Fantastic meditation for many circumstances of grief - not only the death or loss of someone we love but the loss of parts of ourselves, our identities.
Thank you roshi and everybody who helped to share this video. I have lost both my parents this summer and I've been stuck with grief and guilt. You did help me release at least a part of the pain. I will listen to it agan and try to build up in my practice. Thank you again
Sorry for your loss, both parents...must be very painful - I heard the analogy of a veld where there was a fire in a section, it is now like a pit of hard earth, with sandy areas, barren looking - and how loss is like that, the veld around that now sandy area will grow and evolve, some seeds may rest in that space as well eventually... I appreciated this analogy
I miss my mother terribly! It's been three years but I just can't get over what happened and still find it difficult to forgive myself. I was crying from the first minute of this meditation. But I said thank you to my mother at the end of it.. I asked her earlier today for help becuase i just couldn't cope anymore.. Thank you for putting effort into making this video.
Thank you so much for this, so many grief meditations tell us we are in a serene place and things that are simply not true, this really spoke to the truth and helped me simply be.
Ads are a great distraction, too many and in the wrong places. But the reference to the podcast is a great help and I look forward to listening to it. Thank you.

Thank you. so helpful in dealing with my grief that comes and goes so quickly, just as the the sun that comes and goes on a cloudy day.

Thank you for this. Allowed me to sit in my grief and sorrow and let out emotion and just beautiful
Joan Halifax, you are amongst my favourite American Buddhist teachers. Thank you for being a stellar human being.
Recently, went through a loss, it is like a right of passage but nothing prepares you for it...thank you for these helpful tools
I agree
@@deerheart87 thanks
😳 may I accept my sadness and the fact that On Being feels that ads are appropriate during a meditative practice

Good meditation until about 2 minutes before the end when an advertisement interrupted :(
worst possible placement of an ad interruption yet!
This may have been great but the background "clanging and chatter" was so distracting I couldn't complete this experience.
I keep hearing people in background
Shame that someone keeps coughing in the background! Doesn’t help with focus.
Thank you
