Through the lens of Ayurvedic wisdom and spiritual reflection, Sasha holds space for grief, heartbreak, and the disorienting reality of impermanence.When we lose someone, whether through death, separation, or life changing unexpectedly, it can feel physical. Like the ground has disappeared beneath us. Ayurveda teaches that grief impacts the heart, the nervous system, and our sense of safety. Rather than bypassing pain or forcing positivity, this episode invites you to sit with it.Inspired by the spiritual reflections of James van der Beek on life, death, and presence, this conversation explores:How to cope with grief and lossThe Ayurvedic understanding of impermanenceWhy emotional pain can feel physicalHolding compassionate space for yourselfGrief as fragmentation and transformationSpiritual perspectives on death and dyingIf you are navigating loss, heartbreak, or existential sadness, may this episode serve as a compassionate witness.
