Lead me from Grief to Love!!

  • Become aware of the body's sensations

  • Acceptance - no like or dislike for the sensations

  • Allow and Release

Grief is a complex and challenging emotion that can have a significant impact on an individual's overall wellbeing. Grief is typically associated with the loss of someone or something that was significant to an individual. This can include the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, or any other significant change or transition.

In Yogic science, the Heart chakra, also known as Anahata in Sanskrit, is associated with emotions such as love, compassion, and forgiveness. When the Heart chakra is blocked or unbalanced, individuals may experience a range of emotional and physical symptoms, including feelings of sadness, isolation, and grief.

Grief can have a profound impact on the Heart chakra, as it can lead to feelings of heartache, emotional pain, and disconnection. When individuals experience grief, they may feel a sense of emptiness or loss in the area of the chest where the Heart chakra is located. This can manifest as physical symptoms such as tightness or pain in the chest.

Grief and Yogic Science

In Yogic science, grief is viewed as a natural and important aspect of the human experience. According to Yogic philosophy, life is characterized by a series of cycles, and loss and grief are inevitable parts of this cycle.

The Heart chakra, or Anahata, is the chakra associated with emotions such as love, compassion, and forgiveness. When the Heart chakra is blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to a range of emotional and physical symptoms, including feelings of sadness and grief.

Through practices such as asana, pranayama, and meditation, individuals can work to open the Heart chakra and release emotions that may be blocking it. For example, gentle yoga poses that focus on opening the chest and upper back can be effective in releasing feelings of grief and promoting emotional healing.

Meditation is also a powerful tool for working with grief in the context of Yogic science. One specific practice that can be particularly helpful is Yoga Nidra, a form of guided meditation that involves deep relaxation and visualization. During Yoga Nidra, individuals are guided through a series of visualizations and affirmations that can help to release negative emotions and promote emotional healing.

Another powerful practice for working with grief is Bhakti Yoga, the Yoga of devotion. Bhakti Yoga involves cultivating a deep sense of love and devotion towards the divine, and can be especially helpful for individuals who are struggling with feelings of grief and loss.

Heart Chakra Meditation:

Chanting "YAM": The beej mantra (seed sound) for the root chakra is "Vam." Chanting this sound for five minutes can help activate and balance the chakra.

Affirmations: Repeating affirmations such as "I am safe and grounded" or "I trust the universe to provide for me" can help shift your thoughts towards feelings of safety and security. Other affirmations that can help balance the root chakra include "I am worthy of pleasure and joy," "I am connected to my emotions," and "I allow my emotions to flow freely."

Grounding exercises: Connecting with the water bodies such as walking near a lake, river, or beach, spending time in nature, or practicing yoga outdoors (possibly near a water body) can help balance the sacral chakra.
