Episode Summary
I am talking today with Morgan Wade, a somatic therapist and hypnotherapist specializing in intimacy and embodiment. We are in unprecedented times with a global pandemic shifting life as we have known it. I believe we are on the precipice of dropping deeper into a society based in community instead of currency and for that I am excited. We are seeing how humanity is rising up to a global crisis and frankly I am proud, but we are also experiencing very real levels of collective grief pertaining to such dramatic change, as well as personal grief and loss from the virus itself. I wanted to get to some real talk about grief for support and understanding. We will explore the language of grief that comes after the sudden loss of a person and how it can be an access point to raw vulnerability and spirit, how loss is human and moments of enlightenment can sometimes be found on a kitchen or bathroom floor and we also look at how grief can become our teacher. We touch briefly on the stages of grief, but more so on the process of finding meaning in grief. In the end, our conversation becomes a beautifully woven exploration of this earth school ride that we are all on together, in community in these human bodies and in our hearts. As someone who had spent many years of my life in grief, this episode means the world to me. I want to offer some support to the many people out there experiencing loss on any plane and to normalize the gravity of what they may be feeling. I also want to offer support to the communities of those very same people so they might be able to hold space a little more without fear. Morgan offers exquisite insights from all sides.
