108 Ways to Heal Heartbreak

Loss of any kind can be gut-wrenching, like a deep pit in your stomach that never seems to go away. A period in your life that feels like it may never end. Heartbreak is one of those losses. And when we’re in the thick of it, we’re often left wondering how to get over heartbreak.

While the healing process from such loss may take longer than you would like, the magic lies in the mess and there is no way out but to work your way through it. Admittedly, it took some time to get past my last heartbreak, but in time, I got through it and you can trust that you will too.

As a yoga practitioner and teacher, I like to honor the power of 108, which is a sacred number in the yoga tradition. The number 108 holds much significance in yoga, Hinduism, and Buddhism. In its simplest form, it represents everything, nothing, and infinity.

108 is a sacred number used to practice Sun Salutations too! Here’s The Meaning of 108 Sun Salutations + What Practicing Them Will Teach You
