Grief Relief Meditation
Duration: 5-10 minutes

1. Find Your Seat
Sit comfortably in a quiet place. Allow your spine to be tall but not stiff. Rest your hands on your thighs or in your lap. Gently close your eyes.

2. Ground Yourself
Take a deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs completely. Exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat this three times, noticing the breath as it flows in and out.

3. Tune In
Allow your breath to settle into its natural rhythm. Feel the weight of your body grounding you to the earth. Say to yourself, “I am here, I am safe.”

4. Acknowledge Your Grief
Bring to mind the grief or loss you are feeling. Acknowledge it without judgment, like a wave in the ocean. Whisper gently to yourself, “It’s okay to feel this.”

5. Release Through Breath
On your next inhale, imagine you are breathing in calm and light. As you exhale, visualize releasing any heaviness or pain. Repeat with each breath, letting the grief soften.

6. Invite Compassion
Place one hand over your heart, if it feels right. Silently say, “May I be gentle with myself. May I find moments of peace.”

7. Rest in Stillness
For a minute or two, sit with your breath. Notice any sense of lightness or space within you. If emotions arise, let them come and go like passing clouds.

8. Close Gently
When ready, bring awareness back to your surroundings. Wiggle your fingers and toes. Open your eyes. Take one more deep breath, carrying a sense of calm with you.

This meditation creates space for your feelings and fosters self-compassion. You can repeat it whenever you need to.
