For many people, the sudden pause due to the Covid-19 Virus is causing some severe discomfort, fear, boredom, and loneliness. In a bid to protect ourselves, whether consciously or not, many of us tend to harden and become critical and impatient with our emotional processes. Our coping mechanisms may fall into judgment of self or others, or we may shut down. By responding in this way, an authentic dynamic flow of who we really are, along with our unique interconnectedness, gets blocked. Enjoy this “taste” to explore how being present with discomfort fuels a path through our pain, fear, aversion, and laziness to kindness for ourselves and others. Experience mindful self-compassion as not only a phenomenal tool for moving through these less than comfortable times, but also as a key to a deeper and more positive transformation overall.
