Take a slow inhale through the nose… hold for a gentle beat… and exhale like you’re letting a heavy coat slide off your shoulders. Now imagine soft morning light touching the edge of a dark room—nothing forced, just a steady light with warmth returning. — Grief is love with nowhere to land. But you can give it a home, here is how… If you’re in grief right now, let me say this plainly: you are not “broken.” You are adjusting to a loss and a new reality while still loving the old one. In metaphysical terms, grief is a kind of energy—dense, sacred, and honest. It’s love moving through a nervous system that’s overwhelmed. Your job isn’t to “get rid of it.” Your job is to help it move. Here’s a gentle way to shift, even 1% today: 1. Name the wave (don’t become it). Say: “Grief is here.” Not “I am grief.” That tiny language shift creates space between your awareness and your pain (Eckhart Tolle calls this the power of presence). 2. Give grief a container. Set a 10-minute timer. Let grief speak—journal, cry, pray, shake out your hands. When the timer ends, put a hand on your heart and say: “Thank you. I’ll return later.” This teaches your system: “I can feel this without drowning in it.” 3. Move the energy out of the body. Grief pools when we freeze. Try this 90-second reset: • Inhale 4 seconds • Exhale 6 seconds • While exhaling, gently press your feet into the floor Do 6 rounds. Darkness loosens when the body remembers safety. 4. Speak to the love underneath. Ask: “What is the love in this grief trying to protect?” That question turns suffering into meaning—and meaning is medicine. 5. One “living thread” a day. Text someone. Sit in sunlight. Walk around the block. Drink water slowly. Grief often lifts through tiny proofs that life is still here—and you’re still in it. JOURNAL THIS… If you want, drop one word for what your grief feels like today (e.g., heavy, numb, restless). Make sure you breathe. Tell your feelings to your Journal. MOVING FORWARD You don’t have to be “over it” to be moving forward. You just have to keep choosing the next gentle breath.

Acknowledging Where You Are It feels like your energy may be unsettled or dispersed today—perhaps pulled outward by your thoughts, responsibilities, or emotional noise. That’s not a flaw; it’s a signal. As Eckhart Tolle reminds us, “The body always lives in the present moment.” When we return to it, we return to Now. Gently Exploring the Trigger Often when our energy feels ungrounded, we’ve been living slightly ahead of ourselves—in anticipation, worry, or mental overdrive. Or we’ve given our attention away without replenishing it. Nothing to fix—just something to notice. Reflective Insight Grounding isn’t about forcing stillness; it’s about allowing gravity to love on YOU. Wayne Dyer spoke of choosing inner alignment over outer societal control—this is one of those moments. You don’t need to rise higher today; you need to settle and go deeper. Simple Grounding Practice (5 minutes) 1. Sit or stand with your spine relaxed, not rigid. 2. Place one hand on your lower belly, one on your heart. 3. Breathe slowly and say silently on the exhale: “I am here.” 4. Imagine roots growing from your feet, anchoring you gently into the earth. 5. When thoughts arise, let them pass like clouds—no engagement, no resistance. If you like, afterward drink a glass of water slowly, mindfully—hydration is a physical act of grounding. A Small Daily Anchor Today, pause once every few hours and feel your feet—inside your shoes, against the floor. Just 10 seconds. This trains your nervous system to stop drifting and come home to the Present Moment. Closing Metaphysics Blessing May the earth steady you, May your breath remember its rhythm, May your energy settle like soft rain into fertile soil. You are held. You are present. You are enough—right here, right now.

Let’s do this gently and honestly.... let's start with Breathwork 1) Centering breath + visualization (60 seconds) Take a slow inhale through your nose for 4… hold for 2… and exhale for 6.Again: inhale 4… hold 2… exhale 6. Now imagine you’re standing barefoot on warm earth at sunrise. With each exhale, your shoulders soften. With each inhale, the light warms your chest—like a quiet “yes” returning to you. 2) What “authentic self” usually means (in plain terms) Your authentic self is rarely something you create. It’s what’s left when you stop performing, appeasing, proving, and bracing. Wayne Dyer would call it pulling your own strings—not letting other people’s approval, guilt, or expectations move you like a puppet. Eckhart Tolle would point to the stillness beneath the noise: the part of you that’s aware, steady, and already whole. 3) A quick self-check: where did you leave yourself? Take one breath and answer softly (out loud or in your mind): - Where in my life am I “editing” myself the most?(With a partner? Family? Work? Friends?) - What emotion shows up when I stop editing?(Fear? Shame? Grief? Anger? Relief?) - What am I afraid would happen if I were fully me? If anything feels tender, pause and take one slow exhale. That tenderness is often the doorway. 4) The “True Self vs. Adapted Self” map (Bradshaw-inspired) John Bradshaw taught that many of us develop a false self to survive—especially if love felt conditional. So let’s identify yours without judgment. Adapted self signs: - people-pleasing, over-explaining, perfectionism - scanning for others’ reactions - feeling guilty for having needs - saying yes when your body says no Authentic self signals (often quieter): - a grounded “no” without drama - simple preferences (music, food, pace, solitude) - clean desires (create, rest, connect, learn) - a body that feels more settled than tight Put a hand on your chest and ask: “What do I know is true… even if I’m scared to admit it?”Wait for the first simple sentence. That’s usually the real one.
