Furthermore, silence may help to quiet down the racing thoughts of the civilized mind.

Perhaps Nature may be forcing us, through this virus, to a greater connection to our inner lives and to the divine mystery of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Espa\u00f1ol)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00bfCu\u00e1l podr\u00eda ser un significado psicol\u00f3gico del coronavirus? Tras reflexionar, y sin negar los efectos atemorizantes, tr\u00e1gicos y devastadores que este virus est\u00e1 trayendo a individuos, familias, grupos y pa\u00edses de todo el mundo, algunas de las medidas de aislamiento interpersonal pueden ayudarnos a encontrar algo de valor en la soledad, el silencio, y la&nbsp;introspecci\u00f3n. Estas tres experiencias humanas tienen un aspecto positivo en t\u00e9rminos de conexi\u00f3n con nuestra vida interior y el misterio de la vida. Sin embargo, para algunas personas, estas experiencias pueden ser insoportables. Ahora que pasar\u00e1 m\u00e1s tiempo en casa, considere la posibilidad de cultivar esas tres experiencias. La soledad puede abrir la oportunidad de estar con usted mismo, con las im\u00e1genes, sentimientos y pensamientos provenientes de su&nbsp;mente. Hacer una amistad con estas experiencias psicologicas&nbsp;puede contribuir a los procesos de autocomprensi\u00f3n y autorrealizaci\u00f3n. Adem\u00e1s, el silencio puede ayudar a calmar los pensamientos acelerados de la mente civilizada. Finalmente, una actitud voluntaria hacia la introspecci\u00f3n puede abrir la puerta a los tesoros escondidos que est\u00e1n en el mundo interior. No nos sorprendamos si, durante estas crisis relacionadas con la salud y en todo el mundo, la soledad, el silencio y la introspecci\u00f3n despiertan, cada noche, sue\u00f1os intensos&nbsp;que nos piden&nbsp;una vida m\u00e1s significativa y balanceada. Quiz\u00e1s la naturaleza nos est\u00e9 forzando, a trav\u00e9s de este virus, a una mayor conexi\u00f3n con nuestra vida interior y con el misterio divino de la vida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This post originally appeared on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehealingpsyche.org\/single-post\/2020\/04\/07\/A-SYMBOLIC-MEANING-OF-CORONA-VIRUS-AN-OPINION\" target=\"_blank\">thehealingpsyche.org<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/store\/index.php?route=product\/manufacturer\/info&amp;manufacturer_id=145\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Freddie Taborda, LCPC, PsyD<\/a><\/strong> is a Jungian Analyst with over 27 years of clinical experience.
