What if healing wasn’t something we chased, but something we remembered?
In this beautiful and deeply moving conversation with Dr. Rola Halam, we explore the ancient Sufi practice of Zikr, the remembrance of God through the chanting of the Divine’s 99 names. This sacred practice isn’t just about repetition or ritual. It’s a living, breathing pathway into the heart, a vibration that awakens every cell of the body to divine remembrance and unity.
Dr. Halam shares how each name of God carries its own resonance, mercy, power, compassion, majesty, and how chanting these names opens a portal of healing that reaches through layers of emotion, memory, and energy. In the practice of Zikr, sound becomes medicine. Tears may flow, old wounds may surface, and the heart begins to soften and expand.
This episode invites us to remember that the divine is not somewhere “out there,” but within. Through the vibration of sacred sound and the safety of shared community, we return to the truth that we have never been separate from God, only asleep to that oneness. Zikr becomes the sound of awakening, a return home to the love that has always been within us.
We Also Discuss:
● How sacred sound connects us to a higher being.
● Where true healing begins.
● The process of entering the Sufi tradition.
● How our hearts contain God (when the earth cannot).
● What’s lacking in the Western psychology model of healing trauma.
