This latest question, was put forward by @indigoocean, where she deepen the invitation by saying :

We are a tribe of whole people. I invite you to answer this question not from idea to idea, but from heart to heart. Regardless of your ideas about the pandemic, have you noticed a shift in planetary energy? If you have, how has that shift affected you? How has your energetic experience changed during this period in our collective experience?

We have all experienced so much upheaval in our lives,with so many reacting out of fear and panic, followed by a huge sense of uncertainty. All this talk of a 'New Normality' is very worrying, implying that our faith is already sealed!

Or has it?

In these moments it is important that we stand in out power, that we connect with others and that we focus on creating positive change in the world. No matter what the current narrative is, we still have a choice and those choices are what influences the energy that we are creating and that we are projecting out into the world.

We have so much to learn from one another. So it is important to provide opportunities, in which we can share our experiences and create better understanding as we move forward. This question provided just that.

We had 10 answers in total and in the spirit of Abundance one of those writers will receive 20% of the payout of this post (myself not included obviously). I assigned a number to each response and asked one of my daughters to pick a number. She choose number 8, which was for @riverflows beautiful poetic response.

Shifting Energies of A World in Pandemic Throes [or] Swimming in Uncertain Rivers - An Answer to Abundance Tribe's QOTW

@riverflows

It is difficult to feel for the bottom of the river. The surface of the water is cold, and my chest tightens with the shock of it. It wraps around my ribcage like an iron brace around a tub. My immediate reaction is to leap free of the bracing water to the safety of the bank, but it is too late for that.
I am already adrift - we all are, with this sudden unmooring of the world's boat.

Finding out what is real [Abundance Tribe Bi-weekly Question]

@fenngen

This my attempt to answer the Abundance Tribe Bi-weekly Question: How has your energetic experience changed during this global pandemic?
I have to be honest. Before this pandemic begin I was very locked on to my goals and constantly trying to build up the discipline so that I could achieve them in the shortest term possible.
At the same time I had taken the habit of moving around places. Whenever a certain routine bored me or social relationships got tiresome I would pick up my few belongings and leave. This gave me a sense of “freedom” since I could start over as many times as I wanted.

How has your energetic experience changed during this global pandemic? - AbundanceTribe QoftheWeek

@indigoocean

Lately there has been a lot of debate about ideas about what's going on, what's true and false.
However much we agree or disagree about the answers to such questions, It is undeniable that there is a major global transformation afoot. The energy right now is extremely intense.
In this question I'm exploring how we're experiencing these times ourselves, and how we're each responding to that energetic experience in a way that helps us at least cope, and hopefully even thrive. This thriving is for self, but also for what we are contributing to and amplifying within the collective.

Abundance.Tribe's BiWeekly Question - "How has your energetic experience changed during this global pandemic"

@fun2learn

I started my blogging on steem platform from 15 December 2017.
@education-hive is the main community that I am actively involved in before I arrived on the Hive platform.
After the lockdown, it has given me time to think about my existence on the platform.
I started to notice meaningful communities like @naturalmedicine, @ecotrain, @hodlcommunity, @project.hope, @hiveskate and @abundance.tribe.
I actually decided to delegate some of my HP to quite a number of Hive communities even when I may not directly benefit from these communities.

AbundanceTribe QOTW - How has your energetic experience changed during this global pandemic

@nainaztengra

I have already been pondering on this one lately a lot. Since some time it is my own observation that is coming to light to me that I have been getting into a lot of negative energetic pattern; as to thinking everything is wrong; everything is bad, there is no hope, there is no light.
To an extent it is also my personal problems dealing with my hubby's health situation since last 5 months that is contributing to this. But then in my deepest thoughts I know I am not this person and it is only this situation and experience that is draining me down.

@elcorrecamino

My experience has been positive since I have been able to share much more with my wife and this has strengthened the rapport between the two of us to face together as a battle team the difficulties that the pandemic has brought to the world and that it is affecting everyone equally although there are people more affected than others in the different situations experienced during this state of confinement.

Abundance.Tribe's BiWeekly Question - "How has your energetic experience changed during this global pandemic"

@truelovemom

The result of the social isolation that a large part of the planet is submerged in as a result of the forced quarantine, the reduction in CO2 emissions, the plumbing oil demand and the overall shut down of the economy have greatly changed the planet dynamics.
Specialists have said that the planet is vibrating less, lockdowns have allowed animals to leave their frequently nused spaces and travel through some cities in the absence of humans.
In short, the change in the energy flow on our planet has reduced pollution and somehow allowed mother nature a holiday from us.

How has your Energetic Experience Changed with the Pandemic ?

@revisesociology

I'm sure there's something of a shift in planetary consciousness going on, with people getting back to more authentic connectivity, both at a local and a global level.
'Social distancing' may mean fewer people being out and about on the streets, but social distancing only applies to other humans, so there's more space for nature, and I can't be the only human whose been enjoying the more visible presence of trees and the birds and so on, in the absence of so many humans.
And as to humans, I'm sure social distancing is creating something of a longing for more genuine connectivity with other people outside of those in our isolation circles - I get the feeling that this emerging norm of 'staying physically apart' is somehow making people feel more connected to each other - and creating more of a widespread longing for connection for the sake of connection, rather than just because of mutual self-interest.

Abundance.Tribe's BiWeekly Question - "How has your energetic experience changed during this global pandemic"

@trucklife-family

I knew this time was coming, I have been anticipating it for a long time. Hence why I live the life, I do. But it still has shook me, it has affected me in ways that I did not expect.
What we are seeing right now is a power struggle,a tug-of-war for control and it was inevitable. I wasn’t sure how exactly it was going to take place, but I knew it was. I think a lot of us knew, that things could not keep going the way, that they were.
I just never imagined that it would happen so easily, that so many people would happily hand over their power, becoming silent and compliant. That really shocked me in the beginning, it scares me how readily they handed over their power, how they gave up their basic rights over with no resistance, nothing, just okay here you go, I will do as you say. I will put my trust in the government and the health organizations. I will give away all my basic rights because I’m told I need to.

@kamchore

The lock down period started at my place in fourth week of March. Currently lock down are observed in many part of the countries. I am living in a place where there are many people affected so we have a strict lock down here.
Honestly speaking my experience was bad at the start. The reason is simple. Fear of pandemics and you have nothing to do except sit at home. One of the big factor for being less energetic is due to main stream media. In my opinion main stream media, electronic and print media sells fear. I accept that media played a great role by giving awareness to people how to get rid of this lethal disease.

Abundance Tribe's Evergreen Collection #1: Breathing Life into Paid Out Posts

Focalized by @artemislives

There are so many good posts which are enjoyed so fleetingly, or perhaps not at all. Maybe it was published before you joined Hive or not yet following that author? Or that was the week you were fasting in a yurt in Mongolia without wifi? Life happens and the 7 day post rewards window is short. Many would say too short. There are also just so many reasons why a post is overlooked, forgotten or received less reward than it should have: autovoters were down, token price crashed, or it was another Hard Fork within moments of you pressing 'publish".
