Isolation as a Gift for You and the World
Tips to utilize your Corona Virus
isolation for spiritual growth.
The corona virus (COVID-19) is creating a
pause for us to really think about, address, and assess our lives.
This is accompanied by real issues like fears of being sick, the
ability to earn money, or having enough food. Collectively, we are
worried about our loved ones and our future.
These feelings
are further heightened as routines have been uprooted. The
familiarity of daily life has changed, especially for those with a
suddenly active home due to family or children’s routines being
halted. This can highlight a sense of frustration and powerlessness
for all members of the household. How does one live in this new and
limiting experience?
Did you know that experiencing a period
of being isolated can play an important role in the spiritual
evolution of a person? It can also have a huge positive impact on
the evolution of a collective group, and even the world.
As
our automatic rhythms and patterns have come to a halt, spiritually
we are being called to take advantage of it. Stop and listen to
ourselves. Listen to God. Observe our life and the world we live in.
Spend time in quiet reflection or meditation to reevaluate
your goals. Are you the person you want to be? Do you feel the world
is the best it can be?
Our regular daily routines helped us
maintain blinders, as it was possible to automatically move through
our day. Perhaps we didn’t notice how polluted our earth is or
didn’t take stock of the health of all parts of our being. Maybe we
didn’t take time to research or learn what can be done differently.
Know that your true self wants you to spend more time learning
about who you really are and what is most important. It wants you to
have an outwards awareness of others and their needs, which is so
important to be able to establish mutually supportive relationships.
So, as we enter this period of collective isolation, I want
to share the spiritual purpose of a stretch of isolation. It is my
hope that you will take advantage of this time to uplift yourself
and humanity.
_____________________
It’s easy for life
to have an outward focus. We are aiming for physical accomplishments
that signal we are successful or to show how obligations or
expectations have been met. We’re taught a hierarchy for decision
making that looks to others for guidance, decision making, or
wisdom. Looking inwards is far too often on the sidelines of our
lives.
When we experience an extended period of being alone
or confined, these old habit ways start to crumble. Our lifestyle,
means of personal support, and the routines that feel comfortable
can be hiding big revelations. What or who are you emotionally
dependent on? Do you interact with grace and joy with family members
and those who are most important to you?
Times of isolation
push each of us to more consistently consult the inside of self. If
this is not part of your normal routine, know that it does offer a
vehicle for you to move into personal empowerment. It spurs your
authentic nature to fully express across all aspects of your life,
and allows you to more easily communicate with the Creator and
receive divine guidance.
However, none of this can happen if
you don’t first choose to spend time with the inside of you. It can
be easy to find an excuse or reason why you don’t spend time in
reflection or meditation. You’re busy, tired, always moving to the
next task – avoiding your call to be more intimate with you.
Why not take advantage of the current ‘stay at home’ period to learn
about yourself, your family members, or the world more fully? Use
the time you’d be at the gym or yoga for personal journaling or
meditation. Use the time you would have been traveling to work or
school for really listening to family members. If you embrace this
idea, you will find many special gifts for yourself and your
relationships.
When you go inward, you’ll remember the truth
of who you really are – you are a divine spiritual being having a
challenging human experience. This can help you understand a deep
feeling of loneliness that radiates from the soul level. When one’s
soul has felt separated from the Creator for a long time, it may not
feel at home in this life experience. This can be expressed as deep
soul grief. If you’ve struggled with feelings of grief, this could
be an important puzzle piece for your understanding and growth.
Once you feel and know your soul’s hurt, you can successfully
work with it. This helps to establish a stronger resolve and
acceptance of your soul’s agreement to be here, and to spiritually
grow yourself and assist humanity to do the same. At the simplest
level, we all share that agreement. We all are called to strengthen
our trust that all is in divine order and that our soul is always
safe and protected.
This experience is necessary for your
growth, but it doesn’t end there. When you operate with a focus on
the inside of self, versus the outside, you can more easily see the
negative beliefs that have limited you. Holding negative density
inhibits your spiritual growth. Let’s thank old fears and beliefs
for showing up, allowing for their transformation. Acknowledge them
and process them, so better beliefs can take their place.
The
collective experience of isolation is a key evolutionary
opportunity. It places each of us in the pathway of facing and
processing this energy – enabling you to grow further into your
divine self. If we all choose to take advantage of it, we can change
our world.
