The Vital Goddess

A Simple Sensual Embodiment Practice to Process Grief


Listen Later

Grief is a part of the human experience.

No doubt about that.

Grief is something that (in general) modern society is really bad at.

But I think we’re getting better.

New awareness and ways of supporting people in the grief process is growing rapidly and that’s very encouraging.

Being supported, heard and witnessed by caring humans while in a deep grief process is so important.

In addition to skilled counseling, kindness and compassion from others (and giving ourselves spaciousness and time), we can also offer ourselves somatic or body-based support.

I feel that having tools to process grief through the body is an essential part of the healing.

Our emotions are a powerful guidance system.

When we put our emotions in motion, the unique gifts that reside within that  emotion become available to us.

While the experience of grief can be very intense, there is always a gift within that experience.

There are ways we can allow grief to move more fluidly through the body; ways that can bring more ease and relief to the nervous system.

This might sound odd, but when we bring our sensuality into our grief it can help liberate stuck energy, soothe us, help us move through the experience with more self love and  find our center in the midsts of a loss.

I feel that having tools to process grief through the body is essential to holistic self care.

In this episode I share a bit about my own experience with grief and offer a simple sensual ritual that I often use to move grief (big G and little g) through my body.

I hope this will bring you comfort and support when things get heavy.

Let’s dive in!
