A good friend passed unexpectedly on Wednesday.  I was surprised when her daughter and husband led Sensory Awareness today in her place.  She was meant to lead today and clearly she was on the Zoom call as we experienced when we shared.

Her husband led something that sounds simple and yet is profound.  I offer it now.

After coming to quiet, come to standing.  Using your dominant hand, write in the air the name of the person who passed and your own name, and see and feel what happens.  Give yourself at least ten minutes for this.

You may end up using both hands, and writing large or small.  Creativity.  Guidance. Trust.

I won’t share my experience, only offer the invitation as a way to heal and connect with someone who has passed, or maybe someone who is still “here”.  

Today we shared the kindness, generosity, creativity, and joy with which this woman lived. We connected in the heart-opening warmth and sharing of tears, memories, and breath.
