Coronavirus as a Spiritual Practitioner

Coronavirus as a Spiritual Practitioner

All you know about me maybe my name or my picture. I am a spiritual practitioner from Mexico.

I mostly dedicate all my time to teaching our tradition, which is Curanderismo or Mexican Shamanism and having private consultations as a Curandera (Mexican Healer). On my days off I like to visit Mother Earth. With this kind of life, I don’t do a lot of social and city activities.

Besides, I don’t drink or do any kind of “recreational or spiritual” enhancers and HAD NEVER DONE THEM. I am saying this because I receive many messages asking for ayahuasca, San Pedro, peyote cactus, and substances like that. Many people believe that a shaman needs these substances to do their spiritual work. I AM NOT THAT KIND OF SHAMAN. I believe that when we take a chemical that alters our perception there is a strong risk of damaging our brain. It has been proved scientifically with brain scans how these kinds of substances affect our brain. My recommendation on that topic is not to even think about it and instead of “experimenting” with those substances use an alternative route and that will be developing internal spiritual strength. If you don’t know how to do that I invite you to join our classes.

I am the kind of Spiritual Practitioner that believes that we have the power inside ourselves to do everything that we want, create our reality, bring healing, change what we don’t like and to experience other realities without any outside “enhancers”.

It just takes an effort because we need the right tools and techniques to be able to “awaken” our spiritual power. This is what I teach and this is how I live my life.

I am writing this post because with the kind of life that I live, I am not very much in contact with the regular population. Last Friday I went grocery shopping and I felt fear in people’s energy, frantic shopping, and distrust. My first thought was that we have a holiday coming but the energy didn’t match a holiday. Then I realized it was the famous “coronavirus fear”…….. ahhh this is what everyone is talking about……

I went home and researched how many people had died in my community from this virus…… NONE. I don’t understand how this fear started and why it is so big but one thing I know, WE ARE A STRONG SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY. This post is to remind you that.

As Spiritual Practitioners, it is our responsibility to walk our talk. Let’s get out of the “panic mode” and start spreading what we had learned. Let’s send love, healing energies, hope, peace, etc. to our communities.

How we can do this? Here are my recommendations. They are very simple and they work.

Start with yourself. Move out of the “state of fear”. In our classes, the first thing I teach is the antidote of fear and that is LOVE.

Close your eyes and take several deep breaths. Try to send the air to the bottom of your longs. Very slowly inhale, wait a couple of seconds and take a longer time to exhale than to inhale. You will calm yourself with this kind of breathing. The science behind is that we have a very long nerve from the head to the bottom of the spine, the vagus nerve, and when we breathe like that, this nerve works as a “breaker box” in a house. It resets everything that it touches. This simple exercise is so strong that will take you out of the “panic state”.

Then keep your eyes closed. Think about something that produces love very intense like the first time you hold your baby in your arms, or a puppy…. Feel that love and increase it on purpose.

Once you feel super strong love with the power of intention send it all over your body and aura and then to your love ones and then to your community and all over our planet.

If you know how to do any kind of healing then generate the energy of healing and do the same. Send healing energy everywhere. Start with yourself and from there to your love ones and your community and all the planet.

Do this if possible, in the morning and evening and every time you feel fear.

If you have a spiritual community get together and do this practice as a group because then the healing and love energies will be stronger. It is believed that the energy multiplies in an exponential form. This means if you can measure energy in kilos and you have 4 people producing 1 energy kilo each instead of having 4 kilos (1+1+1+1=4) you will have 8 kilos (1 – > 2 – > 4 -> 8).

It does not matter your background or spiritual experience. We all have the spiritual power within us to create beautiful loving and healing energies, so go ahead and start right now!!!

Much love,
