Five Ways To Survive These Challenging Times
How are you navigating these challenging times?
When you come out of a blissful meditation and are knocked sideways within five minutes, what then?
How do you deflect the anxiety you see in your family, on the road, in the grocery store, in yourself?
If everyone you run into seems overwhelmed, afraid, or in grief, how can you maintain your equanimity?
The wisdom and practice of ancient cultures offer balm and guidance. I draw on them because, like everyone, I don’t have answers. You may “know” these five ways; this is a reminder to put them into practice!
What’s most important: You have a sacred calling. You have special gifts you bring to the world. If you are off balance your gifts won’t flow.
Help yourself get back on track with these five simple ways of surviving and thriving.
Letting go of regret frees you to be and do as much as you can in this moment.
Connecting with the lighter, more refined energy of dreams and visions will help you feel better, stronger, more clear. Then you can get back to being in the world with a big heart.
It’s a big challenge! Just this morning a friend and I spoke about her fear. She said, “Yes, it makes sense to release my fear.” Yet five minutes later she was railing again, fueling her anxiety instead of her vision. Habits!
You can feed these small moments that have big repercussions—the butterfly effect brought into our daily lives.

Survive and Thrive: 1
Whatever calming practices work for you, do them more often.

Take stretching breaks.
Go outside and notice the beautiful sky.
Breathe deeply, consciously drawing in fresh air and blowing out the old.

Release, consciously, whatever is weighing you down.
For example:When you see the waning full moon each night (right now, and for another week), set your own intent to minimize something in your life that weighs you down.
Breathe your heaviness into the sun to transform, or into the air to float away.
Lie flat on the earth and let everything go; then draw in the nourishing energy of the Mother.
Apologize if you lose it. The recipient is probably just as stressed as you, and will appreciate being able to forgive and forget.
