Life sometimes brings us bad news.
We can feel heavy from loss.
Pain and suffering seem so hard to feel.
These challenging emotions just bring us down.
They make us want to not continue.
To hide away and just give up.
That desire can often lead us into unsupportive and unproductive behaviors.
Sometimes we fall into the trap of addiction because of it.
The self-destructive habits form that are then so hard to change.
It can seem like life is just not worth living and we don't know why we continue.
Yet there is another way to experience these emotions.
There are more choices that we haven't recognized.
Some of them may seem counter-intuitive.
And indeed they are ways we would have never thought of on our own.
How different would we feel if we sang about it, danced about it, or laughed about it?
There are so many different ways to approach grief.
Mourning our losses is just one way.
Or we create songs and sing about our pain and heartache.
Perhaps even creating our own rituals as a way of processing and facing our grief with an energy of honor and acceptance.
Imagine sitting around a campfire while we dance and sing as a way of letting our pain go into the fire.
How would that feel to you?
By bringing a more active energy to the process of mourning we can honor those who have passed while releasing the pain we feel.
And this celebration not only helps us to deal with the pain, it helps the whole community.
The heaviness and the weight of loss can be transmuted into something else.
Something lighter.
Even something more joyful.
That is truly something worth celebrating.
Can you learn to celebrate to grief in your life?
