Knowing how to cope with pandemics can keep you calm and help you stay healthy. In fact, you are wise to keep a positive perspective, while facing the reality of any crisis. This helps you get through.
When the Coronavirus first arrived in 2020, was concerned about its intensity in the world. Soon after, while in a meditative state, I asked my guides what to expect. Suddenly, the word “rage” popped in and I was given an image of this virus raging through populations. Some countries managed to get it under control and some struggled.
In the beginning, my country, Australia, got through with restrictions and zero tolerance, while Britain and a few others utilised vaccines. However, new variants bought more infections, so the virus still posed a threat. Whatever happened with vaccines and new variants, our leaders had to face the challenges of a pandemic.
During the corona virus pandemic, I had an opportunity to observe various reactions people took to the threat. Some gave into panic (e.g. hoarding), some became anxious (e.g. making critical comments accusing others of not taking the virus seriously enough), some denied any danger (e.g. saying, “it’s a hoax” or “I don’t care if I get it”) and some stayed calm.
Stories from 2020 that illustrate reactions
Sally, a client of mine, told me what happened when she was visiting one of her clients, the manager of a grocery store. A customer, mistaking her for management, started abusing Sally because there was no toilet paper. Sally just stood there, puzzled at this woman’s panicked state. Then she calmly responded with her truth, “I really don’t understand.” The woman paused for a moment and looked at her. “Do you realise,” Sally said, “that we have running water in our homes. If you don’t have any toilet paper, you can wash yourself.” The women woman’s eyes widened a little as she popped out of her fearful trance. “Ahh! I never thought of that,” she said.
In another situation, a friend shared a phone conversation she had with her adult son. She wanted to know his feelings about the coronavirus. “Oh! I’m not worried at all,” he exclaimed offhandedly, “it only kills old people!” My friend and her husband are in their late seventies. “That’s us,” she said slowly. An uncomfortable silence fell between them.
How to cope with pandemics
Whenever we face a crisis, there is a middle path between panic on the one hand and denial on the other. This means accepting reality while still staying genuinely calm. Here is some information you need to consider:
- Whether you know or not, you are an eternal being.
- Your body might die but your consciousness does not.
- Existential fear comes from not knowing who you really are.
- Realise the beings in charge of this planet have a plan.
- All the challenges you face are happening for your expansion.
- You are here to learn and grow in wisdom.
- Denying and resisting what is happening just makes things harder.
- The key is accepting reality as it is.
- That means finding the trust to know that all is for the long-term, greater good.
But how?
By doing whatever you need to do to find that trust. Listening, reading, exploring, praying, meditating and asking for guidance. Hopefully we can all make time for doing that.
Here are a couple of simple examples of trust and purpose from two of my clients:
Tommy
Tommy came to see me five years ago for a life between lives regression. A few months ago, he sent me an email. This is an extract of what he wrote, now shared with his permission.
Yesterday, I was a little concerned as to the way the world was going as I have very little reserves as a self-employed electrician. I walked along the beach front feeling a little sad for myself.
Then, I got a call for a simple job which turned out to be a good job. Soon after, another call came in. You might remember my guide’s name is Abel, as in Cain and Abel. Just then, he appeared with a half-blackened face. Well, while I was walking on the beach front, I thought about what he had told me, that I would never go without what I need.
When I arrived at that second job, to my surprise the street name was “ABLE.” That is close enough to a reassuring sign for me.”
Tommy knows he is being looked after no matter what happens. His trust will keep him calm whatever unfolds.
Here is another example:
Sally
Sally, who you met before in the grocery store story, came see me looking to understand her purpose this life. She was struggling with a negative, controlling, micromanaging boss. In this job, she has clients who she regularly visits. Whenever the boss wants to see her, he demands she cancel any conflicting client appointment. “My time is more important than theirs,” he insists.
Sally was head-hunted for her present job and, although she has applied for other jobs, no job has been forthcoming. After many futile job applications, she senses she is meant to stay in her present job.
I feel that work is a great distraction from how I want to be, and I don’t know how to assimilate the two lifestyles. How can I best integrate my life purpose into my work life?
During the regression, we explore her fear of aggression. At any time, her emotionally insecure boss could demand of her something that is difficult and challenging.
In the session. we discover her fear goes all the way back to a past life. In that life, the soul of her current boss held the power of life and death over her. We work through the emotions of the past life. Now, Sally finds a more positive perspective on the past life, with a focus on its benefits and lessons.
Any time her current boss intimidates her, I suggest she recall the past life and implement what she learnt from it. She is freed automatically by being aware of this connection and her innate power. In truth, anyone who acts like her boss is not powerful at all. Underneath, he is weak and insecure and that’s why he throws his weight around.
Conclusion
Free and confident, Sally can carry on with her work as she always enjoyed helping her clients. Obviously, her skills and positive personal power are an asset to her clients and the organisation. Happily, Sally knows she is exactly where she needs to be.
hen pandemics hit, they are challenging for all of us. At this time, the world is smaller and we are all more closely connected. In past pandemics, some countries were overwhelmed, suffering many casualties. Others suffered economic hardship but avoided overwhelming their medical system and many deaths. However, there will always be loss in one form or another, whatever we do. Our only power is how we respond. Do we respond with fear or do we respond with calm and confidence?
Fear motivates us into denial and anxiety. When we are fearful, our fear comes from our personal history. This history can be uncovered and resolved. This is the journey within. Although this journey takes determination and courage, it is tremendously worthwhile. You gain self-awareness, inner peace and the knowledge that you are always loved and looked after.
