Love, Fear and the Coronavirus

                                               

As shock subsides from the sudden corona virus event, many of us now find ourselves reflecting and re evaluating how our lives looked in the past and speculating how they are going to look post corona.

All this reflecting is in perfect timing as the planet Pluto retrogrades along with Saturn,Venus and Jupiter in May.

Also, the lunar nodes are shifting which is a big event.

One thing that has surprised me is that governments all over the world have valued human life and wellness over money.  A welcome fact when you look back at past wars. Although the economy has suffered, many lives have been saved and many potential victims spared. This is huge in terms of new awareness seeping into the global consciousness and we can only hope that more compassion, more caring values are collectively honoured in the future.

But what about our personal lives? Many lives have been shattered or at the least disrupted through unemployment, loss of homes, increased domestic violence, relationship breakdowns, loss of connection with family and loved ones. As we begin to pick up the pieces, we now have an opportunity to put the them back together to make a new picture.

As the Course in Miracle says, there is only fear or love. So taking the fear and turning it into love, faith, hope and trust creates a great foundation for moving forward.

Asking our voice of fear within what scares us about how our future life can be a good starting point. Once we put our fears on the table for examination, fear shrinks and heals in the light.

We can then ask our voice of love and trust, what story would it tell us about the future?

Phoenix from the Ashes from 'Wallpaper Cove'

For example, I am fearful that, because my youngest child has lost the plot with his Uni course during lock down, he wont get back on track and he will be living in a world of high unemployment and limited opportunities. 

Yet, my voice of love and trust tells me that he has his own journey to walk, he has his lessons to learn in life as I have mine and at the end of the day the only power I have is to love him unconditionally regardless of choices he may or not make. I can turn my worry over to higher power. Even as I write that I feel so much lighter! 

Now is the perfect time, as some of the restrictions begin to ease, to get clear about where you are going to come from, on the inside, moving forward. We may not have all the answers or know yet how things will pan out on the outside but we do have the power to commit to rising above fear and reaching out for love. 

As the great Persian poet Rumi said...

Below are some of your questions answered. If you have a question, email me at info@lizwintermedium.com The Blog is published on the first Monday of each month.

Question
I recently began dating someone and although we connect on some levels, I am doubtful about going forward.

Answer
When I tune into Spirit I sense a man in Spirit who passed before his time that has a very dry sense of humour but in a loving way. I felt you knew this person a long time ago and were close to them at some point. He was tall and slim. He indicates that this person you have been dating has a good heart and there is a type of connection, but perhaps you two are working out what that is. It may not necessarily be a romantic one.  He suggests to keep your options open although he also says the month of May, clarity will come around this. I also sense the person you are dating may also be having doubts.

Question
One year ago, I met someone and we had a great connection. The problem is he lives interstate and is reluctant to commit to a long distance relationship.  Do you see this person in my future?
Anon

Answer
I sense a joyful feeling between the two of you and it is certainly no coincidence you met. I feel a loving older lady around you in Spirit, a grandmother energy giving you big hugs at the moment. She suggests to stay in touch with this person and hand it over to the Universe, what will be will be. I do see you meeting up in person and laughing a lot. The connection continues to evolve so I do feel this person is part of your future.

All Things Must Pass

It is no doubt one of the most unexpected and craziest times any of us have experienced.

I always thought the next major global shift would be world wide earth changes, maybe the poles melting or a nuclear war. Never did I imagine a pandemic would create such a major change on so many levels and I am sure you didn't either.

When I saw that the planets Saturn and Pluto were both in Capricorn last year and this year, I wondered what sort of structure would fall, (Saturn representing structure and Pluto representing disintegration) perhaps the stock market I thought. I never saw this coming, but now that it is here, each of us have to decide how we are going to deal with it because I do believe we have a choice.

I know many people are hurting financially, missing family and loved ones and being faced with all sorts of challenges that has come with the whole caboodle, let alone feeling the thick energy of fear and anxiety that seems to be lingering in the air.

Yet I can't help but think that for anyone who has walked a spiritual path, it's time to walk our talk, it's time to shine our light so brightly and be the light that we are. It does not mean we have to perform grand gestures but it means deciding to look to the light, to go within, ask Spirit to help us, to show us the way, ask how we can help, be humble and choose to believe the thoughts that serve us.

By owning the light we are, we automatically add to the collective conscious, we raise the vibration of the planet, we role model to others and we bring comfort and nurturing to those around us.  

Watch the thought that starts with fear, because before you know it, like a domino, that thought starts expanding to the next fear thought and the next one....switch it to a thought that is kind, that is hopeful and let that expand or shift your focus to something that brings  you joy or makes your heart sing.  The only control we have over this virus is contributing good energy to ourselves and the planet. When it seems too hard to do this, just pray, because that in itself will raise your vibration.

Remember we are not alone, Spirit is always with us.

Perhaps this whole thing is a doorway to a new and beautiful world, who knows. I also think the important thing to remember is we are visiting this planet for a limited time, one thing is guaranteed, and that is change, nothing stays the same.

I leave you with the wise words of George Harrison:

All Things Must Pass

Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

                   Moving Clouds FLA by Dryui on DeviantArt

Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day

Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away

Question

Do I have any messages from my angels? I feel they have been quiet lately and I need to know they are still around me. Jane

Answer

There are many reasons why we don't feel our loved one's around us, however they are always there, its just that our awareness of them is temporarily down, like the wi fi signal is low. So be assured they are always looking out for you. However, when I ask Spirit for a message for you I see an older couple, who I sense had a lovely marriage. She holds red roses and he tips a hat, perhaps grandparents. I sense he liked horses, maybe to bet on, not sure. The lady did delicate embroidery and she said you are very creative. They are fond of your partner, and your partner's humour?  She is proud of you. Someone called Maggie is relevant. A message about a son, all is well. Hope some of that makes sense, Be well, stay safe,

Question

I would like to ask you about my son. He is in his last year of scholl and just turned 17. Will he come out of all of this chaos okay? Will he stay safe and happy? Josie

Answer

I feel a father figure around you in Spirit who is helping you and your son at the moment. Your son has a sensitive soul and feels others emotions easily. I feel like many of us he is experiencing a variety of feelings at present but deep down he is an old soul and will manage this time extremely well. He has your warmth and is grounded and he will rise to the challenge of study in isolation well. I see a bright future for him, he is super clever. I also see him having a rich family life in the future. For you I see pink carnations and soft energy coming from Spirit,  there is a message of love from a Mary. Self nurture and be well.

Question

I would like to  offer my services to some friends at my workplace which includes Reiki for a horse with spine damage and some spiritual art work, but unsure whether I need to prepare more first and approach them or should I just let things unfold organically? Anonymous

Answer

I felt a big smile from Spirit when I read your question as your heart and your intentions are very loving and pure. Spirit has placed these people in front of you for a reason but I do feel to let things sit for a bit, see what unfolds in the coming few weeks. You will be helping them but I sense a piece of the puzzle is missing and as much as you mean well, they may not get where you are coming from. Give them more time to get to know you. Spirit has heard your prayers and will answer in perfect timing. They show me you running through a field of daffodils looking very happy, I feel love and success coming in around you.

Rejection is Protection

Image by eventshigh.com

Last year I had this crazy idea that I wanted to study full time nursing.  Having recently moved to a city where I knew no one, feeling in limbo, I started doing volunteer work at a local nursing home. I had some profound interactions between myself and some of the residents there but rather than just accept those special moments as a gift in the moment,
I decided it must be my destiny to do more in that area.

I tried several times to create a spiritual circle in this new city but nothing came of it. Perhaps Spirit doesn't want me to teach anymore I decided. I was feeling very unsure of my direction and choosing to do nursing was a stab in the dark.

I excitedly filled out all the application forms full of enthusiasm and I had visions of myself in a crisp white uniform performing my nurse duties. The woman at the college on the end of the phone assured me that my age of 58 was okay and I could do this.

One catch, I had to complete an English and Maths test and achieve a level 4 standard to be eligible. I uploaded the test and took almost two hours to complete both tests. I felt reasonably confident. Well, I passed the English with flying colours but the maths test result was only level 3 so I was told I could not do the 5 day a week full time course, although I was welcome to reapply in 3 months time.

REJECTION! I felt disappointed and wondered what I was supposed to be doing in this city, nothing seemed to be working.

Fast forward to three months later. Oh my God, thank goodness I got rejected. I am seeing my life in a whole new way now. In the last three months, I visited Hawaii and had profound insights at a course I did there, I have a new puppy that needs a bunch of my time and we are just about to put down permanent roots in this city as we unexpectedly got approved for a house loan.

Also, both my grown up children who still live at home are committing to University here for the next 4 years. If I had have been travelling to the CBD 5 days a week and coming home with a ton of study, I would have had no time for my family, my puppy or my spiritual work. What I perceived as rejection was total protection.

I am excited about my spiritual work again, once I am settled I plan on teaching, writing and inspiring others in whatever way Spirit guides me to do.

It is now becoming clear to me that the limbo time I have been experiencing the last twelve months has been an opportunity to build consciousness, to shift awareness and to have time to morph into the next stage of my life.

We don't always know the bigger picture and although its wonderful to nudge a direction here and there, when doors don't open it doesn't mean there is something wrong with us.  It's the universe saying there is something better for you that is more aligned to who you truly are.

There is a line in the course in miracles, (which I am a student of), that says
'I do not perceive my own best interests' and I love that reminder. Sometimes what we think we want or need is way off the mark. Yet, Spirit knows what we need, just like a parent knows when a toddler needs a nap although the toddler will tell you it needs an ice cream instead.

So trust, trust and more trust. Whatever is going on your life may not be working out the way you think it should or the way you think would bring you satisfaction but do know there is a force at work behind the scenes that truly does have our best interests even if it makes no sense at all.

Question
I am preparing to start a mindfulness through slow stitching group in March. Will I be successful in my idea of craft as healing? Zoya

Answer
I sense you are being guided to do this by those in Spirit around you. I feel it will begin with a small group but will gain momentum once the energy starts filtering through the ethers. You yourself will gain a lot from running this group. Spirit is celebrating!



Question
I am trying to manifest some clients for my craniosacral healing, does Spirit have any advice?
Leanne

Answer
I do see clients coming to you. I see you advertising your healing gifts on a local facebook page, or an online platform. Adding a video might be helpful. I also get to keep using your gifts on friends or family as by doing it, you are attracting the energy. I sense healing guides around you who are proud of you for putting yourself out there and say to have faith, it will happen.

Question
Do I keep pushing forward with my relationship? Will things improve?
Maddie

Answer
Only you can really decide whether you want to stay or go. When you use the words 'pushing forward' makes me feel that it is a burden more than a joy. However, I do feel a gentle lady around you in Spirit who is saying, 'keep the lines of communication open' as I sense there is a lot of miscommunication or misunderstanding going on at the moment. It is like you need more clarity between you two before you can make any major decision around the relationship. Hope that helps.

Question
Is my twin flame who I think it is and will we be together soon?
Anonymous

Answer
Personally, I believe we have more than one twin flame but either way, I sense the party you mention is very connected to you. However,  I sense at the moment they are either unavailable due to being in another relationship, or possibly I am wrong there and they are emotionally unavailable. I feel the current situation here is  like watching the kettle waiting for it to boil, the moment you stop focusing on it, you get a result. I sense there is an opportunity for you to let go of the outcome, just send love to them and see what happens. I feel they are not wanting to commit to you at this time, but that could change.

Question
Will I get a promotion this year?
Jolanda

Answer
I sense you really deserve a promotion and that you have worked hard. It may need a bit of a push and I don't mean that you have to badger anyone. I get that you can help it along with affirmations, visualisations and getting very clear within yourself exactly what sort of promotion you want and how you will feel when you arrive there.  Its like you want it but you cant imagine it will happen. So align the desire and the vision and success will be yours. Wishing you much success!

Love in the new decade

A new decade is suddenly upon us and there is part of me that feels a little stressed because I am not sure where to place my energy or what are the best intentions to put out for the future.

Then I remember that sometimes the best course of action is to choose to be comfortable in not knowing and stand back and wait for what feels right.

I don't mean we should merge into inertia either but forcing things to please others or because we think we should, and ignoring our intuitive inner guidance smacks of betrayal to ourselves. Disappointing others is inevitable sometimes but at the end of the day, loving ourselves is the best priority we can give, not only to ourselves, but the world at large.  When we feel peace, it shows, it spreads and it heals.

I recently received a newsletter from Author/Speaker Cheryl Richardson talking about New Year resolutions, here is an excerpt;

"What if the only resolution you made was to love yourself more?

It’s a simple idea that cuts through the overwhelm of setting goals, making promises, and worrying about staying on track with traditional resolutions.  You simply consider this:

What do you need to do to love yourself more this year?

As I move into 2020, I know that to love myself more, I need to face the reality that spreading myself thin over too many social interactions, projects, and professional commitments leaves me skimming the surface of life rather than diving in deep.  I want to be present for the people I’m with and I want the things I choose to do to feel meaningful, satisfying and fulfilling. "

As I read this, my 'inner ding' activated and it rang true.  

I am not sure yet exactly what choices I will make this year but I trust that I am guided by a power that resides within and that is who I truly am. If I make it my priority to honour and nurture myself I have no doubt that things will work out exactly as they are meant to.

I encourage you to self love, avoid stress and don't think that you have to move mountains. Stop, self love and then see what feels right.

As the planet and its inhabitants are in a delicate state right now, it's the best gift we can give. Inner peace and self love.

May 2020 be the beginning of something beautiful !
