\n

When my father went into hospice care in April 2015\u2014when it hit home that he was really going to die\u2014I panicked. Six years of witnessing his exponentially declining physical and mental health in the throes of Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/a> had not, as I\u2019d hoped, prepared me to live on this planet without him.<\/p>\n

I needed a coping strategy.<\/p>\n

My meditation practice<\/a> has never been consistent. I\u2019m married to my yoga mat, and I spend hours poring over sequences and anatomy textbooks, but the quiet practices have always felt a little elusive. I\u2019d go through phases for a week or two where I would schlep myself out of bed every morning and sit for a half hour, always feeling better afterward. But a couple of days away from the cushion would easily turn into a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

What better time than the present, I reasoned, to dive into meditation to work through my grief? I listened to enough Buddhist podcasts and read enough Facebook posts from other yoga teachers that I thought surely I could figure out how to heal myself.<\/p>\n

The phrase \u201csit with your emotions\u201d was the first to come to mind. After years of avoiding visiting my dad or thinking about him in his illness, I figured I owed it to us both to feel deeply into my grief. So at night, alone in my apartment, I began to sit and look directly into the pain. I\u2019d plop myself in front of my little altar<\/a>, light candles and incense, and gaze at a photo of my dad. Then I\u2019d close my eyes and begin digging through memories of him. The tears would flow and my throat<\/a> would burn, but I\u2019d force myself to keep sitting there, to keep inviting the feelings to come.<\/p>\n

These were not easy feelings. And before long I\u2019d end up flat on my back, completely overcome with pain, my entire body heaving with these unstoppable, primal cries. I was drowning in my grief rather than sitting with it.<\/p>\n

I was drowning in my grief rather than sitting with it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019d be stuck there for an hour or more, feeling so shell-shocked afterward that I couldn\u2019t even get up. There was some sense of relief after the purges, but mostly I felt drained and hollow. It took so much effort to peel myself off the floor that I\u2019d usually just collapse back onto the couch and turn the TV on to fill the void.<\/p>\n

Much in need of some guidance, I bought The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying<\/a><\/em>. Normally I\u2019d get a paperback to mark up, but I was so desperate to start reading that I downloaded it onto my Kindle. The meditation exercises contained within were very straightforward and should have been helpful, but the use of the word \u201cdeath\u201d on almost every page felt like a little stab wound every time I read it. I didn\u2019t want to think about death anymore than I already was. I made it about 18 percent of the way through and haven\u2019t picked it up since.<\/p>\n

It seemed like these methods were actually leading me deeper into depression, so I turned to mantra. I\u2019d learned the Mahamrityunjaya<\/a> (death-conquering) Mantra in my 300-hour teacher training, and it felt appropriate for the occasion. As I chanted, I felt like a child playing with her parents\u2019 power tools\u2014clumsy, inept, and totally unequipped to wield the power contained in the words. But at least it felt better to do<\/em> something, rather than to passively receive a beating from my wild emotions.<\/p>\n

And then, he died. And everything changed.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d expected to feel a huge relief after watching him suffer for so long. But instead, there was this ominous sense of finality. All of my yogic training on impermanence and non-attachment couldn\u2019t begin to soothe the violence of his absence.<\/p>\n

All of my yogic training on impermanence and non-attachment couldn\u2019t begin to soothe the violence of his absence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When I got back home to Los Angeles, I found myself avoiding my meditation corner. I couldn\u2019t look at the photo of my dad on the altar. Every time I thought about talking to him my throat closed up. I walled up my loss deep inside my brain and put all of my energies into teaching and practicing<\/a>. When anyone asked how I was doing or expressed condolences or even hugged me, the walls broke and I lost it. I just didn\u2019t have the faculties to deal.<\/p>\n

For several months I didn\u2019t even try to sit. And I don\u2019t remember exactly what prompted me to return. But I recall hiking one day, listening to the wind move through the trees, and thinking that there must be some larger force at work in the universe<\/a>, because I could not allow myself to believe that my dad\u2019s death was truly the end of him and our bond. I\u2019d been so saturated in my own grief<\/a> that I\u2019d forgotten the feeling of being connected to the air and the water and the pulsing heartbeats all around me.<\/p>\n

So the next time I came back to my practice, I greeted my dad, told him I missed him, and then began to send my awareness outward rather than inward. I imagined feeling held and loved\u2014not by a person\u2014but by the molecules in space around me. And it worked. I came away feeling peaceful for the first time in a long time.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d been so saturated in my own grief that I\u2019d forgotten the feeling of being connected to the air and the water and the pulsing heartbeats all around me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The next time I sat, I said hi<\/em> to my dad, and then began to think about the principles he embodied. The word \u201cservice\u201d came to mind, so I meditated on that word and its meaning. Not only did it help to alleviate the immediate sense of trauma, but it allowed me to turn my focus in a positive direction. \u201cWhat can I do to be more helpful?\u201d I asked. Inspiration came quickly.<\/p>\n

I kept repeating that strategy. I\u2019d greet my dad, think about his qualities, and then meditate on whichever one sprung into my consciousness first. One day it was kindness. Another, steadfastness. Humility. Forgiveness. And over and over again: love.<\/p>\n

Now as I sit and allow my mind to rest on love<\/a>, I can feel the love around me. It\u2019s in my snoring dogs and the magnolia tree waving from across the street. It\u2019s in the kitchen where my partner and I prepare our meals. It\u2019s in the rubber of my yoga mat and the floorboards underneath. This feeling of love in every atom gives me the reinforcement to tap into my own resources, to turn my heart outward, and share what I have to give. It\u2019s not much, but I know it\u2019s exactly what my dad would do.<\/p>\n
