RECORDING-November Gathered & Grounded
November theme: Processing grief & reclaiming vitality
Grief and loss are a natural part of a tapestry of life.
We are all touched by it, especially during a time of metamorphasis and change such as midlife and menopause. As a culture, we are not trained to have the skillset to be with or even talk about grief, anger, rage, disappointment. By midlife, if we have not developed our tool box ( I call these our ‘be with’ skills, meaning, skills to help us be with our big emotions) they come online double time.
Why? Because we simply do not have the "hormonal buffer" to tolerate or put up with what we may have been able to handle earlier in life.
Personal development has done a huge disservice to many of us when it comes to grief, disappointment and loss because our ‘darkness’ isn’t honored as a gift. Yet it is this very darkness that is part of our life-force, our energy that creates all things.
When grief is unmet or unintegrated, it remains in our bodies consuming a lot of our energy (often this is unconscious).
When we have the time and the space and the practices to begin to lean in to these held experiences, it often also reveals our inherent vitality in whatever way that might appear.
A glimpse of ease, lightness, spaciousness.
Curiosity in the midst of things.
So this practice of Daring to Rest Yoga Nidra will support you to begin to lean in, and cultivate the space to BE WITH what can feel dark and lonely during menopause and midlife.
Join me for a time of deep self-care and nourishment.
