How to Recover from Grief
Loss is a part of life. The more we're attached to something the worse it feels when it slips away. Our natural reaction is to cage our grief up. But then it only turns to anger and sadness. The way through it is to experience our feelings rather than hiding them from ourselves. Here's an example of someone doing it.
What is your name?
T. M.
If, for some odd reason, you could no longer do this type of emotional processing, would you be: very disappointed, somewhat disappointed, or not disappointed?

What is the worst moment from before you knew how to process your emotions?
Loss of a child
What is the best moment after you learned how to process your emotions?
Processing the loss of my Husband
How has your attitude changed from before your training to after?
Much more positive. Less sad
How hard was it to learn to be aware of your sensations and your mind-body connection?
This is a very easy process.

Relaxing, thinking I need to understand what my body was feeling.
What stopped you from doing this sooner?
Not understanding the effect it would have on me. skeptical.
It's a challenging process, but something that we are made to do. That's why I worked for two years on figuring out a better way to coach people through how to do it. A way that eventually does away with needing a coach, because we have the ability within us. Once you have that skill it's with you all the time, whenever and wherever you need it. It begins and ends with feeling, step by step. There is no life without feeling, and by learning to feel more we become more alive. Awaken your soul, unlock your grief, and free your anger and sadness.
