In this episode of Becoming Divine, we are talking to Barron Steffen, author of The Final Gift of the Beloved: Her Disappearance - 13 Days. When dealing with the loss of someone you love, how do you deal with the abyss of grief, and focus on love and gratitude? We discuss the benefits of leaning on a dedicated spiritual practice, how grief proves our loved ones are never gone from us, and becoming your own guru.
When Barron Steffen receives the devastating phone call announcing his wife, renowned thought leader Dr. Seana Lowe Steffen, has died in an automobile accident, his world is turned upside down. A deeply spiritual person, Barron decides to follow the mostly Hindu tradition where a person is mourned for thirteen days after their death. On the thirteenth day, a ceremony and celebration of life is performed to honor and invoke blessings for final release from anything that may be holding that person to this physical world. During the thirteen day journey, Barron draws on nearly forty years of study and training with gurus and meditation teachers to discover ecstatic love, save fractured relationships, and glimpse a greater arc and purpose for being alive. He discovers the most strange and wonderful thing—that hidden within the death of a loved one may also be her final gift to us. A love story disguised as a tragedy, Barron weaves extraordinarily poignant and powerful experiences with honesty and revelations that will change lives. Along with intense pain and emotion, there is also great beauty and transcendent insight, for nothing is as it appears. The Final Gift of the Beloved is the story of one man's sudden, astonishing brush with devastation and the Divine under the most heartbreaking of circumstances. https://www.barronsteffen.com/ https://www.theyogaofmindset.com/ http://restorative-leadership.com/
