In this soulful episode of Sacred Harmony, we are joined by Leah Chrest—a meditation teacher and spiritual guide—who opens up about her profound journey through grief, forgiveness, and rediscovering peace. From the pain of loving an alcoholic spouse to the quiet wisdom of nature, Leah shares how surrender, sacred rhythms, and spiritual practices brought her back into alignment with herself and the divine. This episode dives into how forgiveness isn’t about excusing behavior but reclaiming your own freedom. We also explore the power of mindfulness, meditation, and nature in healing trauma and reconnecting with stillness.
About the Guest:Leah Chrest is a Christian meditation teacher, high school educator, and spiritual practitioner who helps people find inner peace through sacred stillness, forgiveness, and divine trust. Her journey from trauma and grief into spiritual awakening informs her grounded approach to living a heart-led life rooted in presence, nature, and daily practice.
Key Takeaways:
Forgiveness is not moral superiority; it’s spiritual liberation—recognizing the divinity in others, even in their harm.
Leah’s grief journey after her husband’s death revealed the healing power of hearing your pain acknowledged, even if not by the person who caused it.
Meditation, particularly heart-centered and rooted in love, transforms the nervous system and can be a daily anchor.
For those with trauma, meditation doesn’t have to start in silence—nature walks, music, and guided practices are gentle entry points.
Aligning with the sacred rhythm of life includes listening to your body, following seasonal cues, and surrendering control to the divine.
Nature acts as a spiritual tuning fork, recalibrating us to peace and presence.
True healing isn’t forced—it’s remembered through mindfulness, stillness, and grace.
