Gayane experienced many losses in her life, with the first one being the loss of the homeland due to war. Since the age of 9, she has moved from one place to another, accumulating losses in her heart which she didn't know how to grief at the time. After a painful breakup, she was unexpectedly forced to face layers of grief that were rushing to the surface to be felt. Gayane feels passionate about supporting people on their journey of healing, so they can experience authentic fulfillment and inner peace.

Lesson 2

How to Ease the Pain of Loss

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. Release the surface layers and cultivate compassion for yourself as you are moving through this revelatory phase of your life.

This is the third time I am attempting to write this review. It is easily lost if I touch the screen wrong. I have done these sessions lately at night when I woke. I did some sessions more than once. The human capacity for grief is tremendous. It's a big and deep loss to lose my husband suddenly and totally unexpectedly after many years and just 5 or 6 years of retirement. This class has been soothing. I might have to go through it again. It's a nice option among the grief meditations on Insight Timer. I appreciated it - thank you!

This has been an amazing course. It was very helpful for me to hear about the different stages of grieving and especially the denial stage. I found the breathwork so helpful, after doing it I felt so much lighter and want to do it regularly now to help me process any hard emotions. Thank you. Uyy
