It's time to connect and create community!
As I started to emerge from a deep and intense isolation thanks to the pandemic, I realized that we are all emerging in a rather shy, awkward, and uncomfortable way. It's like we are all learning to walk again, and our legs are weak, and our muscles need strength training. This experience means figuring out how to feel seen, gather, and offer opportunities with safety and respect. It hasn't been easy, but I am finally ready to step back into the preverbal "light."
I want to share a bit of my journey in the hopes that it might spark a little something within you and allow you the opportunity to connect in new ways. I hadn't realized the impact of being told to stay home. It isn't safe to be in public and then told if you go out to stay apart, wear a mask, disinfect your hands, and wash your clothes - even with family! It shut me down, created fear that encouraged me to build walls around my heart, and caused me to go internal. The last part was a blessing. The rest was all fear, scarcity, and stress.
The stress was overwhelming, and I couldn't fully understand how it impacted my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body. It caused my body to shut down, my heart to race, my blood sugars to become unmanaged, and my brain to struggle. I was mentally challenged to keep track of things, and it caused extreme exhaustion. Emotionally, I felt overwhelmed, susceptible, criticized, fearful, dreadful, and sad. Spiritually, I grew in some ways; exploring creation, possibility, and even how to heal felt safe. My connection with the Divine expanded, and my soul took the lead.
I'm so sorry if some of this might sound familiar to you! It was NO fun and caused my life to turn inside out and upside down. Right away, I knew I needed support, so I chose alternative healing methods and several herbal/vitamin supplements. I then found a new naturopath and counselor and took a four-month leave from my day job. YEP! It got that bad even though I was working from home 100% and seeing family and friends regularly.
I took the time necessary to deepen my faith and to fully connect with the Divine Plan for my soul in this life. It's been intense, expansive and complicated! I'm not going to lie; the journey has been an inward look at my feelings of unworthiness, fear of being loved, and whether I was truly authentic. I'm beyond grateful for this journey. It's been the most important time of my life and one my soul has been preparing for my entire life.
So here comes the opportunity! It's time to gather! It's time for all of us to reconnect in new and safe ways. It's time to look into each other's eyes and share space. Let's explore tools and activities that help us feel connected. We'll build community. We'll create sacred space. We'll learn and grow together!
