Recognizing that your body carries anniversary dates and triggers, and honoring physical sensations as important expressions of grief.
Mirabai danced her devotion; her body was inseparable from her spiritual practice. This concept acknowledges that triggering dates often live in your body before they reach your mind—tightness, heaviness, numbness, or restlessness that arrives without conscious memory. Rather than overriding these sensations, this practice invites you to listen to your body as a witness and teacher. On anniversary dates, notice what sensations arise. Move, stretch, dance, or simply sit with what your body is expressing. Your nervous system is remembering what your mind might try to rationalize away. By honoring these somatic experiences through gentle movement, breathwork, or touch, you validate grief as a full-body phenomenon and allow your physical self to complete the mourning process.
