How grief actually moves through the body.
The metal element in Chinese medicine governs grief, self-worth, belonging, and letting go.
It lives in the lungs and large intestine.
When grief is unprocessed the body holds it.
Skin flares.
Sleep breaks at 2-3am.
Breath gets tight.
A low persistent heaviness.

The breath finds room.
The system settles.
Grief is not a problem to solve.
It is a process to move through.
