Rebbi Nachman of Breslov teaches that heaven/the world-to-come isn’t when we reach a spiritual buzz and maintain it forever. Heaven is a state where every moment is a fresh and new experience of infinite light and love.

So, in a time of isolation and immobility, the best thing to do, the most spiritual approach, may be trying something new, or even better, doing something old in an entirely new way. Treat yourself to a new experience of something or someone you think you know so well. Open your heart to a fresh experience that can give you a little taste of heaven.
