Grief Isn't Linear: Emotional Healing and the Quiet Work of Sitting With Loss, with Niki J. Borger

Beschreibung

We're taught grief moves in tidy stages and ends on schedule. This conversation gently disagrees. Author Niki J. Borger joins Nazish to share what grief really feels like in the body, and why relief, identity shifts, and waves that arrive from nowhere all belong. If you're carrying a loss, fresh or old, you'll find a kinder way to sit with it, a simple breath practice to calm your nervous system, and the reassurance that you don't have to finish grieving to begin feeling whole. About the Guest: Niki J. Borger is an author and storyteller who moved to the United States in 2018. Over seven and a half years she lost her mother, stepfather, father, and all her grandparents, walking beside three of them through their final years. Her book In Between offers comfort to others moving through grief. Key Takeaways: * Grief isn't only sadness or a straight line. Relief, identity shifts, and unexpected emotions all belong, and none of them mean you're doing it wrong. * A breath you can use tonight: inhale for a count of three, exhale for six, then breathe gently into the heaviness in your chest. * When a wave hits, name it out loud. Saying "this is what's happening for me" makes it real so it can move through you. * Stabilize the basics first, and treat yourself with the gentleness you'd give a six-year-old. * Grief is proof of love. The ache honors how deeply someone mattered. * To support someone grieving, hold steady space. You don't have to fix it.

Divine Guidance for Inner Peace and Better Health with Shawngela Pierce

We live in a world that asks us to think, strive, perform, and prove, and then quietly wonders why we cannot feel ourselves anymore. On Inner Peace, Better Health, Archita welcomes Shawngela Pierce, spiritual healer, podcaster, author, and founder of Seek Within You based in Sedona, Arizona, for a grounded and refreshingly accessible conversation about divine guidance, inner stillness, and the wisdom that has been with us the whole time. Shawngela shares the moment in her fourth year of naturopathic medical school when she chose to walk away from the path she had built and follow her inner knowing instead, the misconception most people carry about what divine guidance actually is, why the divine first speaks to us externally before it ever speaks within, and the practice of stepping out of the noise and into nature so we can finally hear what has been waiting to be heard. If you have been feeling spiritually exhausted or quietly directionless, this episode is permission to slow down. ABOUT THE GUEST: Shawngela Pierce is a spiritual healer, podcaster, author, and the founder of Seek Within You, based in Sedona, Arizona. She holds a degree in Biology from Purdue University and began her career as a forensic scientist in Ohio before pursuing a degree in Naturopathic Medicine at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences. After a personal awakening during her fourth year of medical school, she stepped away from the conventional path to follow her inner guidance, eventually founding Seek Within You where she now offers spiritual retreats in Sedona, the Grand Canyon, and Mount Shasta, mentoring, workshops, and her signature Spiritual Power Program. With over thirteen years of yoga, meditation, and qigong practice, she works intimately with her spiritual guides, whom she affectionately calls IAM. Shawngela is the author of Healing and the Law of Attraction and Awakening to the Healing Powers Within, and she hosts the podcast Embrace Your Spiritual Power with IAM. KEY TAKEAWAYS: * Divine guidance is intentionally broad. It can mean God, spirit, angels, nature, or source. The word divine allows everyone to meet it through whatever resonates with them. * The divine is always communicating, but in the beginning it almost always speaks externally, through signs, synchronicities, or moments in nature, because our minds are too crowded for internal communication yet. * Communication with the divine is co-creative. If you tell yourself "I can't hear my guidance," you are actively creating the very experience you do not want. Open the story before you expect the answer. * The disconnection most people feel as anxiety or directionlessness is often a disconnection from spirit, from the innate wisdom inside us that society has trained us to ignore. * Step out of your environment regularly. A weekend in a cabin, a quiet evening with the TV off, a tree to sit beneath. Stillness is where the divine finds room to speak. * Tell a believable but uplifting story. Each day choose: I am learning to hear divine guidance. Today, in a way I will understand, the divine will communicate. The story you tell becomes the channel. * Reconnecting with nature is one of the most powerful spiritual practices available right now. The Buddha did not find enlightenment in a city. He found it under a tree.
