“Guided Grieving Session” aims to analyze and facilitate the unique practice of ritualized and scheduled grieving. This process of grieving is organized and even pragmatic, wherein individuals set aside time to feel pain and allow space for mourning. Though most people consider grief to be something that sneaks up on us, or something we actively push aside and ignore, there is a kind of control in scheduled and durational encounters with our own grief that can be healthy and allow for growth.
The video features ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response), a relatively unexplored sensation of low-level euphoria which can be brought on by certain acoustic and visual triggers in audio and video; while the whispered, gentle audio provides an instructional guide for the audience to get into a meditative, highly emotional mindset. “Guided Grieving Session” hopes to allow viewers to experience a feeling of catharsis, by designating a period of time in which the viewers are allowed space to purge negative emotions, cry and reminisce.
