Going Viral

Hi everyone! I apologize in advance for the long post that covers a lot of topics, but eventually, everything connects 😉(And there’s a free download at the end!)

This week I was shocked when I woke to pictures on Facebook of my former neighborhood in east Nashville ripped to shreds by a F-4 tornado. The last two of the homes I lived in were in the direct path. The night before, at the exact time it was happening, I was extremely dizzy, nauseous, and disoriented.

Is it possible that I was somehow feeling the tornado in my body thousands of miles away…

As we’ve been engulfed by the news of the coronavirus, I’ve been dealing with the shingles virus 🥵 For any of you who have experienced it, you know it lives up to its reputation. I got through it without too much complaining 😜, but was left with nerve damage causing severe vertigo symptoms. The good news is that I’m on the other side of it and improving daily 🙌

The virus hit right around the same time the coronavirus starting making headlines coinciding with the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in January. My Sun was at the same degree as the Saturn-Pluto conjunction opposing my 1st house of the physical body. So while I thankfully don’t have the coronavirus or anything contagious, I’ve had my own version of being self-quarantined because driving greatly induced the symptoms.  

And so I’ve been forced to simply be still.

It’s no coincidence that the coronavirus is causing us to do this collectively. As events are being canceled and air travel trips are being questioned, much of the world is forced to pause, be still, and stay home.

This virus is inconveniently bringing balance to the excess, economic bloat, and over-production of yang energy, globally. Nature will always bring balance in whatever way it needs through the Five Elements Cycle. The same is true for all of us. Leading up to the virus, I was in overdrive. Between my racing thoughts, deflections from grief, and over-production, I was out of balance. 

During the last two months of forced stillness, I’ve meditated a lot, learned to receive what comes rather than chase the unknown, processed backlogged grief, learned to ground into Mother Earth on a new level, and undergone an overall detox of my mind and body. My body has been averse to alcohol, sugar, and dairy, while negative thoughts seem more like strangers than acquaintances.

I’ll never know what caused the heightened disorientation the night of the tornado, but I do know that our spaces hold our energy even after we’ve moved.  

Space clearing a home upon moving in has become more common, but what about our own energy that we’ve left in spaces?

Several years ago, I was shown this in a dream where I went back to a former home and realized I had left a candle burning. It was a small ember, and yet it was still burning and represented my energy. 

This was again confirmed a few years later when I subleased an apartment in LA from a guy living in NY that I’d never met. When his current life began showing up in my dreams, I realized a part of his energy was still in my space. 

From this realization, I developed a guided meditation called Soul Retrieval Through Space to reclaim your energy from spaces you’ve lived in before. It is available for sale and download from my website, but you can link here to download it for free.

If my recovery the last two months is any indication of our collective recovery from the coronavirus, the best medicine is slowing down, reducing stress, and coming home to what’s truly important.

These are the building blocks of a healthy immune system.Because we are all connected, each of us finding our own balance will help bring us collectively back into balance.

Sending everyone healing energy from the Virgo Full Moon 🌕
