As part of my training, we began with the study of herbal energetics. Having this as a foundation was transformative…it opened the door to understanding not just how herbs affect the body, but how they touch the different systems and subtle patterns within. For me, living with CPTSD shaped by childhood trauma, connection to my own body has never come easily. Yet through this practice: exploring how herbal allies met me, shifted me, soothed me…I found not only a way to embody this knowledge, but to embody myself, perhaps for the very first time. Herbal energetics became a practice of integration and reconnection, a gentle map for self-exploration and remembering.
Death Meditations are not casual or comfortable…they ask you to sit beside what many of us spend our entire life avoiding. But I share it with tenderness, not to frighten, but to prepare. This is a practice I return to often, not out of morbidity, but to live more meaningfully. Death meditations are not for those seeking easy answers.
They are for the brave-hearted, the curious, the grieving, and the liminal wanderers.
