My experience in counseling is that the people who try to control their grief are the people who suffer the most in their grief. Yes, it's like riding an unclimbed bronco: you don't get to control the grief, but you do get to control yourself right now.
Ever wondered how mindfulness can ease the pain of grief? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods chats with Heather Stang, the author of 'Mindfulness & Grief'. Heather shares how mindfulness meditation can be a powerful tool to reduce physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual suffering. The conversation dives into the benefits of mindfulness, which is now recognized by mainstream medical and mental health professionals for its healing properties.
Heather explains how this ancient practice is used in hospitals to manage chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and even heart disease. The best part? It’s easy to learn, costs nothing, and can be practiced anywhere. Heather emphasizes that if you can breathe, you can be mindful. The episode also explores the concept of post-traumatic growth, highlighting how individuals can experience positive changes following trauma.
Through personal stories and practical advice, Heather and Mary discuss the biological purpose of grief and offer tools to incorporate mindfulness into daily life. By tuning in, you'll gain insights into how mindfulness can help you connect with nature, manage negative self-talk, and ultimately transform through loss.
