We individually and collectively are now experiencing a "new normal". Adjusting to this new normal has many phases of consciousness, similar to those of the grieving process, beginning with shock/denial and moving onto to fear/anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. And, just as in the grieving process, those steps are not linear and you may find yourself moving forward and backward from each step. In a sense we all are grieving and mourning a loss-a loss of our old life, whether it was what we really wanted or not. Moreover, this new normal which involves isolating ourselves can bring up buried trauma from your past. Today, allow yourself to experience whatever comes to you and to feel all your feelings. You and I are collectively awakening and it is important that we stay awake, process our feelings and know that we will emerge from this challenging time healed and ready to begin anew, in our new normal.

Just for today, I will feel my grief but will not wallow in it. I will feel all my feelings, not just the ones I like. When I allow myself to grieve, I am allowing myself to heal. All things are unfolding as they are supposed to. I allow love to guide my Life. I am divinely guided, protected and loved. I love life and Life loves me. I am healed and so it is.
