Despite all the challenges they bring, the extraordinary times we are experiencing offer us a fantastic opportunity. This is our opportunity to stop, connect, and ultimately discover what we have been looking for. It’s an opportunity for healing, forgiveness, and purification.
Under normal conditions, we frequently become absorbed with our daily lives and even fabricate reasons to be “out there” and busy. We never find a second or a means to stop, engage in deep contemplation, and probe our inner reality. We drain and deplete our energy over time, much like a battery does.
We have a chance to change this now that a significant portion of the world is at a standstill.Despite all the challenges they bring, the extraordinary times we are experiencing offer us a fantastic opportunity.

Also, it alters how we interact with others. Although before we sought for the affection, acceptance, and companionship of others, we now take pleasure in a sense of safety, security, and tranquility. In these interactions, we provide a higher energy and the neediness of the past vanishes.
Our thoughts become more optimistic, open, and responsive. This is a significant shift in consciousness, and in order to implement it, we must have access to instruments of strength, discernment, tolerance, and adaptation. But there’s always a chance we can get back in touch with the Divine and expand our ability.Regularly taking time out of daily activities allows me to reconnect for a few moments. As I return to my inner sanctuary, I tap into the original, pure energy that gives me so much power.
And before signing off at the end of the day, a final meditation allows me to check my spiritual pulse and bring the mind to rest by putting aside any worries or preoccupations.
By making God part of my life in this way, and sharing my heart with Him, I prepare for whatever may come.
