It started when I took the regular test prior to travel back by flight abroad. The first test showed negative. But a second lab test confirmed that I was covid positive. So, all of a sudden with no symptoms of covid, I had to go into isolation in the room. It meant that now everything was in the hands of God and the Drama and my role as a patient began. Whoever were helping me to go through in this next 14 days quarantine were like God’s angels to me.

Imagine, I was now having unlimited time at hand inside this room and so, I chose to keep the mind strong, the heart clean and the soul powerful.

In order to achieve this, it was most important to set a few key guides which I promised to follow and they were:

1. Morning Yoga and Spiritual study are highly important to pay a deep attention in setting the intellect in God’s connection and communication.
2. Keeping everything hygienic with dettol and tidy, especially the floor. Making the room fresh and lighted daily.
3. Always eat every meal hot as it came with love and appreciation at that given time. Also to take the medicines for treatment daily.
4. Answer the phone in soul consciousness, peacefully, softly, gently and trust. Always say yes and support them.
5. Take full advantage of 12 hours sunlight in the room. To stay very aware and alert during the day by doing relaxation exercises to keep blood circulation and taking moments of rest.
6. I did not fix any meeting or any program online as I was given this time for reflection and cleaning the soul in yoga.

I still faced few Challenges:

1. The first 5 days went well as I was finding myself resetting a new pattern. Then came a wave of lethargy which ment I had to start singing and do self-talk workouts of appreciation.
2. On the 12th day, it was getting heavy again as I started to give online class to share the experience. I think it was too soon to do so as too much excitement is overwhelming and I could not come out of the room to share the happiness.

It is important to note that many different challenges could be faced, but know that God and the Drama are our parents and those outside the room are our family members who will never wish us any harm. Keep courage and faith at every moment and spiritual stamina becomes an asset for all time.
