First of all, if you are a Momma, Happy Mother's Day! I hope you feel loved, recognized, nourished, and given space to connect with your wholeness today!

 

If you are grieving your relationship to your mother or child, the loss of a mother, child, or pregnancy, not being a mother, anticipating the loss of your mother, being in a different season of life than the mommas in your life, or feeling any other of the many other ‘grey areas of grief’ and pain that can arise today, I see you and am with you. May you you have space to move with all that is present today.

 

If you are craving some guided tending on your own time today, this morning's Grief Flow Ceremony was intimate and rich, and the replay is now available.

 

The recording is 70 minutes long. The experience begins with a short centering meditation and then I ease you into 30 minutes of a guided, music-supported meditative and movement practice that will deepen you into presence with, and release of, any emotion that is moving. The last 30 minutes of the flow lead you through a beautiful, heart-connected integration of your experience and this Mother's Day. 

 

While I can never predict what exactly will arise for you in this process, a common thing I hear afterward is, “This is exactly what I needed today.” It is medicinal to the heart, body and soul.

 

ACCESS THE REPLAY

During the Grief Flows, I am always listening for messages that want to come through. Today, half way through, the phrase “Your beingness is more than enough" popped in. 

 

This is a phrase that 2.5 years ago really stuck out to me in an email I received amidst the dark feeling second half of my first year without my mom. I was feeling exhausted and wanting to be beyond where I was in my grief journey, and this phrase invited me into presence and acceptance with exactly where I was. 

 

I shared it with one of my close friends, and she often texts it to me on hard days still. 

 

Today it arose again for all. 

 

May you feel free to be as you are today. May you sense and connect with your wholeness and fullness, and all that is alive in you. May you know that your beingness is more than enough, today and everyday.

Sending you all of my love today,

Ellie


What is a Grief Flow Ceremony?

A Grief Flow Ceremony is a meditation and instrumental music based experience I created after the death of my mom.  The event will begin with a short introduction and reflection, and then I will lead you in a guided meditation that connects you to your body and greater energy, and gives you space to connect with any grief as it is moving in and around you.

 

Once we are settled in a connected energy, I will press play on a curated playlist and will guide you in sensing how the music is awakening or soothing you and in following the intuitive expressions of your body as a way of engaging and processing with your emotions. The playlist lasts for 30ish minutes, and I guide you through the whole musical journey, giving cues and prompts where I am intuitively called to support your experience. 

 

For some people, they will feel called to lie still as the music moves them inwardly.  Others will feel the drive to get up and dance, write, paint, or engage actively in another way.  

 

We will conclude with space for integration, sharing and witnessing.

 

As simple as it sounds, this process is extremely liberating, and truly beautiful beyond words.
