Hello dear one,
This is davidji,
And I welcome you into this sacred space,
A space of stillness,
Of remembrance,
Of love.
Wherever you are,
Allow yourself to be here fully.
Let your spine rise tall,
Gently soften your shoulders,
Allow your hands to rest,
Maybe palms down to ground,
Or palms up to receive,
And slowly,
Gently,
With me,
Take a long slow deep breath in,
And allow your eyelids to ever so gently float closed as you release in.
Let's breathe together.
Inhale deeply through your nose,
And exhale softly through your mouth.
Allow your breath to slow,
And allow yourself to be held by this moment.
Grief is love with no place to go,
But here,
In this sacred space,
We give it voice,
Breath,
And blessing.
There is no pain like the loss of a loved one.
It carves deep into the soul.
There are no words that can explain it,
And no timeline that can contain it.
Grief is not a problem to solve,
It's a sacred companion,
A wave that moves through you,
And sometimes it crashes,
And sometimes it softens.
So here in this moment,
Allow your grief to speak.
Breathe into the ache in your heart,
Breathe into the empty space,
The longing,
The memories,
The unanswered questions.
Let the tears come,
If they need to.
Let the silence hold you,
And repeat silently,
With me,
I allow my grief to be here.
I honor this pain as sacred.
And now gently bring into your heart the presence of your beloved,
And visualize their face,
Their smile,
Their energy,
Their light,
And let the love that you feel for them fill every cell of your being.
Let it move through your heart.
Let it rise into your chest.
Let it flow into your hands.
It lives in each beat of your heart.
It lives in your breath.
It lives in your remembering.
Love is eternal,
Love has no end,
Love remains.
And silently repeat with me,
I carry your love within me.
I feel your presence in every breath.
I feel your presence in every breath.
And now let us honor their life,
Not just the loss,
But the life.
Bring to mind a memory,
A sacred moment you shared,
Laughter,
A hug,
A listen.
Let it play like a film across your awareness.
And with each breath,
Let gratitude rise.
Thank you for the gift of their life.
Thank you for the joy they brought.
Thank you.
And visualize right now releasing a radiant light from your heart,
A beam of love that flows from your heart to theirs.
Make eye contact with them right now and connect at the deepest level as you gaze into each other's eyes and transmit a blessing,
A prayer,
A whisper that says,
You are forever cherished,
Your life has meaning,
You are part of me always.
Feel that bond,
Not broken,
But transformed.
And stay in this space for a bit.
And feel free to place your hand on your heart as you breathe slowly.
And feel their energy here.
Not behind you,
Not above you,
But within you.
Their story lives in your story,
Their soul moves through yours.
And let your heart speak right now to your loved one.
I honor your life.
I choose to live,
Not in spite of you,
But in celebration of you.
And feel that truth settle in your bones,
A sacred vow to grieve with grace,
To heal with love,
To remember with reverence.
And keep breathing into your heart.
Keep feeling their energy with each inhale and with each exhale.
Simply breathe and with every beat of your heart,
You celebrate their life.
With every breath you take,
You are connected at even a deeper level.
And know that as you breathe and as your heart beats,
These are the signs forever that you carry their heart.
And now slowly,
Ever so gently,
Take a long,
Slow,
Deep breath in with me.
And begin to return to the room around you.
Feel your body supported beneath you.
Feel the breath in your lungs,
The strength in your spine,
The softness in your heart.
And take one final deep breath in.
And when it feels comfortable,
Ever so gently open your eyes.
You are loved.
You are not alone.
And you carry a sacred light that will never go out.
A light that streams into the heavens.
A light that touches everyone you touch.
And a light that cannot be extinguished.
Sending you love.
I carry your heart in mine.
