Letting Go
Mindfulness in Times of Bereavement and Grief. Course 2G with EIAB Monastics.
This course is designed for students who have not yet been able to overcome their grief as a result of bereavement or divorce and separation. It is also open to those who, like psychotherapists and counselors, are engaged in helping the bereaved.
The practices taught will include:
- Abdominal breathing in order not to be carried away by waves of emotion;
- Being in touch with one’s grief in a way that is compassionate and mindful: not strengthening and at the same time not repressing the grief;
- Looking deeply into and resolving feelings of remorse and regret;
- Looking deeply into the nature of impermanence, no-self and interbeing in order to be able to see the no-coming, no-going, unborn and undying nature of all that is.
