A Meditation For Grief

A short, guided pause for anyone carrying loss . It doesn't try to fix or explain grief; it simply makes room for it. Listeners are invited to breathe, to notice where the sadness sits in the body, and to hold a memory of the person or thing they've lost with tenderness rather than urgency.

Transcript

A meditation for grief. Settle in. Find a place where your body can rest. Let your hands fall where they want to. And allow your breath to move in and out at its own pace. Take a slow breath in. Now bring your attention to whatever you are feeling. To name it or fix it. Grief is not a problem to solve. It's an experience to soften into. Don't let yourself be here. As you are. As you breathe. Imagine a little more space around you. Not to push anything away. Why you have been carried. Grief is heavy. You've been holding more than most people can see. Give yourself credit. Let your next breath. Be a little dreamer. And as you exhale. . . Release the pressure to be okay. You don't have to be okay right now. You just have to be honest with yourself. Memories arise. Let them come. Sadness comes with it. Let that rise too. You're safe as one. I can feel what you feel. That means one million. Take another step. Know the ground support. Notice the evening glow. Gently bring your attention to your chest. Imagine placing a warm hand over your heart. In which you don't physically move your head. For yourself the same kindness you would give to someone you love who is hurting you. Tell yourself quietly. I'm doing my best. It's okay to feel this. I'm about to heal. At my own pace. Stay with your breath. You don't know. Nothing forced. With each inhale. Invite a bit of calm. With each Excel. Let go of a little tension. Not all of it. Just enough for now. Wave of emotion rise. Let it rise. Grief does that. Losing the waves. You are learning how to stay steady enough to ride with it. We don't have to control them. To breathe through. These benefits don't erase grief. I love it. We simply make the experience more bearable. Steady ground to stand on. While you navigate it.
