The Healing Power Of Grief

When you meet someone for the first time and get to know them, you're sending them some of your energy. That energy carries information about you. Sending it to them is your way of letting them know who you are. They receive it, absorb it, and send you some of their energy as well. This back and forth continues, forming an energetic connection between the two of you. Your relationship / friendship, etc, with that person takes place within this ever moving, ever changing connection. This connection eventually becomes a part of your energy system. In other words, it eventually becomes a part of who you are – just like a gear in a transmission is a part of the transmission. This connection could teach you new ways of thinking, show you some new ways of doing things, bring you new opportunities, give you someone to open up to, and so on. The connection sends you information about how they are doing, what they think, what their moods are, and so forth. You may begin to adjust the way you look at your life, and other people's lives. The connection weaves its way into your energy system so much that you may start to feel as though that person's energy is a natural part of you. If at some point this person is no longer in your life, for any reason, they are no longer sending their energy to you through this energetic connection. You are not sending them your energy through the connection either because they are not there anymore. Your body starts to understand at a very deep level that the connection is no longer necessary. It begins to adjust to this change by releasing all the energy you absorbed from them over time. You feel the energetic pull of this release as grief. Grief is a very important healing process your body needs to go through to release old energy and resupply itself with its own new energy. Grief is your body's way of clearing itself of energy that is no longer necessary. Grief is always an uncomfortable feeling to experience, because its a process of energy that you wanted to have in your system leaving you system. The best thing you can do to minimize the time you're grieving is to let yourself feel whatever feelings are coming up. By doing this, you are letting your body do the work of clearing itself of the energy that it needs to release. This allows your body to fill the newly available energetic space with your own authentic energy. This process of restoration is the body's natural way of healing itself. When the grieving process is finished, the new authentic energy the body created for itself is now available for you to enjoy and use to form new connections with others..
