Lesson 1

Supporting Your Nervous System

On day one, we will explore how grief affects our nervous system and discover how supporting it during this time can create more space for healing. This support helps us build a greater capacity to be with our difficult emotions and feelings. Through guided somatic practice, we will offer our nervous system the support it needs by creating some distance from our pain, connecting with our body, and providing it with deep rest.

Lesson 2

Resourcing

On day two, we will focus on further supporting our nervous system with a tool called resourcing. Resourcing helps our mind and body attune to feelings of safety and stability. It’s a helpful tool to use when we are feeling emotionally flooded or even when we are feeling numb or shut down. Today, we'll practice resourcing and observe how our body responds, helping us to discover what resource works best for us. This will also be an important tool as we begin processing grief on day three.

Lesson 3

Processing Feelings Of Grief

On day three, we will work on processing our grief in a somatic practice. We will focus on creating space for our grief, caring for it, listening to it, gaining insight and allowing it an opportunity to be expressed. We will learn to feel and process at the pace and depth that feels right to us as an individual. There is great healing that happens when our grief feels witnessed.

Lesson 4

Nourishing Your Soul And Replenishing Your Energy

On day four, we will focus on nourishing our soul and replenishing our energy. Grief often depletes our energy, making it hard to manage our daily lives. With so much energy moving out, it’s important that we make a conscious effort to replenish our energy and care for ourselves during this process. Today’s guided practice will help us check in with our inner self to discover what we need to replenish our energy, nourish our soul, and create balance.

Lesson 5

Navigating Loss Of Self

On day five, we’ll explore navigating the feeling of losing our sense of self. Losing someone or something can make us feel disconnected from who we are. We can find ourselves in a sort of limbo period, where we aren’t who we used to be before the loss, but we aren’t yet who we are becoming. Today’s meditation will support us through this period, helping us feel grounded as we connect to our inner self and allowing us to feel empowered, trusting that we're on the path to feeling whole again.

Lesson 6

Self-Compassion

On day six, we’ll focus on self-compassion and how to use it as a supportive tool. We will learn a guided practice that we can use anytime we need emotional support. We will acknowledge our emotions, notice where and how we feel them in our bodies, and connect with them. We will also validate and support these emotions and gain insight as to what else we might need to best support ourselves.

Lesson 7

Integration

On the final day of this course, we will reflect on everything we’ve learned and experienced. It will be an opportunity to explore how we can take these insights and experiences and apply them into our daily life in a way that works for us. In today’s practice, we will be writing our own healing prescription that is uniquely ours. This healing prescription will help guide us in the days ahead, helping us to find moments of peace, connection, and even transformation.

This course has been such a huge help. Grief can be such a bewildering and lonely experience, but having the advice and comfort of a trained professional gently guiding you and reassuring you that you are not going crazy is invaluable. Each day offers general advice on grief, ways to support yourself, and guidance on processing emotions. Alongside this, there is a daily exercise to help put the ideas into practice. Thank you so much for sharing this in such a compassionate way, Ashley. You are providing incredible support for people who might be struggling to make sense of things. If you are going through a period of grief or hardship, I would wholeheartedly recommend listening to this course.

Ashley, I’m not sure how it happened, but I found your course and meditations at just the right time. This course has helped reach a part of me that I’d stuffed down and was scared to face. I wanted to keep it hidden, so that it couldn’t bring me any more hurt. I already felt like it wasn’t possible to hurt anymore. You have given me the guidance and light to look within myself, acknowledge and look into the eyes of my grief. It’s been hard, but only now do I feel like, not only am I accepting the divorce, but also starting to heal. I can’t thank you enough. You energy is pure and your care and love has been a gift which I am most grateful for. Thank you Ashley. For anyone looking for a light in their darkest hour, this course will help bring you the space and stillness you need to care for yourself and move forward. You couldn’t ask for a better teacher. I wish you happiness, you’ve got this.
