#178 How Grief Reveals Who You Really Are with Devorah Brinckerhoff

In the conscious community, we use the term shadow work a lot.

And in your process, it feels like there's a lot of shadow work embedded in there without overly focusing on shadow work.

It's kind of like this.

It's kind of like it can go anywhere.

Yeah.

Shadows could come up, but it doesn't have to stay on the shadow.

It can go anywhere.

It can encompass anything.

And that's such a beautiful, beautiful process.

So thank you so much for sharing that with us today for this conversation.

What is one small creative practice that listeners can try this week just for the purposes of...

Maybe moving through grief or moving through just a fear, like a difficult emotion that they might be dealing with.

You know, how can they use creativity to navigate through that? I guess, you know, if someone asked me that question, I would say try some ecstatic dance.

But since this is your wheelhouse, what do you think is one small creative practice listeners can try?

Well, again, I really want listeners to start trusting their own intuitive creativity.

So whatever their creative language is, follow that.

So for me, it was doodling in the margins while I'm on hold with insurance or whatever.

OK,

so it's mindless creativity.

I want I want people to access mindless.

That's joyful.

That's playful.

So is it playing with their kids Legos? Is it making coffee? Is it is it doodling in the margins like whatever that that thing is where you lose track of time? Maybe it's pickleball.

Maybe it's going for a run.

Maybe it's laying in the grass and and like closing your eyes to the sun, like whatever, whatever that it may be, it's dance.
