In the past few years I have left a marriage, a work environment, religious community, many psychological paradigms + a host of outgrown relationships. In that process I have rebuilt myself + am building a community of like minded individuals also deconstructing and reconstructing their world.

So I think I can speak for all of us when I say…we tieedd! Okay?

Breathe friend. This is world building, courageous, tough love work. If you are grieving while growing there is nothing wrong with you. In fact, it’s very important you allow yourself moments to just grieve and be with your heart. It’s working very hard for you.

Technology can now track that coherence between the electromagnetic fields of the mind + heart can be achieved when breathing at a rhythm of 6 seconds in + 6 seconds out. This state of coherence helps regulate the nervous system, reduce emotional overwhelm, and create the internal safety needed to process complex feelings like grief.

The meditation below uses Delta frequency, Coherence Breathing + Neurolinguistic Programming to help you sit with and integrate your grief. I’ve included some journal prompts for deeper embodiment and integration.
