My Experience of Covid and Consciousness

This is my story.  My experience.  My truth.

On Jan 11, 2022 I started with symptoms of what I thought was a head cold.  Honestly, at that time it could have just been that.  Out of an abundance of caution and choice that matched my integrity, I tested myself for Covid.  Negative.  Ok.  Since I do see some clients face-to-face, I let them know that it would be best for us to meet via zoom and that I offer a remote healing/balancing session as I was dealing with illness.  I continued to serve my clients and offer workshops, training and energy updates. I also continued to feel worse.  What began with head pressure, plugged ears, and runny nose had progressed to slight cough and fatigue.  So, I tested again.  Negative.  Hmmm.  I was now beginning to experience things that were not physical symptoms. Huge upgrade in clarity, knowing and my ability to “see”. Why was this happening? We were also going through a massive uplevel in consciousness this month.  It could simply be that. Then on 1/16, body aches and a slight fever joined in. Nothing major but enough to be noticed. Fever lasted a few hours, tops. Body aches a day longer.  Now my cough has kicked up a bit more. Biggest new experience was a sense of my  “I am” presence emerging like I never experienced before. I could not put it into words.  I still can’t at some level. Now, THIS was my indicator that I was dealing with an event other than a cold.  So, on 1/I8 I tested again.  Positive. Covid. Omicron. What unfolded over the next two weeks was nothing short of miraculous.  I believe Covid is an ascension experience.  I ALWAYS have.  I have spoken about it.  I have written about it.  I have created workshops around it. And now, I was getting to experience it. I was witness to the amazing ability of the human body and the dance of the intertwined energy of the spirit body with it. Covid has a consciousness; a frequency and it is “alive”.  It moved through my body looking for matches of frequency.  It locked in for a bit in a particular place and then once I “saw” it, it moved.  Fascinating. 

What were my greatest assets in this experience? Trust, surrender and wonder.  Yes, wonder.  I was curious about what was happening. So, I observed.  During these two weeks post positive test confirmation, I for the first time was required to fully STOP. Headache opened my crown chakra and required me to go within.  I had to cancel sessions. I could not complete workshops, a meditation and an energy updates for my membership clients.  I was devastated.  

You see, my illness didn’t scare me.  Fear did not meet Covid in my body.  What DID meet it was ATTACHMENT.  This was my gift and what I believe is a gift to all of us who have met Covid with something other than fear. One can argue that attachment IS a fear energy and in point of fact, it is true. However, attachment is a different fear than fear of loss of life. I knew I would physically recover.  It was an absolute truth. I am well aware that it has not been the experience of countless others who have danced with this.  Their journey and mine are different.  Again, this is my story. So, what was my attachment? Service. Who was I without being able to serve? Then looking deeper, what was fueling my attachment to service? Whoa.  Big revelations here. Am I valuable without serving? What am I protecting myself from by holding on to service? My routine of “this is what I do” has unraveled.  I released it.  I didn’t try to.  When I surrendered and trusted the process and got quiet and curious with what gift Covid was bringing to me, it just happened. 

What did that bring in for me? Freedom. 

What does this mean for me moving forward? It means whatever I want it to mean. It means that in each moment of now, I simply AM, and will be, fully in my beingingness in that moment.  I am valuable whether I am serving or not and that is what FREES me to serve, FULLY.  I thought I was, but I was locked into an experience of what that was by being attached to it.  

Covid offers gifts. What will you meet it with? Are you locked into a “side” on issues around Covid? Masks? Vax/novax? This is an area to look at. It offered me a chance to look at what I was locked into. It offers us a chance to look at our judgments, fears and wounding. It is NOT just a physical experience.  It CAN be, if that is what you choose.  I chose for it to be so much more. And, it was. I chose for my consciousness to heal this experience; on all levels. Witnessing instead of dropping into a third dimensional experience was key.  Wondering and staying curious about what was happening without fear/judgement allowed the back and forth of “I think I feel better and whelp, nope, I feel worse” to just do it’s thing. Insomnia to fatigue to no appetite to staving to massive connection to spirit to blank to frustration to joy. It was all in there. 

I supported my conscious healing with lots of filtered water, elderberry tea, neti pot, herbs, tinctures, essential oils, epsom salt baths, supplements and the occasional Tylenol. Moving back into service mode has been slow and mainly it’s due to not knowing what is aligned in the moment.  It is a whole new world. I will continue with support from my healing team (watch for cranial fluid and nervous system reset needs) and my coach. The ascension and evolution of our consciousness is only ramping up! It is not going to slow down.  I will continue to be aware in a whole new way and will serve better and from a higher level of consciousness because of this.

I simply AM. New in each moment.

Covid is bringing us to a new level of consciousness. Trade your fear in for wonder.


Three Things to Know in This Month’s Energy

  1. Strong foundations had a chance to build toward the end of January and were topped off with celebratory completion of an 18 month relationship overhaul when Venus moved direct on 1/29 along with Mercury moving direct on 2/3.  The majority of this month allows us experiences without any retrograde energies.  It is all birth and forward movement this month.  Well, Mercury and Venus will be in their post phase through the month but the review period is in reprieve.  You are now back fully into a new sense of beingness.  A new version of you.

  2. There are many important dates to be aware of. Right off the bat, 2/1, in the new moon energy tells us to GO, GO, GO. The whole month supports you in birthing the new and is a big YES to your dreams manifesting in what seems like an instant fashion. The 2/2/22 portal will bring in opportunities and support for balance and inner peace. This brings in ever greater feminine flow and invites you to embrace what is to come for you personally. The full crystalline moon on 2/16 is a massive actualization experience.  The choice energy of the month will push into action in the new experience of your beingness.  Passionate/actualized action will be calling you.

  3. Solar Flare activity at the end of January has activated another layer of DNA and our bodies will need support to integrate. These flares are bringing in codes needed to bring us into a place of sacred neutrality that allows unity consciousness to grow. With this energy will come a chance to look into our depths and what has been holding us back. Yes you can. You are not giving yourself enough credit. The last moving part will move into position this month. Get ready to instantly manifest.  You are exactly where you are meant to be. Choose your highest timeline.

I will be connecting live within the Awakening Spirit Membership throughout January on the topics above. If you would like to join me learn more!
