Grief Journey Check In
I’m moving through yet another unexpected gauntlet in my grief journey.
From late November to late March in the north east, we are pretty much home bound due to the weather.
Before the cold came in and the land went fallow, I did a lot preparation for my self care. One of the ways I had been supporting my grief was to get time in nature everyday, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to do that over the winter.
And winter went pretty smoothly. I ate well, made sure I got to the gym, had an enough to stay reasonably busy, and there aren’t as many 1st holidays on this side of the calendar.
Then Easter came, and the “he is risen narrative hit the collective”
I hadn’t been preparing to have a big upset at Easter because it’s not been a major celebration for our family, so I don’t have a whole lot of memories to pair with it. Sure there are things we did here and there, but we had no held fast traditions for this holiday.
As Easter neared, I felt all of my open channels shutting down, and by the time we were at the Precipice of Easter weekend I was in a state of stasis, feeling quite depressed, but also numb.
Not long ago I began a podcast. In a lot of ways, I began it for my children, and for my clients and followers. Its not about astrology, or grief, in particular. It's about me. A place for me to record what is alive and real. And I've covered several different topics.
This morning I did an episode about my grief journey. A place I haven't been as vocal recently. Its vulnerable, and I believe it's in service. Have a listen if you feel called. Link in the comments.
*You'll understand why I chose this art, if you listen to the podcast episode.
In SkyDancer, my 9 month transformational container of Venus Alchemy, we are working with Venus at the Heart Chakra. The “Demon” of the Heart Chakra is undigested grief, which is absolutely what this episode is in service too. What happens when undigested grief comes in, and how can we meet it? How is undigested grief, paralysis, stasis, and numbing really part of a larger resistance pattern?
In this episode I cover the importance of alchemy, and how to unblock our channels of creativity when they get clogged. Along with all the personal journey of grief.
