Transcript

Ascertaining feel accordion.

As we sit in silence,

We breathe out,

We breathe in.

Breathing out at the end of the breath,

We have the opportunity to experience our death.

Now we breathe in,

Continuing life,

Yet practicing,

Practicing for that inevitable time we won't.

Allow yourself a shroud of space,

Probably best late at night in the dark.

Find a comfortable and private space.

Center yourself by remembering that the earth supports you below and the heavens are open to you above.

Give yourself permission to lament,

To bring forward in your awareness the natural feelings of your loss and grief.

Let yourself feel how much and how deeply you feel what once was yours and now is no longer yours in physical form,

The coming and the going.

The having and the not having,

The possessing and losing,

All the letting go.

Your body will guide you from initially sensing the foggy mists of sadness,

The remorse,

The changes brought by feelings,

Waking up,

Then moving into expression.

Tears may come.

If you sense the feelings are building too much,

You can slow and quiet your breath.

Your grief will move and flow naturally like a stream finding its way through a meadow.

Let your grief come up and out quietly,

Then with some sound,

Feel the wave build and then eventually recede.

Allow yourself the ensuing calmness and peace.

Now we'll have five minutes of silence for reflection and meditation,

Then three rings of the singing bowl to end.

Thank you.

Civilizations Thank you.
