Episode 39 – The Sound Of Spirit
With Dr Shireen Maluf
About this episode
In Episode 39, Dr Shireen Maluf, doctor of musicology, medicine woman, and certified business coach, discusses the connection between spirituality, career, and authentic self-expression. She shares her journey of self-alchemy, using music as a bridge between spirit and body, and how she helps empaths and high achievers create authentic connections and find peace amid chaos.
Episode Takeaways
Being an empath with a professional background in musicology gives Shireen a unique perspective of Spirituality: understanding the subtle realms through the science of music aka vibration and feeling them through the deep sensitivity of a musician.
- Spiritual Alchemy: The importance of merging spirit and physicality instead of seeing spirituality as an escape.
- Music as a Metaphor: Music serves as a powerful metaphor. Just as sound needs a “soundboard” to be heard, the spirit needs a body to be expressed.
- The Gift of Empathy: Insights into what it means to be an empath, the challenges and gifts involved, and how empaths can navigate their sensitivity to build stronger relationships.
- Inner Peace in Chaos: The mantra, “cultivating peace of heart in the heart of chaos,” highlights the importance of distinguishing internal sound (true essence) from external noise (distractions).
- Finding Your Unique Song: Each person has their own song, encouraging listeners to reconnect with their inner sound and align with their authentic selves.
