Japanese
funerals and beliefs
I
have been researching shukatsu which is
a practice that has been on the rise in
Japan since about 2009. This
practice involves the person planning out
their end of life and funeral service prior
to illness. The increase in
shukatsu practices is a result of increasing
aging population, families moving further
away and a shift in mindset that life is
a circle, there is no ending, just transformation. read

Practicing
Deathcare Together |
There
was a phone call ~ Children and Death |
The
Dark Sky Swaddles Its Secrets |
|
On
a winter's day in January, nine souls from
our community deathcare group gathered in
one of our serene rural homes to rehearse
what was once an intuitive, communal act-caring
for our dead.
This
magical home funeral session was a space
for hands-on practice, a way to deepen our
comfort with deathcare, and strengthen our
ability to support one another when the
time comes. (read

I
loved my grandmother very much. My
whole life, for some reason, I would always
say she was like my mom to me. I
spent every weekend with her at her house....
is how I remember my time with her. It
was like an escape from my home to be with
her.
One
day when I was maybe when I was 11 or 12,
I was at her house for a sleepover and she
drew the bath water for me. I remember
her coughing a lot.

We
are moving towards our annual blessed darkness,
the Winter Solstice. This is the time
of year to take advantage of sheer and complete
darkness as a healing element. Black
is the most restorative hue for the retina.
If
you were to lie down in a darkened room
in Shavasana (Corpse Pose), with cupped
hands over your eyes, to dispel any light
entering, the sustained pose would gift
your eyes the inner re-set instructions
to re-vision your world again...(read

A
Family Undertaking ~
Such a Beautiful Film,
A Student's Perspective
The
beauty of the relationships of the journeyers,
families and companions really shone through.
The love and connection to the process
really allows people to have a sense of
agency during this phase of life transition.

Three Possible Elements of
Our Being in Deathing
When
I was in my early twenties, I visted Elizabeth
Kubler-Ross's centre in California, Shanti
Nilaya (meaning 'home of peace'), to talk
to them about an idea I had: although,
looking back, I can't recall how this
idea originated. The Shanti Nilaya folks
had no response ~ I guess the idea was
too weird, BUT................

On
Disorganized and Delayed Grief
The impact of my father's death on me
is that I had not really felt grief...as
I completely accept his decline, frailing
~if this is a word~ and death....
I can count on one hand the times he said
something positive or acknowledged anything
"good" that I had done during
my childhood till adult and into my late
50's.
