Emotions in Motion — How to Let Grief Move Through You

Feelings are funny things. We think we experience them mostly on a mental level. Our brain makes sense of the things we feel, and we label them — as in “I feel happy” or “I feel sad, or anxious, or angry.”

But it is in our body that most of these feelings settle in the end. How do we get rid of those tight muscles caused by anger, or the weight on our shoulders where grief holds us down?

This is what we will tackle in today’s episode.

I had a chat with Paul Denniston, the founder of Grief Yoga and author of the book “Healing through Yoga: Transform Loss into Empowerment.” Paul and I met at a workshop years ago, and his teachings touched something inside of me that I really wanted to share with you all here.

Not only will we talk about how feelings we label as “negative” settle in our bodies, but we will also get a few hands-on tips on how to get things moving — releasing grief, pain, anxiety, fear, and anger that might have settled in our bodies for a long time.
