Everyone teaches you what to do to change your life.

I teach you what to do when life changes you: awaken into your soul-centered aliveness.

Grief takes what you lost. Then it takes who you were.

Grieving Awake is a way to consciously participate in who you become through it.

Everyone teaches you how to change your life. This book is about what to do when life changes you.

A spiritual, evidence-informed path through loss, built on a radical premise

Your body is a spiritual technology capable of awakening, and grief, like years of meditation, can give it an opening.

Awakening through grief is the process by which profound loss ruptures the identity and reality you once depended upon, revealing a deeper ground of Being and inviting you to consciously participate in who you become from there: an awakened, embodied woman fully expressing who she is and deeply inhabiting the life she is here to live.

When life shifts under your feet, the world tells you to shrink, cope, or change your life. I teach you how to wake up: to tune into your innate supersenses, the soul-centered qualities of aliveness that connect you to your intuition, guided by your Higher Self. This is where neuroscience and spirit converge.

Ten movements from grief into Soul-Centered Aliveness

Three Foundations to steady you where you stand. Then the Seven Frequencies: the path Weston taught me, one at a time, in order.

  1. The Three Foundations
  2. Foundation one

    Presence

    Stay here. Everything that follows depends on your willingness to be in the room with what is.

  3. Foundation two

    Radical Acceptance

    What happened, happened. Acceptance is the end of the fight with reality, and the beginning of choice.

  4. Foundation three

    Self-Kindness

    The way you speak to yourself in the dark decides how far you can go.

  5. The Seven Frequencies
  6. Frequency one

    Forgiveness

    Setting down what you have been carrying against yourself, against others, against life.

  7. Frequency two

    Truth

    The Truth lights you up, and Truth becomes the ground you stand on.

  8. Frequency three

    Faith

    Holding what you will to create. Faith becomes knowing.

  9. Frequency four

    Trust

    You are never not trusting. Doubt is trust placed in limitation. Trust becomes experience.

  10. Frequency five

    Surrender

    You have no idea what unlimited means. Surrender is Wisdom.

  11. Frequency six

    Live as Light

    Embodying the Truth that lights you up.

  12. Frequency seven

    Give as Light

    Giving effortlessly from your being, as the sun gives warmth because that is what it does.

The day my son’s body died, who I was died too. My choice to stay present in this complete destruction awakened me and I was led straight into the heart of my own Being and encountered something I never expected - a Force of pure Love - and I gained access the invisible realm that connected me directly into Oneness - including the energy of my son.

And in this shattering, I discovered my own Light, my natural gifts and a connection an indescribable Higher Self that I now know how to guide others into. Before he left - I was seeking something within that was calling me. I have found it. I seek no more. Our body IS a Spiritual technology, and what we seek is within us. Awakening isn’t leaving the body - it happens in the body, and you enter into a deeper relationship with Life and your own aliveness in it.

What I know for sure is this: Right now, regardless of what you’ve already survived, built, or achieved, you have only scratched the surface of your true capacity. Inside you sits a non-negotiable soul calling: a creative capacity far greater, faster, and more expansive than anything your logical mind has allowed you to imagine.

When life shifts under your feet, the world tells you to shrink, cope, or change your life. I teach you how to wake up - to tune into your innate supersenses, your soul-centered qualities of aliveness that connect you to your intuition - guided by your Higher Self. It’s not “woo” - there’s actually neuroscience behind why and how this is possible, and then Spirit meets you where the science ends at “we don’t know.”

I know that your life is a mystery to be lived not solved - and while you won’t be here forever, your soul will be. What you do here matters.

Knowing this, would there be anything more urgent, more electric, or more important than learning how to activate this technology and finally unleashing the full depth of who you came here to be?

    Sonoma J. - Reader

  • "What an eye opener and confirmation of my own experiences. I’m grateful for them. I see so much beauty and love in the world and it seems it’s because I was cracked open, too. Grief helped me awaken, to see things new. To really see ME! I’ve been sharing this beautiful book of Joya’s and Weston’s wisdom with everyone I can think of because we ALLL have grieved something and may still be if we haven’t allowed ourselves to do just that. My heart is full and over flowing and I’m only a quarter of the way through. Now knowing that grieving has been my tool all along, I am no longer sad about any of it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
