I wish we could all encircle you and collectively cosmically pull the body pain out. For now, I’m energetically using my Mal clown powers, less pain for Sebene. And for the ongoing inner and outer adventures with loss and grief and mourning- I’m so grateful for the space and wisdom you continuously offer. It truly does help and allows the light in. Love to you. And dog biscuits. ✨❤️🐾✨
I agree: A collective encirclement (encircling?) of you , dear Sebene. I will add to Mal’s energy: “less pain for Sebene.” Let’s all of us do it—everyone who reads this: “Less pain for Sebene.” ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dear Sebene, I am so grateful for your teachings. These words on grief and mourning resonate with me deeply as I process post-diagnosis grief over the loss of a life I did not live. You remind me to mourn and to honour the feelings while bringing awareness to them.
So, so sorry that you were deprived of the healing power of your tears as a child. As I understand it, tears are the body's attempt to self-regulate and release imbalance. That's why it feels so good to "have a good cry." Tears are blessings, and I wish more for you!!!!! Thank you for all you share, and for the holiness you bring to it all.
I woke up in the dark, some pain, and some hopelessness today. My thoughts were so fractured about it all that I decided to sit with coffee and lose myself in my phone. Thank goodness this is the first thing I saw. These words enveloped me and put some ground under me. I felt a part of humanity again, not so alone, and found a small path- of acceptance of what is (pain) and reminder to walk the path with community (even if online and in books) through the days. I’m reminded to accept and slow down. Thank you for this newsletter
So grateful for this post. An elder, I had a fall this spring, needed surgery and am still in the recuperation process. No complaints, I'm progressing well. I was in fairly good shape beforehand, but the experience has forced me to deal with some realities of this time in my life. Your post touched on some of them. I plan on using your prompts for a writing session. So grateful for your sharing. Wishing you balance and healing.
Dear Sweet Sebene, through all of your trials with illness--and life--you remain such a tremendous inspiration to me. It's now been 15 months since my wife, Lori, died of cancer. Grief goes on and mourning allows me to be with it and continually unravel all the feelings that come up for me. My heart is with you all the time. Love you, Bob
Sebene, I have come to this entry a few weeks later, on the day of this Fall eclipse in Pisces, and it is right on time as I grapple deeply with how I act out grief I won’t let myself feel. Just as with grief and mourning, thank you for distinguishing suffering from pain. I’ve needed the words outside of me to help, comfort and guide me, and yours have. Asé.
Thank you for touching on this subject. In times of grief I used to listen to you reading from your book in I think it was called Teacher Talk on the 10 percent happier app before the break up. Is there a way to get access to that again? It always brought me peace even when it hurt. All the best wishes.
Hi Stefanie. I’m not connected to the app any longer so not sure about their content structure. But I hope to write and share more about grief as it looks like we will be needing a lot of help out in these streets lol. .. Much love to you. 💜
Deep gratitude for you and for your generous work. Recent practice is revealing to me my own capacities. Your invitations here illuminated a connection between a present challenge and a long ago loss I have a tight grip on. I can make space for this now.

Sebene you are amazing. I so appreciate you and your wisdom. Love you!
Thank you for these kind words Meg. 🥰🫶🏾🌈
Sebene, your email on loss and grief has stayed with me and I have one other comment:
I heard someone I listen to say “Do not hold back those tears. They are holy”.
This is the truth and it is so important for us who fight to hold back the tears to hear.
We are fighting our authenticity. That came to me and I had to share it with you.
Honor your tears. Bless you. ❤️
YAAAS!! 🙏🏾
