Death Cycles | letters from Dena

Updated: Sep 6


Death Cycle
death is always followed by a period of rebirth

I opened Facebook today, and one of my teachers has posted…


“We just experienced a death. And when a death occurs the first thing to do is grieve. Everything in nature grieves and it is a natural process when our heart breaks it ends up expanding to take in more light and share more love. “ - Sandra Ingerman


We must become comfortable with the death process, both literally and figuratively. Because all deaths mark the end of something.


There is no taming death.


In the cycle of death we need to look for anything that brings the sense of creation to emerge from a place of sorrow.


Grieve.


and then


Plant Seeds of Love.


This can be through expressions of art, poetry, vision boards, gardening, music, and more.


Journey into the depths of your soul, especially in moments of loss and find a seed of potential to nurture.


We suffer a million figurative deaths over the course of our lifetimes, and each of these death cycles is an opportunity to learn that we may bend, we may break in places…and we most certainly. will never be the same,


But we will get through the storm.


You will get through this.




Self-Reflection:


What am I mourning?


Did any part of this need to fall away?


What is one thing I can do to bring something positive forward from the ashes?
