Peace of mind, peace of heart

People in panic, no peace of mind. Media focused on one topic: global pandemic. Media telling all who check their websites, that it is all alarming, and very dangerous, that there is no cure yet…

Well, so many of us may feel worried, frightened, scared and in panic. Some of my friends even told me that their future is certain, as they have asthma, and other health problems. But is this true?

No.

In every challenge hides its solution

First of all, the state of panic weakens your immune system. What to do instead: calm down, meditate, and sleep a lot, have good food, hug others, help others.

Second, if you feel deeply worried, check the statistics. See how to protect yourself and others. Perhaps the danger is truly created by the media, telling you to focus on the virus. But there are wonderful things going on at the same time. Our current situation is not just about a virus. Virus is just a part of the current stream of events. One time a wonderful spiritual teacher told me that the material world is only 2% of what truly is. And when we experience life, we see only a small part of what is out there. When you focus on cooking a dinner, you cannot paint at the same time. Moreover, your focus chooses something.

Third: In this short post, I wanted to tell you something very profound: if you see your friends and family panicking, if they start acting strange, being angry, frightened, even angry towards you… just stop. Instead of responding with anger, or feeling attacked, or trying to protect yourself… see that maybe, just maybe, their behavior is not about you, but about themselves experiencing panic. Panic is a deeply disturbing feeling, that can change the way people see and feel. Read more about emotional independence now.

Instead of feeling fear, anger or disappointment, you may try…. to feel compassion, love, peace of mind and care. We all need it now.
