#15 Chris Assaad - Understanding Grief as Praise and Gate to Receiving

Chris Assaad is a singer-songwriter and healer from Toronto, Canada.
His songs are pure alchemy that open the heart and speak to the soul, connecting us to our wholeness and joy. His music soothes and seduces, moves and inspires.

What makes Chris music unique is the transmutation of his own life experience through the expression of art. Chris has the gift of healing others through music medicine journeys by touching upon those spaces in our hearts we seldomly reach. His personal growth and healing has brought him to the medicine of various emotional rollercoasters, with grief being one of the richest experiences. Capturing his vulnerability in his musical expression is touching many humans though the sharing of a common soul journey of loss and letting go.

Chris shares the experience of losing his mother to cancer earlier this year and honours her life and her impact on others by embodying care and passion with generosity. We discuss the cultural differences of grief and loss and the space that's truly required to mourn and heal. 

In this episode, Chris shares the perspective on legacy, urgency and depth for life he has won through the passing of his mother. His ability to create space for processing his emotions through the alchemy of music has expanded his ability to show up and allowing to receive.

Chris has a monthly music meditation offering on Insight Timer which you don't want to miss! Give him a follow and make sure to join a session.
