Description
Beautifully written and wise, Martín Prechtel offers precious and life-sustaining stories to help us navigate our losses. In this book, he explores the relationship between grief and praise, revealing how our inability to grieve properly for the dead is linked to our inability to give praise for living. Prechtel explains that unexpressed grief is a major issue in modern society, contributing to social, cultural, and individual maladies. He shows how this collective energy can manifest as disease, behavioral issues, and depression, and how it can be liberated to heal from trauma and suffering. By examining the connection between grief and praise, Prechtel offers hope, solace, and courage for living through our losses. His insights are rooted in the Tzutujil Maya shamanic tradition, providing a unique perspective on this essential topic.
