During these tumultuous times, it can be hard to maintain a base level of ‘okayness.’ Anytime we look at the news or social media and see another story about things going wrong, we can feel as if we’re ripped out of our equilibrium—out of our center—and into chaos. Despair, hopelessness, and a sense of anxiety has become the norm for many.

But feeling anxious or depressed or numb doesn’t have to be our base line.

Many people struggle with adapting to change. It can create fear in the body and mind. When we are triggered, many of us go into fight/flight/freeze mode.

An alternative to losing yourself to a trauma response is practicing inhabiting the heart space. Being the awareness. We are not our thinking minds. We are not our bodies. We are the awareness. And as Ram Dass so beautifully put it, we are loving awareness.

A powerful exercise to experience this loving awareness energy is to put one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly. Focus on the feeling of your hands on your body, your breath going in and out. Slow down your breathing and let yourself relax for the next 3 minutes. Bring your focus to your heart and simply breathe, letting any thoughts, feelings, and sensations pass.

Embrace the inherent love and beingness within you today and everyday. Remember you are loved beyond measure, and the truth of you IS love. It may sometimes feel as if it is underneath many layers of pain and fear and confusion, but it is always there. It is your natural state.

Breathe into your heart. In and out. And trust.  Return to love. Let go of all else. Trust the process and give it time. 

You are connected and supported and never alone. Do not give into accounts of fear or mis-guidance and misinformation. It is good to be informed, to make your own decisions, to use your mind and critical faculties to discern truth from fiction. It is not advisable to get waylaid by the current of fear and confusion that is overwhelming the planet. There are many of you who know this. Watch this storm pass, just as so many storms have passed before. You are loving awareness.
