The October Feminine Energy Circle will happen on FRIDAY Oct 20 from 5:30-7:30 at Yoga Jones.
This month we will be exploring, discussing and learning some things about how to be with the unavoidable human experience of grief and loss.
Life gives us so much richness, so much joy, so much love. It provides us with dreams and inspiration. And when we allow our hearts to be open to these beautiful reflections of Love in our lives, it is with the tacit knowing that someday this particular manifestation of Love will end. We will inevitably face the loss and have to grieve that which as brought us such joy. Grief and the feelings of heartbreak, betrayal and loss are all powerful portals into the experience of the contrasting darkness that is commensurate to the level of Love that we felt for the thing we have lost.
We grieve the loss of people, pets, places, experiences, loss of health or function, loss of hopes and dreams. But when our hearts feel broken, remember that it is never the heart that breaks—it is cracking the mind’s strong attachment to the thing that we Loved so dearly. Our soul gives us the reluctantly received gift of revealing just how much love we were able to shine on that which we have lost. In these painful, sometimes seemingly endless dives into the abyss, we have an opportunity to allow the pain to be felt and processed. As we feel the pain of loss, as our hearts crack wide open, our love expands more and more—and if we are able to stay in the vulnerable tenderness that this cracking open provides, it gives us the gift of even more space and capacity to love and be loved.
Love never dies, but our human experiences are constantly dying and being reborn. Life is a becoming, always in transition—so we will repeatedly be thrown into the experiences of loss and grief. And then we will inevitably be reborn into new life. New loves. New experiences that contain an even richer experience of the Love that you are.
