The world's great spiritual traditions offer many paths to healing wisdom. Sometimes it is helpful to step outside of your normal mode of response and experience and look at your situation from a different perspective. Carolyn Myss and Peter Occhiogrosso have created a deck of Healing Cards that highlight important insights from these healing traditions (http://www.hayhouse.com/). Here is an example:
Resisting change leads to illness. Accepting change brings about peace.
Embrace the changes in your life. Release what you no longer need, and welcome the seed of new experience.
In your grief journey you have experienced many changes. Perhaps you have fought these changes. Perhaps you are angry or scared or lonely. This is all part of the healing process, but sometimes it is difficult to break away from these feelings even after they no longer serve us. If you see yourself caught by reactions, thoughts, and feelings that no longer serve you, how can you create the intention to release what you no longer need? Is there a seed of new experience you choose to plant and nurture for your new and changed self?
