Coping with coronavirus"},"content":{"rendered":"<h4>A reflection by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/soulsurferbrilhante\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carole de Travieso<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #46c4d9;\">Relax, nothing is under control.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This is what I am saying to myself, and what I am telling you now.<br \/>\nIt has been quite a roller coaster of emotions these last 3 weeks. Overwhelming. Scary sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>In our western society, we are always thinking that whatever is out of control, is bad\u2026and we panic\u2026and panic\u2026 Buddism, on the contrary, has an interesting approach to it.<br \/>\nThey say: Relax, everything is out of control. The idea of change, of something that does not last forever, and that we are not in control\u2026how does it make you feel?<br \/>\nAnd how do you react in situations like these\u2026? How important is it to be in the present moment\u2026regardless of what happens?<\/p>\n<p><strong>And oh my, don&#039;t you think we have a big lesson to learn here? <\/strong>Some say that, in every crisis there are also opportunities.\u00a0So what if we had the opportunity to learn something big here?<br \/>\nWhat if humanity could change drastically and for the better?<br \/>\nWhether you believe in it or not, the potential is there.<br \/>\nSome amazing things have been happening around us, while the earth is resting&#8230;and yes, resting from us. Pollution went down, dolphins are back in Venise and so many more things that all of us are happy with, right?But to change, and see a better world, we would need to sacrifice certain things. Change our habits radically. Are you willing to do so?<\/p>\n<p>Whether you think God is punishing us, earth putting some balance back or the universe giving us a lesson, the fact is that we are responsible for what is happening now. Humanity is yes. Our way of living, thinking, reacting to things\u2026etc has consequences and we knew them. We are aware of the damage we do to our planet, and still we carry on\u2026<br \/>\nWe are so selfish that we think: why change? \u00abOne person does not change things\u00bb so we keep taking our cars, go to the supermarket, buy things we don&#039;t really need etc etc<br \/>\nBut that is where it is wrong. We can change the world. It starts with one person. And it gets contagious, like a virus, yes!<\/p>\n<p>So the question is:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Are we going to grab the opportunity we have today?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Are we going to stop certain things like going to zoos, take so many plans, live selfishly, buy unnecessary stuff and feed into our heartless consumption oriented society?<\/p>\n<p>Our system actually works against us to do so. It wants us to go back to where we were\u2026to our ordinary, egocentric and controlled life. The one that disconnects you from all other beings, the earth\u2026and yourself. Why? Because that is how the system survives. We feed into it. We have been feeding the beast\u2026(the beast we have created) and now that the beast is wounded though, we have the opportunity to really change, for the better.<\/p>\n<p>Another fact is that this pandemic has <strong>clarified our values.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aren&#039;t we aware now of what is really important in life? Are you still interested in what a big brand of clothing will come up with next summer? Or are you spending your days thinking how to get more followers to feed your ego?<br \/>\nThis trauma, this shock we are all leaving, is showing us what is really important.<br \/>\nSo yeah it&#039;s a learning moment. A reaffirmation for some of what we knew\u2026a discovery for others.<br \/>\nWhatever it is, we will get out stronger, wiser and more loving then any other time. Or so we should\u2026.and I hope we will! So just some things to think about.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>But, no matter what, let me give you an advice, and it is very important:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Do not let fear control your mind and actions.<\/p>\n<p>I invite you to let LOVE into your hearts, and let it be the master of your mind, and life.<br \/>\nI invite you to re-discover your humanity, to re-connect to mother earth, and all its beings. My soulsister and business partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tanjarosenkranz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tanja Rosenkranz<\/a> and I, have started a week ago <strong>free<\/strong> online yoga sessions and meditations that will help you with this.

You can also read <a href=\"\/en\/?p=22916\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tanja&#039;s word HERE.<\/a><br \/>\nIn the next days and weeks, we will also post and do meditations to help with our fears and anxiety.<br \/>\nSo keep tune with our social media \ud83d\ude42 and contact us to register our online <a href=\"\/en\/?page_id=1452\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FREE classes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, Love will always be the answer.<br \/>\nYou have proof today that nothing else matters more than that.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that once all this has passed, we won&#039;t forget\u2026<br \/>\nStay safe and stay grounded.<br \/>\nSending you love and light,<\/p>\n<p>Carole.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A reflexion by Carole de Travieso.
