The earth as we know it has changed forever. Whether you are conscious of it or not at this moment- you'll never be the same person for better or worse, as long as you live. Right now your body is slowly recovering from its fight or flight response to recent events. It is searching for peace, stabilizing norms, love, hope, security, and homeostasis. Neurons, rational fibers, and your entire physical being is undergoing a reconstruction unparalleled to any other events in modern history or perhaps it's existence. The entire chemistry of your life's most intimate patterns have been destroyed, maligned, and our natural response is to reconfigure our lives, but how exactly do we start that process when everything is so uncertain now? Of this you can be sure, replacing the American psyche once coddled by the internet is over. Cut, bleeding and scarred by mother earth's rebellion has left us all devastated. How you cope and rewrite the narrative of your existence over the coming days and years is of paramount importance. This book delves into the spiritual, psychological, and social implications of the Coronavirus outbreak and how best to rebuild normality following the greatest human tragedy of our lifetime.
