Hi friends, it's Sarah May.

This is a little power up episode for anyone who is dealing with loss or grief and is in that moment of just really not wanting to be in their body.

It's a meditation that I just learned that I find amazing and I think it's really one of the few

meditations that helps for grief.

So firstly I will say I'm sorry I'm sorry you're in pain and I'm with you and I I feel with you and I feel for you and know that this is just the

shittiest part of life just you gotta move through You got to not pay too much attention to it. You just got to go through the motions. Just function.

Go through a day and then wake up and then do it again and then wake up and do it again

Wake up and do it again and don't try and analyze it don't try and measure it or look at it as how long it is or how bad it is or

just don't measure it in the context of the rest of life. Just know what it is and move

through it and know that it will end. And your job is to just soothe and take care of

yourself as best you can. Just soothe your chemicals, go overboard in the just so

soothe your chemicals,

go overboard in the managing of those chemicals,

so lots and lots of exercise,

a ridiculous amount of sunshine, a stupid amount of

human contact with people who love you.

Just even though your brain is not in it

and your body's not in it, just put yourself in those places and know that it is helping you

whether or not you can feel the effects. Just don't let yourself succumb to come to the urge to sleep to the urge to wallow. I mean that said

sometimes you just got to cry you just got to be in it you got to be sad

and gotta be in the most sad place you can be but as soon as you're done, you got to pick yourself up and you got to work really hard to

manage your chemicals. And that's really what the name of the game is for a while.
