Mindfulness & Loss


Hello again Mindful people!


Loss is a part of life. Recently it has become evident. We have lost routines, resources, health, bonds, loved ones, freedoms. Everyone of us has gone through significant losses for the last two years. Luckily, our bodies are quite wise in keeping the score of our losses. The mind forgets but the body does not so we can heal.


One of the ways to address and honor our losses is to connect with our body. According to Nazareth Castellanos, It is actually easier for the brain to notice the body than to calm its thoughts. Once we have acknowledged the loss sensations in the body we can start closing the stress cycle.


Mindfulness offers accessible options to notice the body and all of the sensations that loss can come with.


Here you can find activities to meet that goal.
