STEPHEN CHONG: TALES FROM THE AFTERLIFE: EP. 263
STEPHEN CHONG had a profound Spiritual Awakening Experience in 2019 after he fell five metres off a ladder and fractured his neck. Stephen says, "This life experience is what I know and understand to be a ‘Pivot or Turning Point’ … where I had to choose what happens after. It was about three months into the rehabilitation when things became a little clearer." Stepen's. new book, The Afterlife; A Journey To: Now You Know What Will Happen, delves into his Near-Death Experience (NDE) talking about what Heaven was like, how he came to understand the rules of Heaven, and the incredible guides, events and scenarios which take place there. He also offers the following about "purgatory",,, "Upon death, we passage through a tunnel of light and the silver cord (which connects the eternal soul to the physical body) is severed, and unlike an NDE, we are unable to return. Entry into these ‘Mists’ or ‘Purgatory’ confirms our life’s journey through the law of ‘What you sow, so shall you reap’. It is a confrontation with the self. What you have done (or not done) and what you have ‘caused to effect’ in your fellow man. It is a ‘Life Review’ where every moment of life is flashed before you and you see what you have done to and for people. In this place, ‘The emperor wears no clothes’. Your status, position, title, etc. are null and void. It is what you have done to others that holds the key … we are all one in spirit … ‘Whatyou have done to another, you do to yourself’."

LORRE LAWS: NURSE TRAUMATIZATION SOLUTIONS: EP. 254
LORRE LAWS is an author, healer, teacher, nursing professor, and leader whose scholarship and clinical practice centers on nurse traumatization, burnout, integrative health, nurse safety and professional wellbeing. In her role as an integrative nursing professor, colleagues refer to her as a “master teacher” while students dubbed her as “humanity’s nurse”. Dr. Lorre helps nurses and health care professionals recover from trauma and burnout so they can thrive in their practices instead of just surviving them. As nurses heal together, they can require system changes as they usher in the Nursing 2.0, a new paradigm that prioritizes nurse safety and professional wellbeing. Dr. Lorre founded The Haelan Academy, a nonprofit organization where nurses across the globe can come together in a safe and nurturing virtual space to share and be supported in their healing journeys together. She is an informative and entertaining keynote speaker and retreat leader who educates and inspires. Dr. Lorre has published numerous scholarly articles and has presented her work to national and international audiences. She is currently based in southern Arizona USA where she enjoys the love of family, friends, and community. She enjoys farm-to-table cooking, hiking, weight training, yoga, and a myriad of healing arts, practices, and traditions. She is attuned to her healer’s heart and its calling to be of service to the global nursing community. She lives in alignment with her overarching mission: “It’s not necessarily how I make a difference; I just want to be certain that I do.” In this episode she discusses why nurse-specific traumatization is frequently misdiagnosed as burnout. What are nurse’s burnout symptoms really saying? How does her book “Nursing Our Healer’s Heart” offer hope, healing, and a pathway for nurse trauma and burnout recovery? IFF BOOKS Presents Nursing Our Healer's Heart A Recovery Guide for Nurse Trauma & Burnout by Lorre Laws, PhD RN Release date: January 1st 2025 Categories: Healing, Nursing (general), Work-related health CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE BOOK COVER The nursing profession is in crisis. Within a decade, the world will have just over half the number of nurses it needs. The global nursing workforce has experienced mass, complex trauma secondary to healthcare system inadequacies and a global pandemic. Traumatized and burned out nurses are leaving their roles or the profession in unprecedented numbers. Those who remain are stretched to or beyond their capacity. While system-level strategies aim to address this crisis, none of them consider nurse traumatization and its impact upon patient safety, outcomes, and quality of care. We cannot wait for health systems to prioritize nurse safety. Nurses can and must come together as a global community to heal through avoidable and unavoidable nurse-specific traumatization while partnering with healthcare leaders to usher in a new era of nursing. This book, through an actionable framework, guides nurses in healing the traumas and hardships they’ve endured as individuals and nursing communities. Grounded in the sciences of unitary caring, integrative nursing, neurophysiology, and transpersonal neurobiology, this book supports nurses in restoring their healers’ heart as they come together to address the deep trauma, burnout, attrition, and presenteeism that are central to the nursing crisis. Nurses will learn the language of their nervous system and how to navigate it as a foundational practice to support professional wellbeing. Each nurse will discover their unique innate care plan, which will guide their healing and co-healing with other nurses. By embracing the healing and practices offered in this book, nurses will learn how to support their nervous system regulation so they can thrive instead of survive in practice. Working from their healed scars instead of their open wounds, nurses can effectively lead sustainable organizational change and health care reforms that prioritize nurse safety and professional wellbeing.
