Welcome to Creating a Meaningful Life, where we explore the unseen energies that shape our world—and the soul wisdom that helps us navigate them.
Today, we want to talk about something tender.
Something sacred.
Something we all carry in one form or another: grief.
Now, when we think of grief, we often think of death. Of loss. Of something—or someone—being gone.
But grief is more expansive than that. It can be the ache of letting go of a dream. The silent sorrow of losing a version of yourself. The bittersweet unraveling of a relationship, a home, a belief.
Grief is not just an emotion. It’s energy. And it doesn’t live only in our minds. It lives in the body. In the lungs. In the chest. In the heart. It can feel heavy. Dense. Like we’re moving through molasses or trying to breathe underwater.
But here’s the truth: grief has intelligence.
It knows how to move. It just needs space to do so.
In many cultures, grief is seen as a sacred teacher. It strips away everything false. It humbles us. It opens us. And it calls us back to what matters most.
But the thing is—grief doesn’t respond well to being silenced or rushed. It doesn’t want to be fixed. It wants to be felt. It wants to be moved.
So how do we support the energetic release of grief? Not by solving it. Not by explaining it away. But by creating gentle rituals of movement. Breath. Stillness.
Here are a few simple practices:
- Cry. Let the body speak its language. Tears are sacred messengers.
- Walk in nature. Let the wind, the trees, the ground beneath your feet carry what words cannot.
- Create. Art, music, journaling—grief moves through expression.
- Light a candle. Whisper what hurts. Let the flame hold it for you.
- Breathe. Deep, conscious breaths into the tight places. Into the ribs. Into the heart.
Grief isn’t something we “get over.” It’s something we learn to walk with.
And with each wave that rises and falls, we are offered the chance to release.
To soften.
To reclaim.
You don’t forget.
You don’t erase.
You integrate.
You alchemize.
You become.
So if you’re grieving today—whether the world sees it or not—I want you to know: You are not broken. You are not behind. You are simply in process. And grief? It’s not the end. It’s a sacred turning point.
Grief is not the end—it’s an initiation. Choose one ritual, light a candle, and begin again. Let this moment be the turning point where sorrow becomes sacred strength. If this resonates, leave a comment with the ritual you’ll begin today.
