“That which you seek is seeking you.” – RUMI ‘Come, seek, for search is the foundation of fortune. Every success depends on focusing the heart.’ – RUMI Renowned Sufi poet Rumi’s quote above tells you that there is a mystical fortune you can receive if you apply the ‘act of seeking from the heart’ in all things, even in your experience of grief. Practice the 5 Energy Secrets below to help guide you through a rare experience in healing and contact with heaven as you grieve. HEALTH & WELLNESS There are a handful of beautiful ways to bring higher vibrations and consciousness to your grieving. Seeking from the heart offers a healing balm of higher insights, given from another dimension. These mystical gifts are the reward for the effort you put into seeking, as it unfolds a cascade of hidden truths in the process. In return, the higher insights of Wayne Dyer, Rumi, and countless spiritual masters, and sacred texts across time become understood. Like all mystical truths, the real magic is in the experience. The experience happens when you are open to it. 1. SEEK TO UNDERSTAND GRIEF The power in the act of ‘seeking’ noted by Rumi, calls you to search and understand the process of grief from experts in the field. The divine universe responds to those that humbly acknowledge the power of seeking with honor and a commitment from the heart. The stages of grief taught by an expert on death and dying, Elizabeth Kubler Ross, are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The knowledge of each stage can be used as a guide to check in with yourself to see where you are in the process. It is normal to oscillate back and forth in stages until you come closer to the acceptance of your loss. Know it is ok to be sad, angry, in disbelief, and consciously allow these experiences to move through you [in balance] to help release them from the body. 81
