So Let’s Begin…
GRIEF MEDITATION SCRIPT
Take a slow, filling breath,
Let it sink in deep.
And, allow yourself to focus,
letting the tension release.
PAUSE
Stay with those feelings,
As they dissipate your stress,
And leave you open and aware
Of what you want to express.
PAUSE
There are times in life,
When our grief is like a slide,
It sends mood downward,
And it feels like an endless ride.
PAUSE
It opens a pit in your core,
With pain you want to kill.
You try everything to suppress it,
But the pain comes back still.
PAUSE
Grief is a feeling
That finds you when you hide,
Then sends you spiraling,
Farther down the slide.
PAUSE
So, breathe very deep.
Go ahead and scream and cry.
Let out all the pain
That keeps lurking inside.
PAUSE
For it will pause eventually,
And give you peace,
And you’ll feel a bit better,
When you let these emotions release.
PAUSE
So, when you’re on the grief slide,
Whizzing down fast,
Imagine grabbing hold of the sides,
Until the feelings pass.
Then visualize, if you can,
Inching back up the slide,
Getting to the top,
Where you started the ride.
And give yourself a break,
Or maybe a pat on the back,
No matter where you climb to,
You’ve made progress–that’s a fact.
PAUSE
And the next time your grief,
Pries open your core,
And you’re compelled to fill it
With something more.
Imagine your hands,
Holding onto each side,
And pushing yourself back up
To the top of the slide.
PAUSE
Then breathe.
And breathe.
And breathe.
PAUSE
Just give yourself space and know,
This how you handle your grief,
And that in time, it will pass,
And bring you relief.
Blessings.
NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
