Sanity Breaks in the Time of Covid-19

It's a pretty stressful time, so thought I'd share the "sanity breaks" I posted for my community this past week.

Build a bliss station. This comes from Joseph Campbell, author of  “The Power of the Myth.” You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don’t know what was in the newspapers that morning, you don’t know who your friends are, you don’t know what you owe anybody, you don’t know what anybody owes to you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation. At first you may find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it, something eventually will happen. My bliss station is a daily walk. For others it’s the first cup of coffee, sitting in your special chair by a window. Watch a Pink Cast on this.



• Here’s a tip from the Italians, plan your stay at home day using the Staying Strong, Active,Neighbourly and Energetic Checklist  The idea is that you look through the list each morning and score each item that appeals to you from 0-10. If you have a partner, he or she does the same. Then plan your day, focusing on your top-scoring items.

•  This comes from Linda Thomson, a nurse hypnotist. During this unimaginable time of global crisis, this video was created with my local public access TV station to provide people the opportunity to take time to relax, to bolster their immune system and enhance their ability to cope and better protect themselves from the COVID 19 virus. This video is a hypnotic, meditative journey of about 30 minutes; my gift to you. Enjoy, stay healthy and well. We are all in this together and we will get through this and look forward to the better days ahead. http://okemovalley.tv/hypnotherapy-covid-19
