What can life and death teach us? 

 

Death is part of Life. Every day on planet Earth, 150,000 people die on average. No one is here forever. Including you and me. 

  

We all know this. However, facing death can still be the most challenging process one can go through. Instead of the society's way of avoidance and resistance, we should honor this human process, which each one of us will face one day. Why? Because awareness reduces fear.  

 

Death is not the opposite of life. It is part of life.  Our modern society tends to view death and dying as something abnormal, or worse, a "failure" viewed by the mainstream medical community.  Unfortunately, this  only adds unnecessary suffering to the dying and the family. 

 

Just like other phases of our life, e.g. growing up, getting married, having kids, retirement, etc. we should prepare and honor this transition of our life as well. It is never too late to tell someone we love them, or we forgive them.  We should also love and forgive ourselves, and to let go of expectations, regrets and things that we cannot change or have control over.  Facing this life transition can bring fear and anxiety undoubtedly. Our fear is usually due to the unknown.

 

Sound meditation can be a powerful tool to help someone in this special life transition by bringing peace and harmony in their body, mind and soul.  Hearing is one of our last senses to dissolve before we leave this physical world. Therefore, sound meditation provides a calming, soothing presence for the person and the loved ones. 

 

Emily provides sound bath meditation in people's private homes for people undergoing their end-of-life transitions. Due to corporate regulations, hospitals or assisted living facilities usually do not allow such visits.
