Pause episodes, identified by the white raven on the podcast cover, aim to strengthen the connection between your mind and body and help you develop a sense of calm and grounding. Through practicing mindfulness and mental focus, we enhance blood flow to the brain's left hemisphere and promote overall well-being.

Today, we'll work on maintaining a connection with our bodies as we respectfully acknowledge and process feelings of grief. I'll guide you in shifting your perspective and provide a set of mindful exercises to help you realign your internal roadmap.

In this episode we:

3:54 – Seek to reorganize our internal strategy in the face of grief

11:13 – Practice breathing exercises to gently hold space for and stay with our grief

17:53 – Stay in touch with our grief and give ourselves comfort

18:04 – Reset our body with the help of the "Butterfly Hug" 

23:19 – Practice the "Fog Horn" exercise

29:01 – Look for safe people who can help support us in holding space for the grief we're feeling
