La cantante Camila Cabello ha aprovechado su última aparición pública -en las redes sociales, por supuesto- para animar a todos sus seguidores a que hagan todo lo posible para proteger su salud mental en estos tiempos difíciles y dominados por la difusión masiva del temido coronavirus.
Además de la incertidumbre y la comprensible preocupación que ha generado la veloz propagación de la enfermedad, el confinamiento que ha forzado la pandemia entre numerosos grupos de población -en el caso de ciertos países, el aislamiento doméstico ha sido generalizado- puede ser un factor de peso en el deterioro del bienestar psicológico.
En este sentido, la estrella del pop ha recomendado a sus fans que, al margen de otras prácticas necesarias e imprescindibles, traten de dedicar unos minutos de su día a la meditación: una disciplina muy útil para poder despejar la mente, desconectar temporalmente de los problemas e incluso analizar las circunstancias desde una perspectiva más positiva y, sobre todo, empática.
“En tiempos como estos, incluso si somos jóvenes y estamos sanos, debemos practicar la compasión y ayudar a otros que puedan estar sufriendo. Estamos todos en esto, no podemos ser indiferentes a los riesgos de otros. Es nuestra responsabilidad hacer todo lo que esté en nuestra mano para que el resto -padres, hermanos, vecinos, abuelos- se sienta seguro. Os animo a practicar la meditación bondadosa al menos durante diez minutos al día”, ha escrito en su cuenta de Instagram.

meditation has changed my life in the last few months. I didn’t share this with you guys at the time because honestly I was just trying to be okay, but I was experiencing severe anxiety. it was meditation- it was practicing every single day multiple times a day that has been healing me, and, more than just helping me manage strong emotions like anxiety and stress, it’s making me a better human. not only does it help in times like this with stress and anxiety, meditation is the practice of strengthening habits like empathy, love, and compassion- making you feel more connected to not only everybody around you , but living beings in general like animals, plants, and the earth, which is a living being, itself. In times like these, especially as young people, even if we are healthy, it’s important to practice compassion and help others that could be suffering. We are in this together, let’s not be indifferent to others risk. it’s our responsibility to do whatever it takes to keep everyone safe. Empathy to others’ reality and solidarity could make the difference in hard moments like this. We can’t think that we will be unaffected because we feel young and healthy. we have parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbors, and we don’t want to be a part of the problem when we could be part of the solution. So I’d like you to take 10 minutes of your day today to either look up loving kindness meditation on Calm or YouTube. Or just follow these instructions: close your eyes and sit with your spine upright and feel gravity grounding your body to the earth’s surface and supporting you. Take three deep breaths and then begin to just notice the natural flow of your breath. Being aware of breathing in, breathing out. Following every inhale and exhale with your attention. Once your mind has stilled. Picture every human in the world right now, elders, people that have respiratory problems and are vulnerable, picture the people that are vulnerable, picture their families, and say “May you be healthy. May you be safe. May you be free from illness. May you be well.” Repeat until you really feel it in your heart ❤️- love you guys, please stay safe !
