Life in the Time of Coronavirus: Some Perspectives & Clinic Updates

Lockdown again. What uncertain times we are in. Reaching out today to share in the collective feelings of frustration and trying to stay clear-headed in response to a phenomenon that is not really up to us. A few things going through my mind today..


1. How connected are we as a species, no matter how remote or isolated? Seemingly unconnected actions weave around us like a web, really driving home the point that we are One, pulsating, connected whole. Waves belonging to one ocean, truly.


2. If we can hang tight for another 6 weeks by doing the right things and adhering to what is set out for us as a community we can minimise the spread and get out to the other side sooner than if we kept delaying and furthering the uncertainty.


3. Nothing is really certain, so while we make plans we must also plan to be open, receptive and responsive to the moment. This means letting go of our most treasured hopes and plans if we must, by placing trust and faith in a bigger truth than we can conceptualise in our minds


4. Stay as connected and supportive with our loved ones and networks using the wonders of tech is so important at this time for our own emotional and mental health, as well as theirs. 
There is more to say but for now, here are some basic updates at the clinic

I've had calls and emails asking about what is happening to appointments. We have been in touch this morning with updates on individual upcoming bookings but for anyone else wondering:

  • All counselling and consultations are ok to go ahead in person following distancing and sanitisation rules however anyone not wishing or unable to leave home will be moved to online/ tele appointments and Zoom links will be sent out as needed.

  • All yoga and meditation sessions that were due to commence at the Hawthorn studio will be on hold for now - we'll be back soon!

  • Online Yoga & meditation / Mindfulness sessions will carry on as usual.

  • All treatments will be placed on hold for now, at least for 6 weeks

Sending love to our colleagues and other small businesses. Stay safe and well; we will find ways to make things work and I hope so very much we will all be back soon to do our dharma and serve our communities x
