Processing Grief In An Embodied Way
He aha tāu e ako ai?
This lesson will give you an overview of the five stages of grief that will help you to recognize where you are on your journey. Remember that this process is not linear and you might not move through all five stages.
In this lesson you'll learn how to lean into self-compassion to ease the pain of loss. Often times our mental process can add layers of judgment or the thought of what you "should" be feeling can prevent you from accepting your authentic process and resisting "what is". Release the surface layers and cultivate compassion for yourself as you are moving through this complex and revelatory phase of your life.
Grief can't be processed through the mind alone and it needs to move through the heart and body, so it can be fully felt and expressed. Become curious about the ways you might be avoiding grief and not allowing it to pass through you in an embodied way.
In this lesson you'll learn how to build resilience by identifying inner and outer resources you can lean into to move through this phase of your life. Remember you don't have to do this alone.
This guided meditation will help you to move towards your grief, rather than away from it. Also, remember to be gentle with yourself. There is no need to force yourself to listen to this meditation. Choose a time that feels right. Choose a quiet place where you won't be disturbed and settle in. Light a candle if you can and invite support in.
This guided pranayama breathwork session will support you in feeling through layers of grief, so you can allow the waves of emotions to move through your heart and body. Remember that at some point of this process, you'll naturally land in a place of acceptance and peace. In the meantime, trust your process.
