Rahma with Rose

Join this conversation with Shaamiela Safodien, a psychological counselor, mindfulness teacher, and breathwork practitioner, as we learn about her unique path of spirituality and healing. From her traditional Muslim upbringing to her enlightening experiences during her Hajj pilgrimage at just 18 years old, Shaamiela's story is both captivating and inspiring.
In this heartfelt conversation, we delve into the power of connecting with nature and our own bodies for growth and healing. Shaamiela shares her insights on the cyclical nature of women, the role of breathwork in shifting our narratives, and the importance of a holistic approach to healing that incorporates both traditional talk therapy, spirituality, and embodiment.
Shaamiela reflects on her journey of understanding the power of her body and incorporating mindfulness and breathwork into her daily practice. We also touch upon the challenges faced by Muslim women in a tradition that is often interpreted in ways that make it difficult for them to express themselves. Don't miss this heartwarming and thought-provoking episode, full of valuable insights and inspiration for anyone on their own path of growth and healing.
