The Nest & Nurture Podcast

In Episode 14, Lisha walks you through a visualization meditation to assist you in the process of sitting in grief. It is currently Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month and Lisha felt it would be important to provide an exercise to help assist in processing grief and loss. We often move through life, attending to all of our priorities, without providing the space and time to really sit in grief and allow the feelings to come through to help us process it. Lisha describes the importance of attuning to your grief, the support people who can assist with this process, and walks you through a visualization to help process the impact loss and grief may have on our mental health and well-being. This episode is for anyone who hopes to have a space to sit in any form of grief or loss, process, learn and grow. Couple this session with something that you enjoy, as it can bring many different emotions with it. If you'd like to skip ahead to the visualization meditation, please start your podcast at 7m47s.
