quadro_bikeI am positive a lot of have been asking: Why Covid? Why so globally? Why now? And I have addressed some of these concerns in preceding articles. But at that time I wasn’t speaking from expertise, I was just sharing my theories about it without having getting verified them in practical terms. Well, now I have verified at least a single of these theories, and I am eager to share it.
We have all heard about connectedness and oneness, and how Covid is (hopefully) bringing us a step closer to those experiences, seeing how we are all in this together. But then again, are we definitely all in this together? Personally, I am not so certain about that searching at the controversies in government policies (especially in countries where elections are taking place for the duration of the pandemic), the push-backs from the public against restrictions (not a lot of us are willingness to sacrifice our “valuable” routines for the higher very good), and a lot more lately – the distribution of vaccines (these who pay much more get much more).
So what are we missing? When and how are we finally going to discover the lesson? And what is that lesson?
Actually, Covid provides us an obvious clue both about the What we have to have to find out and the How. What Covid patients practical experience and in some instances die from is lack of air. And air is the incredibly point that connects us all. To use one of Jessica Dibb’s observations, we can create an in-group and an out-group (i.e. manifest separation) primarily based on race, profession, gender, age, social characteristics, looks, etc. But there is one particular widespread denominator which, when applied, leads us automatically to oneness – the breath. Thus, no matter what beliefs, traumas and preferences we have, we all belong to the group of breathers. And the breath (which, as I have come to experience, is the embodiment of Spirit), is what connects us all and offers us the physical, somatic experience of oneness. BUT only if we spend attention to it!
Surprise, surprise – Covid is bringing our focus and awareness exactly to the breath. As such, Covid is asking us to start out living a extra spiritually oriented life: a life exactly where we are certainly more connected, a life lived in the NOW. Importantly, by bringing our focus to the breathing, Covid is not only showing us the lesson we need to find out, i.e. the lesson of oneness it is also displaying us how we can understand mentioned lesion, and that’s basically by staying focused on the breath and practicing conscious breathing.
With out a doubt, conscious breathing is what can give us a direct spiritual knowledge (albeit in physical bodies). rapid test that via being forced (following finding infected with Covid) to pay focus to the breath. Not that I hadn’t dabbled in a variety of yoga and meditation practices before. But this time the shift in awareness was so profound! Armed with a somewhat survival-driven motivation at the beginning of the disease, I dove deep into a variety of breathing strategies, and the far more intimately I got to know conscious breathing, the more my expertise of separation was dissolving. I was feeling so a great deal lighter, happier and, of course, much more connected. I was receiving the lesson! Additional importantly, I was healing a illness not brought on by Covid but merely highlighted by it.
Sadly, I assume the complete planet is sick with that same disease – the illness of Separation. Therefore, we have a worldwide pandemic. This pandemic has managed to highlight in a brilliant way the pervasiveness of the pathology we all suffer from, the breathlessness and lack of connectedness all through the globe. Covid is just the red light right here signaling we need to have to repair the engine. And it’s not going away in a hurry, at least not until we all develop into conscious of the genuine trouble and get started taking the right action towards resolving it. The genuine issue, certainly, is a profound spiritual disconnect. We, as a planet, have reached the hallmark of Separation. Therefore, Covid is screaming at us: “Use the breath, folks, and connect!”
On the face of it, I wholeheartedly encourage you to seek out some conscious breathing practices and start out incorporating them in your life (if you have not currently). Talking about oneness doesn’t support you feel it. Conscious breathing, on the other hand, requires us straight to the physical knowledge of oneness, to the embodiment of spirituality. Attempt it for your self and I am certain you will under no circumstances look back. It only requires a handful of conscious breaths to change your point of view, and a distinctive point of view opens doors to new, thrilling and limitless possibilities.
