Sars cov-2 journey through me

I have this vision of the virus after it enters the body. It enters the physical and the emotional/mental body. With an industrious single pointed focus to travel through the nerves. It does not need a vehicle as its spikes are the oars and the wings. Feels like an out of space science fiction vision. The body goes into a full alert mode! A slugfest between the virus and the body(s). Wherever there is resistance, illness, weakness the spikes will anchor and like a parasite make a home. How did I counter it? Slow, deep, long breaths in and out. I follow this path of breathing, with no other thought in mind. A settling calm appears. I meditate, sit in the sun and breathe in the outdoors as i look out at the lake in the far distance. I watched a serial on Netflix to keep my mind occupied with stories of other people. Today is day six and the feeling is like I have allowed the body to do what it needed and the virus did what it needed. I welcome the antibodies to the virus and pro-bodies to health and well being.

Navigating a day

We go about the day moving our limbs and the torso in unison, in a rhythm. 

• I pause, to notice all inner workings that makes and supports this movement.  This pause and this noticing seems to ride on bringing attention to my breath, the inhales and the exhales. 
• In the pause sometimes senses are evoked.  
• The thoughts, what am I thinking? 
  
  
  
• How and where is my feeling, and what emotions are riding in this physical body?

The pause, with all these subtle questions, grounds me and provides an attentive rhythm to the flow of the day. 

Its a lot to 'unpack', and who has the 'time' to go deep into each of the above self inquiry, and then one can also ask "why"? 

Maybe its enough to bring attention to any one aspect, like a thought, a feeling or a sensation, and take few deep breaths.  

And then notice the effects.

These are basics, to snack on, to slowly build the mind muscle of awareness.  

Just as we build other muscles through physical  exercise; we continue to build the mind muscle through being mindful and aware.  

The question "why", then finds the answer in how we navigate through daily life and living.
