Healing in the Days of Corona: Essentials for Happiness

Healing in the days of Corona means entering Unknown territory. Nothing is more essential than your happiness in this strangely changing time.

First essential for happiness is that the Body must be kept safe and informed. Without our health, we are lost. Hopefully we’ve learned some common sense for life. That involves educating ourselves from many sources and then making a personal decision of how to live. Also, if we’ve made a bad decision, we must trust ourselves enough to shift and make a right one. Life is fluid these days. This is unprecedented territory. Stay safe, stay home, stay smart rules the day.

Secondly, healing in the days of corona requires a partnering with Nature. Nature provides us with a much needed dose of inspiration. Bodies and spirits thrive by getting outside, walking the land, breathing the air, feeling the Earth beneath our feet. These acts take us back to our most ancient self. Even just observing through a window fills us with a calm energy. Engaging all the senses grounds in mindfulness.

Thirdly, Coming Home to Art instills a deep peace as we create from our heart. Making art takes us on the inner journey, a return to our true home of intuition, feelings, and love.

Come Home to Art

This third is the Artist’s Way. For some reason, you stop doing art and creativity when you need it the most. Art moves energy that is stuck in fear, sadness, and grief. Instead of overwhelm, you must consciously step into the sanctuary of your Truth. This is the path to balance.

Your Heart knows what you need. It’s times like these when the best thing you can do for yourself is focus in on what’s valuable and meaningful to you.

For me, making art has such a deep calming effect. I feel filled with peace, and very present in the moment. My body moves in some memory of what it has done before, without thinking. A magic happens that surprises me in the making.

Doing Art Creates Beauty

Best of all, creative energy ripples out into the Universe. Everything is energy. The more you come from a place of peace, beauty and love, the more this radiates out into the world, and to those around you.

Make a conscious change today. Move away from the mind, thinking, worrying, sad place. Instead enter the heart, the imagination, the inspirational land of the spirit. Create your art, whatever that may be, and go deep withing the inner journey. Make this time a new beginning for your artistic life and go there often. Imagine if all artists did this every day, if we each ignited creative rising energy with beautiful art, if we moved our minds out of the abyss and into the light, we just might heal the madness.
