This is causing fear and panic for some. Others are unfazed and at peace. Either way, within every challenge is an equal and opposite blessing.

I use music when I meditate and love to create guided meditations to find peace and connect with the outcomes I desire. In fact, I&#8217;ve made a free <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Heal and Protect Your Body (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.MarnieKuhns.com\/heal-and-protect\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>Heal and Protect Your Body<\/em><\/strong><\/a> guided meditation for anyone who wants it.  The music and meditation are designed to bring you into alignment with optimal healing and protection for ever cell of your body.  <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"You can download that for free here (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.MarnieKuhns.com\/heal-and-protect\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>You can download that for free here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get outside in the fresh air<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fresh air and sunshine are healing and rejuvenating. According to historical records from the 1918 Influenza pandemic, \u201cmedics found that severely ill flu patients nursed outdoors recovered better than those treated indoors. A combination of fresh air and sunlight seems to have prevented deaths among patients; and infections among medical staff.\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@ra.hobday\/coronavirus-and-the-sun-a-lesson-from-the-1918-influenza-pandemic-509151dc8065\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coronovirus &amp; The Sun<\/a>) This could be because of the healing properties of vitamin D, which is best produced by sun exposure. Most Americans do not get enough vitamin D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a picnic in your yard or walk in a park that isn\u2019t crowded with people. For example, my husband and I have been getting outdoors and clearing invasive Chinese privet so we have more sitting spots and are making room for desirable plants, trees and shrubs. Yard work is a good replacement for my gym membership, and we\u2019re getting lots of fresh air, sunshine and together time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Start a garden<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now is the time to get some seedlings started indoors. Or you can plant root vegetables like beets, carrots, radishes, potatoes, onions, and parsnips directly in the ground. Other vegetables you can plant in the ground include broccoli, lettuce, greens, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower. Check your local gardening zone for best planting dates.

Chattanooga, for example, has a free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sculpturefields.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sculpture Field<\/a>. With all the events shut down, you could feasibly be the only person walking around in the Sculpture Field.
