"There is so much fear, and perhaps rightfully so,
about COVID-19. And, what if...
If we subscribe to the philosophy that
life is always working out for us, that there is an intelligence
far greater than humans at work... That
all is interconnected. What
if... this corona virus is here to help
us? To reset.
To remember. What is truly
important. Reconnecting with family and
community. Reducing travel so that the
environment, the skies, the air, our lungs all get a break."
- Gurpreet Gill
Gurpreet Gill is an intuitive energy healer and breathwork
practitioner. Through her own experiences, she has become
specialized in healing from trauma in a variety of
ways.
On The Extramilest podcast I speak with different guests about
ways to become a stronger, healthier and happier athlete and human
being. The mindset and stress management are important elements of
this, especially right now.
Due to the Corona Virus outbreak that impacts everyone, I
wanted to have a conversation about stress, uncertainty, trauma and
also the opportunities and the positive impact that can come out of
all of this.
Last week I came across a beautiful poem written by Gurpreet
Gill that was powerful and thought provoking. I knew our paths were
meant to cross. Hope you enjoy our conversation that will start off
with her poem.
