I am positive quite a few have been asking: Why Covid? Why so globally? Why now? And I have addressed some of these inquiries in prior articles. But at that time I wasn’t speaking from practical experience, I was basically sharing my theories about it without having having verified them in sensible terms. Effectively, now I have verified at least one of these theories, and I am eager to share it.

We have all heard about connectedness and oneness, and how Covid is (hopefully) bringing us a step closer to these experiences, seeing how we are all in this together. But then again, are we genuinely all in this with each other? Personally, I am not so certain about that looking at the controversies in government policies (specifically in nations where elections are taking place for the duration of the pandemic), the push-backs from the public against restrictions (not a lot of us are willingness to sacrifice our “valuable” routines for the higher good), and far more recently – the distribution of vaccines (these who pay more get more).

So what are we missing? When and how are we lastly going to study the lesson? And what is that lesson?

Essentially, Covid gives us an clear clue both about the What we need to have to find out and the How. What Covid patients encounter and in some circumstances die from is lack of air. And air is the quite point that connects us all. To use 1 of Jessica Dibb’s observations, we can create an in-group and an out-group (i.e. manifest separation) primarily based on race, profession, gender, age, social traits, looks, etc. But there is a single frequent denominator which, when applied, leads us automatically to oneness – the breath. Thus, no matter what beliefs, traumas and preferences we have, we all belong to the group of breathers. And the breath (which, as I have come to knowledge, is the embodiment of Spirit), is what connects us all and provides us the physical, somatic experience of oneness. BUT only if we pay interest to it!

Surprise, surprise – Covid is bringing our focus and awareness specifically to the breath. As such, Covid is asking us to get started living a a lot more spiritually oriented life: a life exactly where we are certainly extra connected, a life lived in the NOW. Importantly, by bringing our concentrate to the breathing, Covid is not only displaying us the lesson we need to have to learn, i.e. the lesson of oneness it is also displaying us how we can find out stated lesion, and that’s simply by staying focused on the breath and practicing conscious breathing.

Devoid of a doubt, conscious breathing is what can give us a direct spiritual practical experience (albeit in physical bodies). I personally learnt that by means of becoming forced (right after obtaining infected with Covid) to pay consideration to the breath. Not that www.medcare.org hadn’t dabbled in several yoga and meditation practices just before. But this time the shift in awareness was so profound! Armed with a somewhat survival-driven motivation at the beginning of the illness, I dove deep into a variety of breathing approaches, and the more intimately I got to know conscious breathing, the extra my expertise of separation was dissolving. I was feeling so a lot lighter, happier and, of course, more connected. I was acquiring the lesson! A lot more importantly, I was healing a disease not brought on by Covid but merely highlighted by it.

Sadly, I think the entire planet is sick with that identical disease – the disease of Separation. Therefore, we have a worldwide pandemic. This pandemic has managed to highlight in a brilliant way the pervasiveness of the pathology we all endure from, the breathlessness and lack of connectedness all through the globe. Covid is just the red light here signaling we need to fix the engine. And it’s not going away in a hurry, at least not until we all come to be conscious of the actual problem and begin taking the right action towards resolving it. The real issue, certainly, is a profound spiritual disconnect. We, as a planet, have reached the hallmark of Separation. Therefore, Covid is screaming at us: “Use the breath, people, and connect!”

On the face of it, I wholeheartedly encourage you to seek out some conscious breathing practices and start off incorporating them in your life (if you haven’t already). Speaking about oneness doesn’t aid you feel it. Conscious breathing, on the other hand, requires us straight to the physical knowledge of oneness, to the embodiment of spirituality. Try it for yourself and I am confident you will never look back. It only requires a handful of conscious breaths to modify your point of view, and a unique point of view opens doors to new, exciting and limitless possibilities.
