Mindfulness and Meditation for Grief

Practicing mindfulness means being fully present in the moment. The goal is to be aware of your thoughts and feelings and accept them as they are — which can help you manage your emotions, and feel happier and healthier overall.

Guided Meditation for Grief & Healing  (video meditation) There are few emotional states harder to meditate with than grief. In this meditation you’ll work to feel grief as it is without focusing on the details that surround it. By going past the storyline, painful circumstances can become more manageable. If you’re able to simply focus your attention on the breath, I recommend starting with that, as it creates a sense of calm in the body. Learning to sit with and breathe with grief can enable us to see our own power for healing within ourselves.Guided Meditation for Grief & Healing.
