"GRIEF". A single word for a complex multitude of emotions. Grief is an emotional response to a loss. Often grief is associated with death, but we can also grieve other losses such as unemployment, ill health, relocation, the state of the world or the end of a friendship or relationship. The reasons for grief and heartbreak differ, but the outcome is similar. Grieving goes beyond sadness, implanting itself within every cell of our body making a deep impression on our soul. Apathy, hopelessness, sadness, difficulties with sleep, changes in appetite, despair, and other drastic symptoms appear with the feeling of grief. It impacts physical health and can give us that sinking feeling also known as a “pit in the stomach” that never seems to go away.
One tool I have right on my desk and I find myself misting several times a day is my Healing Heart Ritual Mist from my AURA blend. collection. The oils I chose in creating the blend are as healing and nurturing as they come.
As a healing practitioner, I am bringing all my tools out of my toolbox and as other practitioners I talk with, we feel compelled to 'shine our light' however we can to help those that are struggling. My message to you today is to make time to practice self-care and love. During times like this, especially for those of us living in Minnesota, is it so important we take those moments to acknowledge our time on this earth can be hard, keep your heart open, and you cannot control other people's emotions, but you can control yours. Have a beautiful day of blessings:)
