Devotion to Death. Devotion to Dying Well.

After 6 months of the incessant deaths of loved ones in my life, and the death of my life as I knew it, I now realize that I can be, and very much am, in Love with Death. I am in Love with Death, and it’s process - when done well. When the honest questions are able to be asked. When the Truth is expressed without judgement. When the Field is held, and we are able to Rest within it. When Forgiveness reigns, Love permeates, and there is only Grace. When the final transmutation and disintegration occurs of a body, and the river of a soul returns to all of life. I wish this for all beings. The honor and dignity of a Good Death.

I recently was able to study the Death process & Craniosacral with my mentor who I’ve been closely apprenticing with, (also, for these last 6 months). This is probably the biggest gift he could teach me. How deeply profound, and simple, it is. To be in Love with Death. To Die well means to be willing to die in any moment, and thus, to allow another commitment to emerge. In the commitment to Dying well, lies the commitment to Living well, while we are still here. What has been left unsaid? Who has not been forgiven? What is there left to do, that must be done? For me now, every moment begins with the remembrance of Death. Every breath is a return to the sacred, holy, beloved Death.
