Welcome back to Grief Heals with your host, Lisa Michelle Zega. In this grounding episode, we explore the exquisite, inseparable relationship between our deepest heartbreaks and our greatest moments of delight. Diving into Kahlil Gibran’s classic work, The Prophet, we reflect on the powerful truth that sorrow carves out the very spaces within us that allow us to contain more joy.

The conversation begins with a gentle invitation to step into the rarest place we visit: the present moment. Lisa shares personal anchoring techniques to help pull us out of our busyminds. From this space of awareness, she introduces a practice inspired by a friend: learning to "sing over your life". Through apersonal chant born while climbing a Texas live oak tree, she shares how melody can help us tap into the deep energy of being connected to all things and embracing divine community.

Finally, we look at the seasonal rhythms of our emotional lives. By examining Gibran's imagery of balancing scales and hollowed wood, Lisa suggests that finding a sense of "rootedness,” much like a massive oak tree, allows us to remain steady through life's shifting emotional weather.

Join us for an episode that promises to expand your capacity to receive new joy, honor your grief, and remind you that you are held in a grand, interconnected embrace.
