Lie down and play dead! It's a thing...
Lie on the ground. Breathe in and out. Feel your body supported by the floor, by the earth. Breathe again.
“The intention with corpse pose yoga is more about just connecting people with their own experiences of grief and also layering in this nature aspect,” Wiley says. “Ultimately, I would love to be able to use this as a way to connect with people and really ease into the conversation of grief and death and mortality — life and death are both part of nature.”
The goal is to connect people to their hearts and minds through their bodies. For example, Wiley notes, grief can make parts of the body such as the chest and shoulders heavy, which people may not realize until they're given the space to feel that. “This is not me telling anybody else how to feel,” Wiley says. “It’s just holding space for people to come into that connection. Part of why the corpse pose is so important in the yoga practice is because it's this opportunity to regularly confront and accept the idea of mortality.”Catie Cheshire
So it is with death doulas and their clients, Wiley says. Just as birth doulas help with the birthing process, death doulas guide people through the experience of death, whether their own or that of someone close to them. Death doulas predate modern medical practices such as hospice and palliative care, and now work in tandem with them to help those looking for support during the death journey.
