Grief Support Practice (Yoga for Cancer)
with Morven Hamilton
This is a 5-minute practice to help manage the symptoms of grief following a cancer diagnosis.
The trauma of loss can have a significant impact on our health, especially in the three months following the event.
After diagnosis, we grieve our health, our life as we knew it, our future as we imagined it, the person we used to be, among other things. We also can experience pre-emptive grief where we grieve the people we may lose in the future.
This short and easy practice is appropriate for anyone who is comfortable focusing on their breath, and can rapidly down-regulate the nervous system, broaden our field of awareness. It helps us to orientate towards pleasure and neutrality and away from overwhelming emotions.
