Caring for Your Mind, Body, Soul and Spirit during the CORONAVIRUS Pandemic
In the wake of the COVID-19 virus, please take all necessary precautions to protect you and your family. This includes guarding your hearts and minds from hysteria, panic and dread that is spreading even faster than the virus itself. It is vital that while we use wisdom in our everyday practices to minimize contagion, we also need to remain relatively calm so that we do not flood our brains and bodies with cortisol and adrenaline. This will only create a deeper level of chaos and dis-ease. Here are a few practical tips to support you and your family during these precarious times.
You can find general safety precautions, real time updates and statistics on news outlet and government agency sites. I have included the links at the bottom of the page.
