I think that's ...Thank you so much for sharing! I think that's completely personal, but I always have thoughts. If you are completely attached to your body being properly and sacredly disposed of, whatever that means to you, than anything other than that could keep your spirit here. It's why, when death comes, how the body is cared for is about the deceased, and only the deceased. The shape of the funeral is really for those left behind to grieve. <br /><br />For people who do spirit work and journeying outside of the physical world, the idea of leaving our bodies behind us is easy, and in the spirit of moving forward, it would be an easy baggage to leave behind. We are more than our bodies. That said, I still care about how mine is taken care of after I die, and I would rather not be just another body on the assembly line of death- but that's what happens when a rite of passage becomes an industry. In a few weeks I'll be sharing some of the outside-the-box ideas I've come across.<br /><br /><br />Sarah Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046940782599889692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226900626402490966.post-79410355767769858812013-02-21T06:55:34.439-08:002013-02-21T06:55:34.439-08:00Now that I've read this post I feel that I can...Now that I've read this post I feel that I can answer your last one. I would either be buried without being embalmed and let nature take its course or be cremated. I am of Scandinavian descent, so the idea of being sent out in a flaming ship to Valhalla has always been appealing as well. <br /><br />Any thoughts on how the processing of the body could affect the spirit in the afterlife?Danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018290335242505657noreply@blogger.com
