Overcoming Survivors Guilt and Learning to Love Life - Tendrils of Grief

susan welcomes ria ray, who is an artist, a creator, and a spiritual teacher. her life took a defining turn when she was in her late twenties and a horrible accident took the life of her immediate family. her need to make sense of this tragedy propelled her to look within and try to make sense of the world and understand the meaning of life. walking through her grief, she found a determination to embrace life and love, which at the time seemed rather irrational.

ria is fully committed to continuing to push her own boundaries, past her internal limits, so she can feel and experience more of herself. her drive strengthens her ability to serve the consciousness of humanity in the most expansive way possible and it is contagious to be uplifted by this energy.  from workshops where she guides people to learn to be fearless and embrace uncertainty, she moves people to own the beacon that shines within, to bypass the judgment and pain on their road to discovery.

I lost everything in one day - Den Meditation podcast

we are very excited to welcome our dear friend, ria ray to this week’s episode of DENtalks Podcast! ria ray is an artist, spiritual healer, and clairvoyant. she discovered her gift after a tragic accident took her family in 1997 and she was forced to look within to find healing and greater purpose in her life. we talk about the first time she discovered her abilities when she inhabited the body of another person and took on all their insecurity and doubt, how that transfer of energy and empathy happens and who is more open and susceptible to it. since ria believes we all have the ability to heal should we choose to cultivate it, we’ll also talk about how to work on your own self love and healing, what you should look for in a potential spiritual teacher and how they might not be who you expect, as well as following your destiny should you feel called to heal others. this episode will provide a lot of insight on how to recover and even thrive after experiencing tragedy in your life. ria will then lead us into a breath meditation at the end of the episode to help shift your energy to become more present and let go of whatever isn’t serving you.
