Like a clock, autumn brings an uptick in patients coming in to process grief, feeling stuck, heavy struggling to experience the joy of the sun.
Grief depletes qi. This depletion lays the groundwork for dampness, heaviness, for clouds. Clouds obscure the sun, the fire element, laughter, delight.
An acupuncture point that I use with success for treating grief is Lung 2, Yimen, or Cloud Gate because it “Clears grief that obscures the heart”.
Is your grief creating clouds that obscure the sun?
My friend and colleague, Sol Garcia, is a coach who works in the realm of grief. They are hosting a Dia De Los Muertos “celebration of grief” retreat in Mexico next month. I cannot imagine a more concentrated opportunity to tend to the parts of you that want to be held in their grief. You can learn more and register for the retreat opens in a new window::HERE::
