A Meditation to Ease Grief - Abridged

This guided imagery and affirmations for anyone dealing with grief provides a powerful way of coping with loss naturally and holistically, helping to release sorrow and gently move beyond the pain of bereavement to grief recovery, in whatever way and for however long it takes each listener. Guided imagery is a mind-body technique that consists of positive words and images, set to soothing music, to achieve specific healing goals - in this case, grief recovery. Repeated listening once or twice a day for 2-3 weeks ensures maximum impact. This guided meditation helps the mind and body to relax, find comfort and release sorrow; reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness; encourage eventual acceptance of a new reality; promote skills for coping with grief and managing painful feelings; and create space for nourishing memories to provide solace, hope, energy and inspiration for the future. This Health Journeys™ meditation for grief and loss was written and narrated by guided imagery expert and psychotherapist Belleruth Naparstek, scored to the soothing music of Steven Mark Kohn, and produced by the Cleveland Orchestra's Bruce Gigax. A favorite of therapists, pastoral counselors and grief support groups, this sensitive and psychologically sophisticated guided meditation for grief combines healing imagery, powerful music and the most current understanding of the mind-body connection to support heathy coping with grief and loss.
