The Insightful Perk In My Quarantine.
Ive had a LOT of time at home during this pandemic lockdown, going on 7 weeks of not being aloud to work & still seeing some of the optimism behind all of it. It has been work for me to unwind the minds perception of this horrible, draining situation as I constantly remind myself that eventually this too shall pass. I rebuilt myself over the last 15 years to accommodate & survive things that I personally cant control on my own, leaning into the flow of this universal course instead.I have enlisted as a form of internal healthy vibration a daily morning mantra, using the Diamoku Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, also know as The Lotus Sutra, in hopes of sending out my vibration with its positive action for good causes. I stumbled upon it by listening to a lecture that spoke of the benefits of doing such, so I figured WHY NOT, I have nothing to loose & only abundance to gain by it. This mantra has also given me some enthusiasm in creating a line of Malas, MagicalMaven Prayer Beads, for my online shop @ Magicalmaven.myshopify.com. I think there is something really beautiful about this sacred talisman & the action of intention while using them. I just ordered more beads to accommodate this inspiration that came of my having to stay home, since we are now extended to the end of May.As a self employed manicurist for the last 23 years I haven't ever really had the time to grow out my own nails, maintaining them short for work purpose. I cant stop looking at how beautiful they have become, while loving the sound of them clicking on the keyboard as I type. With all the harsh chemical & solutions that I work with, my hands are thanking me as they recover from the years of abuse that I have put them through. This is has been a huge perk of the quarantine.People have continue to randomly checked in on my husband & I, knowing we are without our incomes as we are both self employed in client/ patient business. Some calls came from the least expected, making sure we are able to provide for ourselves & to see if we needed anything. This pandemic time has made me value some things that I might have taken for granted & for this I am grateful that we are surrounded by some really good, kind, thoughtful loving people. Thank you <3Time has been of no real value to me now gaging the suns position for the time of day, freeing my wrist that accommodated my watch 24 hours a day since I was a teenager. I have realized nothing will really happen to me if I surrender this addiction to time & management, setting free & releasing this idea, notion & need that ended up being a learned behavior & not one I need to maintain like I once felt I used to have too.I think there are some very beautiful things that are going to be coming out of this worldly predicament, if you can allow yourself to see past the obvious & extend your preifereal vision. Sometimes we are granted by Mother Earth a way to reinstate our physical, spiritual, monetary value, worth & time, awakening us up as a collective whole in the human species if we are able to pay attention. While the Earth is recovering & healing from our despicable humanely ways, will we is the question, be able one day as a specie to do the same. Peace Love Faith Hope
