Grief can feel like a trap, a trick, a scam. It can take the rug out from under you, and take over your day in a flash. We might hear about grief being an expression of love, but how can we entertain that idea when our hearts are caked in loss?
You’ll receive a new integration practice each day to move you from being wrecked by grief into keeping company with it.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, grief and sadness are housed in the lungs and large intestine and by moving the Qi in those organs and meridians, we create space for Grief to be, loosening the hold grief has on our body and mind.
Also, there is a Spirit connected to each organ and for the lungs, this is the Po. In Keeping Company With Grief you’ll learn practices to accompany the Po, helping you stay clear and receptive to your feelings as they arise.
Then all this rounds out with dropping the story. The stories or context in which we experience loss are real, and there's more to be known. When we experience loss separate from story, the sensations of Grieving are set free to integrate harmoniously.
Practice makes integration possible.
Loss can wear us down. By embracing reality with moving, stretching and Qi flow we free the energetic body and engage the parasympathetic nervous system to regulate and replenish you. Keeping Company With Grief is an opportunity for you to commit to being with your grief and reap the benefits of that decision. From one day to the next you'll build capacity to be with the depth of your feelings.
“Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom”
― Rumi

My name is Lamia. I have been unknowingly integrating grief since 1985 and consciously developing grief integration skills since 2012. As a brilliant little being I experienced a lot of loss. What I did with it was remarkable (for a wee kiddo) and has become a major part of my life's work. I was raised by deeply compassionate humans who had abundant love, but didn’t have skills to meet my tremendous sadness. They bottled up their harder feelings and kept loving the world around them, so I did too. It worked for a long time, but then “keeping it together” collapsed and I had to find ways to reroute coping into mechanisms that worked for me to thrive in the long term.
10 years ago I touched this reality:
integration is possible
By intentionally practicing grief I built capacity and the result was integration. Until then I had only been told some version of “you can’t get over it, gotta go through it”. My question was always “to where? where do we go to when we go through it, what world is there that this loss isn't my reality?"
Now seeing clearly, I go nowhere, I experience the sensations of grief as they are, and it is there where I am free.
This can work for you because it is made by a griever for grieving. There is no right way to grieve, there is only your way. This program aligns you with your Qi flow and
your grief integration...
