourselves against each other with fears and arguments about vaccines, racism and conspiracy theories and if we continue down this path it will swallow us up into hopelessness and helplessness and even worse heartlessness!
In this lockdown we are being invited to transform ourselves, to love ourselves and to see how precious human contact, trust and our tribe count. Our health and our healing should be our priority and there is only one place powerful enough in which this can be achieved and that is within the heart centre of every human being.
Do not concern yourself for another moment about the uncertainty of the outside world, focus fully on the uncertainties you have within yourself. Have the courage and the conviction to meet your denials and fears with love and understanding at your inner crossroads so you may discover the vast potential that you possess. Remember, your inside world creates your outside one, not the other way around. Make the choice to live a conscious life, not a chaotic one.
Untrain yourself from the conditioning of fear and transform this into faith. Dare to feel & imagine what you truly wish for yourself, not what society thinks you should have. Immerse yourself in nature to anchor into the moment, feel your feelings and ask the invisible & loving forces of the Universe to help you.
And as you are reading this in this present moment, simply become a silent witness to your breath, then your body and then your brain. Feel how full this moment really is and how OK you really are and what a miraculous experience being human is. The more you can fill your day with present & still moments the more space you allow for potentials and inspiration to arrive, while also giving presence to what really needs to be felt.
At your internal crossroads make the choice to be inspired, not down trodden, to be heartfelt not heartless. Love yourself and the world as deeply as you can and remember Covid 19 is a symptom of a humanity that has forgotten it is love and has continued to create grief by the ongoing separation of countries, races and individuals.
Its time to stop revolving in the mind and start evolving in the heart!
Otherwise the only guarantee of what you have to look forward to around the illusionary corner or shall we say the revolving door of history is more dysfunctions, diseases and despair, because these are created from the fear in the mind of our future and not the trust of the timeless heart presence.

Thanx for this, Jennifer.
When I did the “What’s around the corner?” exercise (putting the statement on my whiteboard & commenting on it every day), I laughed with joy every time I saw it.
I am so excited by the thought of letting go of the constant planning & the stress that goes with it, it makes my heart sing. Wx
