With so much news about COVID-19, I invested Saturday afternoon in researching “COVID-19 Good News” to create some truth serum amidst all the news.
This communication is both practice and prayer at this time to dissolve crisis consciousness and stay truly conscious at this time, where we will do more good for both ourselves and humanity.
There is no doubt that COVID-19 is real and that situations in parts of the world are going to get worse, before they get better. Conditions will get better, given that the pandemic is showing signs of easing in China.
We all have loved ones that are being affected and may they all be Blessed.
There is plenty of information available stating that 98% of people who contract the virus will survive it and most fatalities are among people with underlying medical issues that include; cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, hypertension and cancer.
Crisis consciousness contributes to hypertension and they could be one in the same.
What we are going through isn’t a surprise. Somewhere in our minds, we have all known for a while now that we are vulnerable to a global emergency that could be triggered by cyberattacks, pandemics or wars.
The media inundates us every day with news about actual or potential cyberattacks, pandemics or wars. Media has an important role to play to dispense accurate information without over sensationalizing headlines and churning the same content triggering people’s deepest fears in the process.
Are we supersizing our own fear?
While it’s important to stay informed and follow advice provided by WHO and the CDC (wash your hands, social distancing, don’t touch your face, etc.) to combat this new virus and flatten the curve, we can become overwhelmed with information. We have more information at our fingertips than ever before and it’s being delivered to us in real time though TV, radio, Instagram, internet, and Twitter, just to name a few. We’re scared.
For the first time in history, we are experiencing a pandemic 24/7/365 real time in the news which isn’t helping our immune system to combat crisis unconsciousness and hypertension.
We all handle crisis differently. Some wash their hands, some buy toilet paper, some talk out their stress with associates, friends and families, some are glued to the news and some journal.
There are good and bad ways to handle stress.
There are True Conscious Mindful and Crisis Unconsciousness Mindless ways to handle stress.
Mindfulness and prayer are keys to growth mindset and brain plasticity. After continued practices of mindfulness or prayer, MRI scans show the brain’s “fight or flight” center, the amygdala, appears to shrink. … As the amygdala shrinks, the prefrontal cortex – associated with higher order brain functions such as awareness, concentration, decision-making, faith and values – becomes thicker.
True Consciousness resides in the prefrontal cortex.
Crisis Unconsciousness, hypertension and stress has a lot to do with the amygdala’s heightened sense of mortality.
Mortality has to do with the amygdala’s fear of the unknown, lack of information and at the amygdala’s core, a lack of worth.
The fear of the unknown stimulates the amygdala, to gain more and more information, to know if it is vulnerable or less vulnerable, just to do something, to medicate, to somehow feel better, to protect itself, so as to not feel the amygdala’s supersized emotions, that the amygdala is magnifying with an endless loop of too much repeated information.
The amygdala believes that more and more information or toilet paper, are disinfectants for the amygdala’s supersized self-created crisis consciousness, medicating emotions of feeling helpless, unsafe and vulnerable and believing in the amygdala’s unmet needs of a lack of control, power and safety.
Will more and more information disinfect us from feeling helpless, unsafe and vulnerable and the absence of control, power and safety that the amygdala may be feeling?
The only information that I require is this and please join me every 5 minutes with;
“I’m remembering to remember, as I infinitely breathe deeply through my heart, may we be all be blessed along with an infinite immune system, that is working 24/7/365, to return us all to our true infinite consciousness and health, with every cleansing breath that we take.”
Amen.
