Join us for week 7, during which you're invited to practice mindful journaling about grief. This week, you'll need a couple of supplies - paper and pen. For others, you may want to use your computer or notes app, and for some, maybe you'll start to silently answer these prompts before writing them down. Whichever you choose, stay mindful and curious while keeping judgment at bay.

You're invited to sit with the ever-changing tides of our emotions and learn that each one we experience will ebb and flow; they are impermanent, as is our grief. Find a comfortable, safe and allow yourself to be mindful and present to yourself.

Welcome back to Mindful Mondays. In week 10, we learn to allow gratitude to sit alongside our sorrow. Often, we allow grief and love to co-exist, and we can do the same with gratitude. It's about finding the small moments we can turn to and say "thank you."

This week's Mindful Monday invites you to sit and learn how to use mindfulness to strengthen our resilience towards grief. Being resilient doesn't mean getting over grief; it's what allows us to sit with our grief and to endure it, while staying connected to ourselves and our loved ones.

For this week in Mindful Mondays we walk you through a guided practice to help induce rest. Sleep slips away from our grasp during grief. Sometimes, when practicing a body scan, we find ourselves slipping off into rest and relaxation, which helps us to fall asleep. Remember, the goal is to rest, not to sleep. Find a comfy position and bring your favorite pillow and blanket.

For week 20, we explore mindfulness and acceptance. Acceptance in this context means learning to be with and sit with the reality of emotions. To accept what arises. Although this may sound out of reach, with practice, we can build a tolerance to help us bear witness to our own emotions more fully.
