A REMINDER TO SELF

GRIEF AND THE HEART CONNECTION
(simple exercises that bring comfort)

Recently two of my friend’s families have lost their loved ones. Every time I hear about someone’s passing, if feels like a part of me is lost too.
No one gets over the grief of losing a loved one. We do grieve for that person all our life, but we do learn to live with it. We do heal.
We do learn to move on in our life, but we are never the same person we were before.
Feelings are a precious treasure from the heart. Feeling the feelings helps us to heal. This healing makes us more compassionate beings, more human.
Every human relationship is sacred, we cannot afford to take our relationships for granted. Every moment of love and laughter is sacred.
Those whom we love are forever united with us in our hearts, we can never lose them. Even if they are not in their physical body, they are united in our hearts with us. And every moment we think of them, it is one grand visitation with them.

Our hearts are wise and they can see the full circle of life. The thousands of research of HeartMath institute has revealed that the heart is the seat of intuition, and the heart can tap into all dimension beyond time and space.
HeartMath institute’s research reveals that connecting with our heart’s wisdom creates a profound shift within, that helps us approach situations with more emotional balance, compassion, clarity, and personal confidence. When we connect with our heart, we not only lift ourselves up, we lift also those whom we love and we also uplift everyone around us.

Those who have left their physical existence did not disappear, they are alive and well wherever they are. And they are connected with us in our heart space. And the best respect and love we give them is to acknowledge that they are alive and well and bless them in their journey beyond time and space.

This is a simple comforting exercise I share with people who have lost their loved ones, this practice heals and brings comfort.
Sit with yourself in silence, place your hand on your heart, close your eyes, and in your mind’s eye see your loved one happy and smiling. Silently tell them from your heart that you love them so much. Just be there in that space as long as you can. This practice is so profound that people not only get comforted but they get signs and messages from their departed loved ones.
Personally, this profound practice helped me immensely during my grief. And it has been a comfort to many with whom I shared this practice.

When the emotion of grief takes over simply place your hand on your heart and sit in silence. When you get calm, imagine you are breathing in and out through your heart and not through your lungs. Do this as often as you can during the day. Experience the abundance of comfort and healing this practice brings.

Connecting with our heart is a very powerful practice. Our heart is the seat of wisdom and understanding, it comforts us and awakes us to be the best version of ourselves.
Blessings!
