Grief was a great teacher this past week in my practice—reminding us to slow down and offer ourselves our own medicine. You may be wondering, What is my medicine?

Your medicine is your love and attention—it is your care.

A guide for Honoring Collective Grief

“Like heals like.” This saying, shared by many Indigenous communities, reminds us that healing begins where we are—where we are rooted. Just as the earth nourishes the seed in the dark, so does our body hold the potential for growth in times of stillness. To care for the body is to honor it in all its forms, especially in moments of grief. Allow yourself to be with your body this season—slow down, feel the weight of your emotions, and trust that your body is tending to the deep work even if it doesn’t feel visible. Movement, breath, and rest are all part of the sacred rhythm.
