Grief: our a portal to the essentials of your soul — what you love(d), long(ed) for, and desire. It brings forth, sometimes in tsunamis, echoes of your heart.
In this Episode: 8+ tools on how to heal and deeply meet your grief, 8+ tools on how to heal and deeply meet your grief with your body’s wisdom, whether unnamable or unidentifiable grief, death or loss of a loved one or situation, ending or separation, from healing past traumas, shadow work and desires unmet.
