As I have mentioned before, I always ask my spirit guides what we should write about when I prepare to send out a newsletter, so here it is.
Like many of you, my schedule has been upended with the lockdown and now the reopening because of the differences in dates. I am in Boulder County which reopens on May 8 for small businesses, but Weld County and Larimer Counties, which are just to the north and east of me are are open this week.
The energetic shifts we are all facing are about a shift in the whole matrix we live in. Some of the changes we are living in are obvious and some are subtle, and all are powerful.
Among the changes that have presented difficulties may also prove rewarding, of course, depending on your experience. For example, many family members are spending more time together and this can be a bonding, strengthening experience.
Many people are eating more home cooking rather than fast food, which may introduce more conscious attitudes about eating. I myself have always been an omnivore, however, the shut down of some meat packing plants may cause us to be vegetarians for a while. I am fine with that. Conditions in meat packing plants need to be improved, and I can be happy being more vegetarian for a while.
In fact I have shifted that habit for quite a while now. I used to eat bacon and eggs and toast for breakfast as a real regular thing, but these days I make protein shakes with fruits and veggies for breakfast, and that works well for me. Eating more salads too and getting protein from other sources like peanut butter. So I am not at this point giving up meat, but eating less of it and more plants. Have any of you changed your habits recently?
For some of us, even though a shortage of meat may not be a free will choice in our eating habits, we might find that we like it, and keep some of these changes. Have any of you noticed who you are keeping in touch with during this strange time? Out of all the people you know, who are the ones you are connecting with more?
What I notice is that some of you who reach out are ones that I did not know would feel like that, and this shows me that some times there is a real heart connection that is deeper than we initially recognized. Have you noticed that too?
Since it is my daily habit to express gratitude for this day and for everyone spirit sends to me, I am grateful to all of you. I always do what I do for all of you with the assistance of my spirit guides, so I always focus my full attention on doing the best for you. So it is all positive and good energy connections. And yet, I find a special spiritual connection with all of you who keep in touch.
There is a lot of healing communicated in these exchanges, whether it is a call or email just to say hello or keep in touch or for a reading or spiritual counseling, there is a lot of healing needed because of this unusual situation we are all living with and the times we are in.
Much is being revealed right now about the matrix we live in and the truth is raising our consciousness so that we are seeing and experiencing things differently.
Simple example. My whole life I have loved to read books. My parents got us in the habit of using the public library when we were kids, so it has always been a part of my life both as a form of learning and for entertainment. However, during this lock down, when I sit down to read, I keep feeling my mind pulled to other thoughts, to insights and messages from spirit, and so reading is frequently interrupted. Sometimes I have had trouble sleeping. Others have reported the same sorts of interruptions. Some speculate that it may be the movement of the planets, but I am sensing that it is the shifting of the matrix that is shifting the way we live. So if you are also having trouble concentrating at times, it is because of the spiritual downloads we are getting. Have you experienced this?
Some of the changes in our everyday life will evolve. For example it is normal every day behavior in our life up to now that we often meet with friends to have a meal and conversation in a restaurant, or meet for coffee with a new acquaintance, or go out for drinks at a bar where we enjoy local musicians and dancing.
But these new social distancing rules may radically change the landscape of the whole restaurant and bar industry. Many will not reopen, many will have to operate differently, all depending on what happens next with the rules. So it is both about people getting employed again, and it is also about how we socialize. We do need to get the economy open again and we need to have precautions for taking care of the sick and I think that we will see the next phase quarantine the sick, and the healthy people will get things going again. This is my vision of course. Who knows what rules the various governments will make? Right now we have differences from county to county and city to city.
It is also about developing new habits. Because going for a walk, bike ride, skateboard, and skate are one thing we can do with these rules, I am seeing lots of people out walking too, and generally, everyone I pass says hello, smiles or waves, and sometimes we pause and chat. Perhaps many people who were not doing this much before will adapt this as a new habit that they keep.
I am also remembering that at earlier times in this life, it was common entertainment for many of us to get together to make music and sing in our living rooms. So if we cannot go to concerts, we can get together to make music in our homes so that we still have live music in our lives. If we cannot have big gatherings, we can have small ones. If the new rule for a while is less than 10 people (just speculating on this number) that is a kind of gathering that would fit in a living room. How joyful it would be if that became a new popular entertainment instead of just watching TV? How spiritually uplifting such gatherings would be! And fun!
The picture above is 4 stones that I found objects on my walks. 4 is also the number of this year. Remember, in the January newsletter, I described how this 4 year in numerology would represent building on new foundations? I just didn't know it would look like this.
Always the attraction for heart shaped stones which remind us of how important love is, and then other common stones that call to me and have a good feel to them when I hold them in my hand. Polished stones are beautiful and lots of healers like to use them, however, I always feel that found objects and common stones are just as good a medium to use for healing and meditation.
Fear and convenience has record numbers of people shopping online now, and no doubt will be a permanent shift for some people. However, it is human nature to want to connect with other people, so people will want to return to shopping in person just like we all appreciate personal services from others like our hair dressers, barbers, massage therapists, tatoo artists, chiropractors, mani & pedi artists as well as doctors and dentists.
The quarantine brings with it loneliness which is difficult for a lot of people. Although Zoom and Skype work great, they are only a substitute for not being able to meet in person.
I love all of you and I am always happy to hear from any of you.

I have one request for someone else, if one of you would like to help. I know a reiki healer who needs a massage table so that she can open for business when the restrictions are lifted. If you have a table that you would like to let go of, we can help a good healer get her practice going, and we can all use more healing in this world, so let me know if you have a table for her.
