Have you found yourself getting a little nostalgic in this pandemic time? Have you wanted to cling to old family traditions and gone back to old videos and photos? This is normal and healthy at a time like this and it’s an important part of finding our way through the chaos.
That’s why this week we speak about the second part of the spiritual practice of Lament: remembering, or conscious recollecting. Learn how being more deliberate and mindful in using your memories can help you to navigate times of pain, struggle, and chaos.

Nostalgia and lamenting, two spiritual practices that I find essential. They’re about remembering and sometimes grieving. Important parts of our journey that are often given negative press. Thank you for this John ???? ????
You’re so right. They are absolutely essential. And yet both are too often viewed with suspicion or negativity. I’m so glad you resonated with this post.????
This is a really helpful series for me just now, John. Thanks so much for today’s video which has reminded me of the importance of previous trials and how I coped. Jo
Thanks Jo. It’s good to hear that you’re finding this helpful. And I’m really glad that today’s video was a meaningful reminder for you.
