Where Grief Lives in Your Body and How to Release It
Grief holds more wisdom than we've been taught to believe. Nibodhi shares how Ayurveda and Vedic psychology helped him face grief instead of running from it, using breath, somatic awareness, and ancestral healing to move from emotional numbness into compassion and clarity.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How samskaras store grief in the body
- Why breath anchors you through deep pain
- How ancestral grief shows up in your body
- Ways to practice somatic grief integration
- Why grief is love seeking a new form
