Where they use graves to cope with divorce

Local press reports that the bizarre ritual is called “graveyard meditation” which allegedly helps them cope with divorce

A group of Chinese women recently made headlines after being photographed while lying in shallow graves on the outskirts of Chongqing City. Local press reports that they were taking part in a bizarre ritual called “graveyard meditation” which allegedly helps them cope with divorce.

Graveyard meditation is the brainchild of Liu Taijie, a 30-year-old divorcee who now helps other women get over romantic breakups. After getting married at the age of 19, and having a baby at 21, Liu went through a difficult divorce in 2015, after also failing to launch her own business.
