About this episode

Salima Adelstein discusses the core principles of Sufism and the journey towards inner peace through ego annihilation and heart-centered practices.

The 5 C's: https://instituteofspiritualhealing.com/5c/ Sufism Foundations Course: https://instituteofspiritualhealing.com/foundations-sh/ Salima Adelstein is a Sufi spiritual guide and emotional healer with 35 years of experience accessing the deeper layers of the heart. After 25 years on a different spiritual path that included meditation and time in India, an unexpected encounter with a Sufi master in New Mexico shifted everything for her. In this conversation she walks us through the core of Sufism: the heart-mind connection, the three inner voices (the ego/nafs, the negative outside voice, and the voice of the divine), the practice of remembrance (dhikr), forgiveness and mercy, ego annihilation, and surrender. We talk about how Sufism strips away the hidden "pictures in the heart" we carry from childhood and ancestry, why peace has to start in your own heart before it can radiate outward, and what a daily practice actually looks like. A grounded conversation for anyone curious about how a heart-centered tradition meets ordinary life. 0:00 Intro 0:41 Introduction to Sufism and Salima's Journey 8:12 The Heart-Mind Connection in Sufism 13:43 Navigating Inner Voices and…
