How Grief Became My Teacher
|
I used to keep grief at arms length. I repressed it into the deepest crevices of my body. I held it tightly in my chest and my belly. Honestly, I didn’t even know how to grieve. In my 20’s I remember the floodgates opening for the first time. I was sitting in the park and feeling the warmth of the sunshine on my skin. The warmth of the sunshine also landed on my chest. I felt tears rolling down my face as the frozenness inside me melted. Grief showed up again me after a romantic breakup. Grief knocked on my door up when my grandma passed. Grief visited me when I was transitioning from jobs that no longer served me. Grief, I realized, was a visitor that I needed to become more intimate with. I needed to be-friend it, so it no longer felt so big or so scary or so overwhelming. After reading books about grief and working with people who helped me to process it, I feel much more comfortable with it now days. I KNOW that it’s futile to resist. The more I surrender to the flow of grief, the easier my grieving process feels. As the grief moves through, I feel lighter. I feel more spacious. I feel like something new is on the horizon. And... I feel an integration weaving its way inside of me. Life experiences turning into wisdom. ____________ One of the reasons I decided to create a course on grief was so people could have the resources I wish I did when I was moving through the emotional rollercoaster... not having a map... nor a guide at the time. I am currently offering a grief course at a discounted rate of $59. The offer is valid till August 31st.
Be well. Warmly, Gayane Kulikyan |

Do you ever notice how armored you tend to be? That subtle sense of being separate from everyone else—feeling different, unique, somehow outside the circle? I used to live in that space often. I remember, about a decade ago, a coach telling me, “I feel you standing on an island.” He was using his felt sense to perceive me energetically. My armor served me well. It preserved my way of being and seeing the world. But it also felt lonely. The wall of protection leaves little room for connection....
