Healing from Miscarriage

Hi there, it's Rosie here. Welcome to this meditation for healing from a miscarriage. I wanna start off by letting you know that if at any point you need to take a break, please do so. Miscarriage can be a deeply isolating experience, often shrouded by silence and societal taboos. It doesn't matter where you are on your path. Grief is grief. It can be extremely difficult to cope on your own, or even when you have people in your life that don't know how to support you at this challenging moment. This could be because they don't understand or because they feel worried about unintentionally making things harder for you. Whatever the case may be, know that you're not alone in your grief. In our practice today, our intention is to be gentle. It was difficult for me during the time when I miscarried to give myself some tender care. I was very hard on myself. This practice was helpful because it allowed me to let whatever I was feeling be present. Additionally, it's important that you give yourself as much time as you need to move forward. But for now, let's take a moment. Whether you're seated on a chair, on the floor, or anywhere you feel comfortable, allow yourself to settle into your body and give your mind permission to settle. Start with your eyes open and a soft gaze, feeling the space around you, whether it's the room you're in, or the environment, wherever you find yourself right now. When you're ready, let's take a few deep breaths together. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing any tension or distractions, gently bringing your attention to your breath. Just taking a moment to become aware of your environment, noticing what is present. As you continue to breathe deeply, allowing yourself to acknowledge any feelings of sadness, grief, or loss that may be present, honoring your emotions without judgment or expectation. Noticing a sense of stillness or restlessness, a sense of heaviness or lightness without judgment, just noticing. Begin to imagine what it feels like to be surrounded by a warm, comforting light, offering you support during your journey. Allow this light to penetrate any areas of discomfort, bringing a sense of ease. Take this moment, and give yourself permission to feel whatever comes up for you, whether it's tears, anger, or numbness. Now, very gently, without holding onto any feeling, begin to shift your focus to self-compassion and self-care. Begin to offer yourself the same kindness and understanding that you would give to a dear friend going through a difficult time. Allowing the mind to settle onto that feeling. Shoulders relaxing, noticing your breath. Staying with the breath, noticing when you get distracted, and just gently bringing your attention back to the breath. Very gently shift your attention back to your body and back to your breath. Remember to give yourself acknowledgment for showing up and for honoring your emotions in this...
