5. Spiritual Vitality in the Context of Grief, Trauma and
  Loss (Today)
Grief
            Nothing is ever lost
Trauma
            Things change form
Loss
            Death is temporary
Death is
permanent
Physical and Spiritual are different realms

Often Conflated – in fact: Distinct
and Connected (i.e., like left arm and right arm)

"As above, so below."
Life Cycle: What is Death?
•   What is Birth?
•   Grief = Memory = Attachment
•   Transition with or without pain
•   Fear = Lack of preparation
•   Life = Preparation for death

                                "I am not afraid of death because I don't cling to life."
                                -- Unknown monk
What is Spiritual Vitality & Why Is It Essential?
 • No Qi (Energy, Spirit, Vitality), No Life

 • Energy animates all physical life

 • Learning spiritual truths brings insight into
   connection between physical and spiritual

 • Value something – protect and safeguard it &
   give it what it needs to flourish
Spiritual Vitality Means
• Gratitude for loss

• Presence

• Self-Love (Knowing love is the soul)

• Aligned with growth, evolution, life's journey

• Creativity / Art – life cycle of the spirit, individual expression

• Knowing pain is your attachment to the moment or your mind traveling outside of the moment

• Not focusing on pain – focusing on God / Allah / Great Spirit / Goddess / The Universe / Brahman

• Knowing bliss / peace is always accessible and that we block it with expectations
Holistic Protection
• Safeguarding the soul

• Protecting yourself from yourself

• Life saving techniques: Practices that
  promote spiritual vitality
