Resilience isn’t about never falling — it’s about how you rise again. In uncertain times, learning how to build resilience strengthens your inner core, helping you adapt to challenges, recover from setbacks, and guide others with steadiness and compassion. Read more >
Here in the UK lockdown has been eased so we can get back to ‘normal’ or perhaps I should say ‘new normal’. The date we started this process was the 4th July. There is a certain irony with this being Independence Day in the US.
How was your lockdown?
Mine was not what I was expecting. I thought I would be happily writing articles, creating and learning to edit videos to share with you. It was quite the opposite. I felt quiet and reflective. Fortunately I am a great believer in meditation so I retreated from the outer world to explore my inner landscape. A common question from my husband is;
Are you meditating?
Periodically I was quite forcefully pulled back to the physical world to manage a builder I had engaged who was not living up to his accountabilities. This enormous contrast between my inner and outer landscape created tensions and emotions yet surprisingly gave me clarity and insight.
I felt the need to validate my feelings and to seek out the purpose of the virus. It is my belief it is not our enemy but is bringing possibilities for change in what we feel is important in our life and how we might choose to live it. I am really sorry for the pain and suffering the virus has brought some people, but grateful humanity is being given a chance to re-consider our future and whether our direction needs adjusting.
To help me with my thoughts, I started an email conversation with my healer and medium friends who are used to exploring their inner landscape to see what they were experiencing.
This conversation gave all of us support and love through friendship. With fear and anxiety all around us it brought messages of hope, inspiration and love. We have collated the conversation along with some beautiful paintings created by our spirit artist, Irene Gloux, into a short FREE ebook. There are many different views and ways of expressing them. No one person has the whole truth but together perhaps we get nearer to it.

Feeling Your Emotions: hope – inspiration – love was written during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown in the Spring of 2020. A conversation between Alison Wem and her friends who are healers, mediums and a spirit artist but are also husbands, wives, parents and adult children observing and experiencing the pandemic. This is a very international group of friends with 5 countries and their respective cultures represented.
=&0=&; fear, anxiety, uncertainty in a changed world, but more importantly there are messages of love, caring, support and humour which in themselves provide hope, inspiration and love.
In a crisis, nationality was unimportant but building bridges amongst us was key for feeling better about ourselves, and the situation we find ourselves in.
A short read, see what you feel and provide a comment. What was or is your experience of the pandemic and resulting lockdown(s)?
Is the pandemic bringing out the better side of humanity?
Will it be the common people who lead a sustained change in how we choose to lead our lives, rather than the political and economic leaders?
