In the last few months, a guest of the Virus’s Kingdom, has taken much of our attention. The “thing” in question (3) has gained the attention of many of us. In the last few months I’ve had time to look for a name for the “thing” around me and I thought of calling it: King Covid XIX. In these last few months, I have realized how important it is to look for a name for the “things” around me and feel the emotions that I crystallize in their “name”. To give a name to “things” I felt the need to have a “place” where I feel safe, where I can express myself freely, where I can search for their “name” without being judged. Every time I went to this “place” I searched for its characteristics, felt the emotions it caused me, became aware of the points in the body that changed according to what I felt and to what I was searching for. From a Micro point of view, looking at myself as I am, dedicating time and love to what I am, following the needs that nourish my body, my mind, my spirit and everything else that gives me the right to be part of the class of mammals. I felt the “thin layer” of fear and uncertainty that blurred eyes. I worked on the hidden “emotions“.

The “memory” of what I am without this “thin layer” opened the door to a new energy. I felt the shape, the color, the structure, the origin of the “thin layer“; I understood which “emotions” blurred my eyes; I brought back to the surface the “memory” of well-being without being distracted by fears and uncertainties. From a macro point of view, looking at the “guests” as they are, dedicating time and love to what they are, following the needs they express. I “felt” their effect on me, how they helped to change the consistency of my “thin layer“; I understood which “emotion” provokes a certain movement; I brought back to the surface the “memory” of the well-being of a certain movement.
In these last months, I have been looking for a “safe place” to explore the effect of King Covid XIX on my body, mind and soul from a Micro and Macro point of view, finding a balance between the weight of the “thin layer” and the lightness of my energy.

I try to answer these questions by going to my “safe place“, wondering what stories I believe in and what stories I have faith in. What helps me to keep the balance between the Micro and Macro worlds? Reflecting on the answers, I thought that in our history there has always been a period where we are asked to put something in “quarantine” (6) a period to distance ourselves from the daily events of everyday life, a period to distance ourselves from the actions we perform without attention and with eyes blurred by emotions that block us in a situation that takes away our energy. So I can give a name to the “thing” that I want to leave in “quarantine”. Also I can recognize the “name” of that “thing” that gives me energy. Appreciating how my rhythm has changed after I put that “thing” in “quarantine”. Taking time in my “safe place” and get the necessary energy: asking myself: can I take a deep breath and step into the unknown?

Good Shiatsu to all.
