There were many prophecies of this event / pandemic.  What happens now?

• We get to choose between the path of unity and peace or desctruction.

How can we stand strong on the path of unity and peace when we can feel how much fear there is?

• One step (moment) at a time. To maintain a vibration of love and peace, follow the Five Pillars of Commitment to Empowerment.

Staying in high vibration feels like I'm pushing against the tide. Shouldn't I just go with the flow?

• Notice and feel the energy around you / in theworld, but stay balanced in your OWN energy, which involves doing a little work.  Staying committed to yourself-care!  Work on changing what's imbalanced in you.

I was already on the path of unity and peace. Why am I feeling something still has to change? 

• Look at your life. Do you see a need for change anywhere? Your soul is telling you, guiding you. You need to listen and follow it.

What crossroad are we empaths really facing? It feels sometimes like the crossroad of the earthly world and the spiritual world.

• Trust that your soul will help you navigate this. Our job is to notice when our mind/ego is driving our thoughts, worries, choices. Focus on the body. Focus on nd what we want to create.

 FIVE PILLARS OF COMMITMENT TO EMPOWERMENT

• Food, diet, substances (consumption)
• Social media / media engagement &consumption
• Physical movement
• Nature / The environment
• Spiritual / meditation
