This new virus/contagion….is love and compassion!!!
I was going to just leave it with the words virus/contagion, however it seemed scary. Take a moment a simply notice what happened in your body just looking at those words. Next take a moment to notice your thoughts around those words. Now notice the emotions those words invoked. This is what has been happening to humanity for over a year now. Fear. Fear is just a prayer for what we don’t want. “To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom” Bertrand Russel.
Now notice when you read the word Love. What happens in your body? What happens in your thoughts? What happens as you allow yourself to feel Love?
Now try on the word Compassion. What happens in your body? What happens in your mind? When you allow yourself to feel compassion?
Very different experiences aren’t they? For almost 2 years now we have been programmed with fear. Studies show that even 5 minutes of feeling anger/fear etc reduces the effectiveness of your immune system. We all need to shift this for optimal functioning. Here is a study https://www.heartmath.org/research/research-library/basic/physiological-and-psychological-effects-of-compassion-and-anger/
Right now in these Holy days, the planet is ripe to bring in more of the vibrations of Love and Compassion!
I have learned I can influence my own biology and physiology if I am willing to simply notice what am I thinking/feeling. Then asking myself “does this drain my energy or enhance and vitalize it”?
Here is another study to show how we impact each other:https://www.heartmath.org/research/research-library/coherence/new-frontiers-in-hrv-and-social-coherence-research/
How do we co-create a more beautiful world our hearts all know is possible? It is by changing our “energy” and change your life! We all have the power to change our thoughts/emotions anytime we want. It is a Choice.
The heart is the portal. When we consciously change the pattern the heart is sending to the brain we can influence so much in our brains, which influence how we perceive the world. A change of heart changes everything!!!
So, when you notice fear/anger/worry etc, choose another emotion! Try Love, Compassion, Joy,or Peace.
If you are willing, place your hand on your heart. This begins to upregulate oxytocin, and brings our attention to our hearts. Next breathe. Try breathing into the count of 5 and out to the count of 5. It does not matter if you choose 4 in and 4 out or 6 in 6 out. The point is to make it an even in and out to create coherence in your system. Once activate this pattern of breath, then activate a “renewing” feeling. Try Love, Compassion, Joy etc. Stay with this for 3-5 minutes.
You now have changed your biology that will serve your brain, immune system and heart!
Now to serve humanity if you wish, radiate this “energy” out into the community, your family, your friends, your co-workers. Enjoy the miracles this creates!!!
Candace Pert wrote a wonderful book “Molecules of Emotions” proving that our emotions influence our biology.
Dr. David Hawkins wrote “Power vs Force” is another wonderful book. If we look at Love is vibrates at 500!! If we look at fear it vibrates at 100!! Which do you think would serve you and humanity more? Aim for Love and above.
