Dancing with Grief

Many a times grief knocks our door owing to our childhood experiences, for loss of a social life, for lack of resonating connections or for some of the core wounds such as rejection, shaming, judgement or abandonment.

Sometimes grief is not our own but it comes as unprocessed emotions of our ancestors, past life karmas or imprints and so on.

Grief can pay us a visit for some of these reasons and at times for no reason at all.

Grief is an emotion or rather a state which if not lived fully, not processed completely in a Safe Space and manner, can lead to illness, dis-ease, depression, anger issues and disconnection from one’s true self.

If we donot allow the cycle of grief to be fully experienced, it may leave more scars and wounds.

Our society lacks awareness on the importance of grief and grieving let alone understand the sacredness of this journey. We have been conditioned to be stoic, be brave, tough it out and move on.

Yes, the wheel of life always moves forward and we all must move forward with time. But can spring move into summer if it has not lived being spring fully?

Can we experience sunrise without the night or can we directly experience sunset without sunrise and noon?

Unless any cycle is complete,how can we truly move on?

Each emotion is sacred. Feeling is healing. But, grief often becomes a lonely journey because of the shame associated with it. Moreover, it takes great courage to be able to grieve,cry or be vulnerable.

Either the society isolates us by not understanding our grief or we isolate ourselves when a grief wave hits us.

Everyone is different and everyone grieves differently. That said, we all need a community and a safe container to go through our intense emotions.

Grief sticks into our body and cells and can create havoc with our hormones, thereby causing several mental, emotional and physical disturbances.

Grief/grieving period requires a special nurturing, hand holding and care. Not many of us have the privilege and a safe space to vent and express our grief without shame or judgement (self inflicted or by others).

Grief Circles

We shall gather in a sacred circle, intermittently. Together, we shall hold space for each other, share our stories, allow ourselves to be held, heard, deeply seen and fully witnessed. We shall endeavour to return back to safety, in mind, body and spirit.
