It fills you with feels and lingers a long time, because grief is a complex. It is a layered journey that affects us on every level: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. When we experience loss, it can feel as though our entire world has been upended, and the process of healing and moving forward can be a long and challenging one. For those who have experienced the mother wound, the journey of grief can be especially difficult, as it may involve letting go of past pain and trauma in order to make space for a new, more empowering future.
Anahata
At the heart of this process is the heart chakra, which governs our ability to give and receive love. When we experience loss and grief, this chakra can become blocked, leading to feelings of isolation, fear, and pain. In order to move through the grief process and release the mother wound, it is essential to work with the heart chakra and cultivate a deeper sense of self-love and acceptance.
One way to do this is by exploring and grieving the past. This may involve acknowledging the pain and trauma that we have experienced, as well as working to release any negative beliefs or patterns that may be holding us back. Through practices such as journaling, meditation, and yoga, we can tap into our inner wisdom and begin to release the wounds of the past, paving the way for a brighter, more joyful future.
An Evolution of the Heart
As the author Cheryl Strayed notes, “grief is not a task to finish, and move on from, but an element of yourself–an alteration of your being.” When we are able to fully embrace this truth and work through the grief process with compassion and self-love, we can emerge on the other side stronger, more resilient, and more fully aligned with our own divine feminine energy.
So if you are experiencing grief or the mother wound, know that you are not alone. Grief is complex but with gratitude, we can accept the tools that thread through our lives to help us find solace. Through yogic tools and practices, you can begin to release the pain of the past and step into a more loving, empowered future. Remember to be gentle with yourself throughout this process, and to trust in your own inner wisdom and intuition.
