What if the key to deep healing lies within your nervous system?

In this transformative episode of the Spiritual Spotlight Series, Rachel Garrett sits down with Dr. Arielle Schwartz—clinical psychologist, author, and leading voice in trauma healing—to explore the sacred intersection of science, spirituality, and the vagus nerve. Dr. Schwartz shares her groundbreaking insights on complex trauma, somatic healing, and the divine intelligence of the body.

We dive into how the nervous system stores trauma, the role of vagal tone in emotional resilience, and how somatic practices like breathwork and body-based awareness can catalyze profound healing. Arielle also introduces her 6-month course with The Shift Network, designed to help you restore nervous system health and align with your spiritual path.

Whether you're a spiritual seeker, healer, or someone navigating your own trauma recovery, this conversation offers powerful tools and soulful wisdom for integrating body and spirit.
