LUWS - LightupwithShua Podcast

Part 2 Dr. John A. King Dr. King has been where you are. At 45, a flood of traumatic memories from childhood abuse and trafficking hit him like a freight train. He lost everything—his marriage, his home, his sense of who he was. But here's what he discovered: healing isn't about going back to who you were—it's about becoming who you're meant to be. Through years of work combining neuroscience, practical tools, and honest community, he found his way forward. The Phoenix Collective isn't theory from someone who read about trauma in textbooks. It's real-world wisdom from someone who's walked this path and found a way through.  Link to his website: https://drjohnaking.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who is the founder & Owner of LightupwithShua Podcast and LUWS ACADEMY LLC ? visit: https://www.lightupacademy.org I am a student of knowledge of multiple disciplines, a mentor, and an intercultural & Interfaith practitioner, who wants to help heal and solve problems by bringing awareness for conscious living and conscious parenting to people with flexible mindset.

He is the creator of the Soul of Islam Radio Podcast, the Islamic Meditation Program and numerous other courses, retreats and programs including Awakenings Academy to help believers integrate the practical and spiritual dimensions of life with a faith-based approach designed to evolve our relationship with our Lord and Creator. ======================================================= The summary of our conversation: Gratitude and Faith: Gratitude is deeply linked to faith in Islam, where expressing gratitude to God and creation fosters a closer relationship with God and increases consciousness and awareness. Value of Time: Time is a precious and non-renewable resource, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing worship and mindfulness to find blessings (Baraka) in our time and activities. Slowing Down and Mindfulness: Rather than rushing, slowing down and being present in each activity, even mundane chores, transforms them into acts of worship and brings enjoyment and excellence. Living Purposefully: The purpose of life involves living in a way that pleases God, fulfilling one's role as a representative of God by promoting good, preventing evil, and supporting God's will in creation. Hope and Connection: Maintaining hope and faith, recognizing that all experiences serve God's purpose, and finding light and energy in the connection with God, nature, and the company of pious people bring joy and freedom to the soul. ======================================================   Who is the founder & Owner of LightupwithShua Podcast and LUWS ACADEMY LLC ? visit: https://www.luwsacademy.com/luws-podcast I am a student of knowledge of multiple disciplines, a mentor, and an intercultural & Interfaith practitioner, who wants to help heal and solve problems by bringing awareness for conscious living and conscious parenting to people with flexible mindset.

What is "Sohba"? "Sohba" is an Arabic word, which means the company that you keep. Such as your friends.  Part 3 Guest: Emil Ihsan Alexander Torabi Visit: https://www.borderpoint.com/about/ Ihsan (Emil Ihsan Alexander Torabi) is a faith-based life coach whose focus is reintroducing meditative spiritual practice to those seeking to develop a wholistic, practical and balanced approach to faith, religion and spirituality in our current modern world.

Understanding Other Beliefs: The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding other religions and historical contexts to better appreciate Islam, suggesting that a well-rounded religious education enhances one's own faith. 2. Teaching Through Companionship: The best way to teach children about Islam is through companionship and living by example, as the Prophet did with his companions, rather than through formal academic methods. 3. Parental Self-Improvement: Parents should first work on their own spiritual and personal development before trying to teach their children, emphasizing the importance of seeking truth and self-improvement. 4. God Consciousness and Awareness: True consciousness comes from being aware of and connected to God. This awareness helps in understanding the deeper aspects of existence and human emotions, beyond just chemical or material explanations. 5. Wealth and Spiritual Growth: True wealth is internal, rooted in faith (Iman) and relationships. Managing emotions like anger through spiritual practices leads to personal growth, surrendering to God's will, and using challenges as opportunities for spiritual ascent. ===================================================================== Who is the founder & Owner of LightupwithShua Podcast and LUWS ACADEMY LLC ? visit: https://www.luwsacademy.com/luws-podcast I am a student of knowledge of multiple disciplines, a mentor, and an intercultural & Interfaith practitioner, who wants to help heal and solve problems by bringing awareness for conscious living and conscious parenting to people with flexible mindset.

EP: 6 S1 - Part 2 Links to Rabbi Neal Gold Blog: https://www.atreewithroots.org/ Article on Fasting: https://tinyurl.com/4ywck8af "Fasting is about empathy. When we go a few hours without eating, we feel it. That feeling should remind us of the great numbers of people, some of them quite nearby, who know hunger (of all sorts) every day. Our discomfort, modest as it may be, is supposed to make us more compassionate, more generous, more sensitive to the needs of others. It is one thing to say it; it is quite another to feel it in our kishkas." Neal Gold teaches and writes about Jewish texts, Israel, and intersections between Jewish life and the contemporary world. Neal is adjunct faculty and a lecturer for Hebrew College's Me'ah program, courses of study that empower adults to understand Judaism on a deeper level. He is the Jewish Chaplain & Hillel Director at Babson College in Wellesley, MA, and the Past President of the Massachusetts Board of Rabbis. For a full bio: https://www.atreewithroots.org/about-me Here is what Rabbi Gold recited in this interview from Torah: Isaiah 58:3-7 "Why, when we fasted, did You not see? When we starved our bodies, did You pay no heed?"  Because on your fast day You see to your business And oppress all your laborers! Because you fast in strife and contention, And you strike with a wicked fist! Your fasting today is not such As to make your voice heard on high. Is such the fast I desire, A day for men to starve their bodies? Is it bowing the head like a bulrush And lying in sackcloth and ashes? Do you call that a fast, A day when the LORD is favorable? No, this is the fast I desire: To unlock fetters of wickedness, And untie the cords of the yoke-a To let the oppressed go free; To break off every yoke.

EP: 6 S1 - Part 1 Links to Rabbi Neal Gold Blog: https://www.atreewithroots.org/ Article on Fasting: https://tinyurl.com/4ywck8af "Fasting is about empathy. When we go a few hours without eating, we feel it. That feeling should remind us of the great numbers of people, some of them quite nearby, who know hunger (of all sorts) every day. Our discomfort, modest as it may be, is supposed to make us more compassionate, more generous, more sensitive to the needs of others. It is one thing to say it; it is quite another to feel it in our kishkas." Neal Gold teaches and writes about Jewish texts, Israel, and intersections between Jewish life and the contemporary world. Neal is adjunct faculty and a lecturer for Hebrew College's Me'ah program, courses of study that empower adults to understand Judaism on a deeper level. He is the Jewish Chaplain & Hillel Director at Babson College in Wellesley, MA, and the Past President of the Massachusetts Board of Rabbis.

Part 2 of EP: 4 - S1 Introducing Lubna Malik again this year on the topic of fasting. Lubna Malik is a beautiful soul, a teacher, an educator, a community organizer, a philanthropist, a mother, and a dependable friend. An extremely patient person who is willing to test herself by going out of her comfort zone. In her words: "Life is a journey – we enter from one door and exit via another. The way we make the trip determines our legacy. I want to share what I have learnt and what I am learning with my children. Because it is in giving that we connect with others, with the world and with Allah. It is by spending ourselves that we become rich. What would be the point of having experience, knowledge, or talent if we don't give it away? Of being blessed with prosperity if we don't share it. I feel that this has given me consistency in my belief, my work, and the way I lead my life." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who is the founder & Owner of LightupwithShua Podcast and LUWS ACADEMY LLC ? visit: lightupwithshua.com I am a student of knowledge of multiple disciplines, a mentor, and an intercultural & Interfaith practitioner, who wants to help heal and solve problems by bringing awareness for conscious living and conscious parenting to people with flexible mindset.

EP 3: S1 Sharing my childhood story about fasting and as promised that in every episode, I will share at least 3 to 5 benefits of fasting.  So, when I was a little girl, about 6 or 7 years old, I remember asking my father, why was he fasting. Now, how did I know that he was fasting? because at that age, I really didn't know the wisdom or anything about fasting.    So coming back to why did I ask this question to my father, I think Because I was hearing that my dad had to break his fast and I don't remember but I assume my mother was also fasting but I saw both of them in the kitchen preparing food.    The conversation about the time, because one breaks the fast at the sunset and so I could feel the subtle urgency of my mother to prep up the food so it was ready.    And here I was all excited as a child to eat and looking forward to delicious food that would be served shortly because I loved food, specially fruits and my mother's exquisite and tasty cooking, which I still love to this day. She is an excellent, mindful cook.    I should say a Food and kitchen scientist who knows the basics and advanced knowledge of food and nutrition. Not only that, of spices and herbs as well. So more on this later, so let me get back to fasting. By the way, the question must be popping in your head that was I fasting when I was 6 or 7? Many in the US or unaware of the Islamic fasting might not know that fasting is permitted for children after puberty.    Many do keep a fast here and there when they are little because when they see every adult fasting in the house, somehow, and I remember doing this too. So, there is alot to talk about. So let me give you some benefits as promised in my previous episodes about fasting.    What we must avoid is eating heavy meals, right? I am sure my listeners, followers of this podcast, can relate to it. You must have had heavy meals at times and then how did you feel?" Fasting also enhances how we react, think and carry out tasks. The quality of the food definitely effects us and I will say it again, processed foods and sugars.    Next time you eat rather a very heavy meal and specially if you were observing a dry fast or intermittent fasting Please think about it and pay attention and see what was your experience?    I would encourage to avoid over eating and instead keep some room. And this was also taught to us  through Prophet Muhammad , Peace be Upon him, to keep some room and to combine foods sensibly and mindfully. According to the research The common cause of all diseases is the accumulation of waste and poisonous matter in the body which results from overeating  Fasting is nature's oldest, most effective and yet least expensive method of treating disease.    And this is what I also remember from my childhood that doctors used to ask the patient first what did they had eaten whole day or what are their eating and sleeping habits. And to avoid heavy foods and not to eat too much.  The practice of fasting is one of the most ancient customs. It is followed in almost every religion. The Islamic, the Jewish, the Christian the Buddhists, the Hindus and many others have their periods of strict fasting. Let us talk about few benefits as promised and before we go.    BENEFITS: Fasting helps to detox you, your body and depending on how you are fasting, it can detox you spritually and emotionally as well.  It improves your alertness - which as a consequence brings you more mindfulness and strengthens the relationship between your mind and body. So all this talk on mind and body can be easily achieved if we can learn to fast. And that is where you will have to figure out, what kind of fasting do you want to observe? I do the Islamic fasting, which was ordained and prescribed more than 1444 years ago. It is simple for me. More on that later The best way to loose weight is to fast. Like we don't need to eat to loose weight, don't you think? It also doesn't make sense. Please do leave a comment or two on this point.  Research shows that people who practice some kind of fasting don't need to diet. Fasting is simpler and more doable. However, it depends on you. If you are not familiar with the concept of fasting and have not ever done it then find some fasting expert who knows about fasting. Because some people who in Jewish and Christian tradition, who fast know how to do it for themselves. And Muslims who do the traditional fast , it is easier for them because it has been in their culture and faith from the very beginning and it is practiced fully as it was taught more than 1400 years ago.  Fasting leads to regeneration of the blood as well as the repair and regeneration of the various tissues of the body  You can get away from the mindset that you do not need to feed the body all the time and can give a break, that is a relief, I would say. So,  instead of working on digesting the food, your system works to heal the gut wall and your digestive system gets some rest and there is less pressure on your organs, so gives the digestive system, some ME TIME! Don't we all need me time?  Okay, take a deep breath in… relax and say that I will take care of my health and I am fully responsible for my health and will learn and take matters in my hand and take food away from my hand…. What do you think?  Well, till we meet again next week. I wish you a wonderful and healthy week. Take care of your health and stay happy. Thank you and please leave a comment or a review. Visit my website and learn about my trainings, there is a Mp3 pain reliever that you can download. I am updating my free PDF that you can also download soon. I will update you about it as well.

Muslims fast for the entire month in gratitude to Allah~God for His final revelation Which is the Quran, the scripture that Muslims follow and is believed to be the last revelation. Muslims,  restrict their appetites during daylight hours, pay attention to their spirituality, work on mindfully, eating, praying, practice patience, avoid disputes and arguments, devote more time to prayers, and reciting and understanding the Quran and its message. One of the most significant objective of the fast is to realize, remember and restore the purpose of our lives that is the centrality of God or Allah in our lives. Ramadan is a period of practicing extra awareness our spirituality and discipline our ego that usually causes us trouble. And to take all this practice and training through out the year. We work with greater dedication excel in kindness, patience, and forgiveness in Ramadan and to carry it through the rest of the months.   Healthy adult Muslims fast frp, before sunrise to sunset. During this Muslims cannot drink (even water), eat, or be in any intimate situation.  Muslims maintain the standard five daily prayers and strive for additonal nightly prayers.  I hope you have enjoyed listening to all this very important, interesting and beneficial information.

I am reposting my first interview of this podcast when I started in November 2017, about five years ago with my esteemed guest Jonathan J. Perry.  Here is his website: https://www.jonathanjamesperry.com/ Traditional singer, dancer, speaker and carver, Jonathan Perry is grounded in the traditions of his ocean-going ancestors. He considers designs by examining the raw materials closely, and draws his images from the grain, hues, and patina of wood, stone and copper.  Jonathan enjoys using the materials and knowledge handed down from his ancestors to express his understanding of the natural world as well as the changes over time since Creation.  His mentors, like the late Nanepashemet (Tony Pollard) of the Wampanoag Nation, have taught him to observe and take special care when handling these materials, and breathing life into his pieces of art.  Jonathan's work embodies the refined quality of those of his ancestors, while still drawing upon his experience in a contemporary society.  His pieces reflect balance within the Natural World, incorporating stories, effigies, and symbology of Wampanoag traditions.   Jonathan is influenced by his time spent on the ocean, something very close to him, being from an island Native community. One defining moment has been when Jonathan witnessed a basking whale off the cliffs of Aquinnah, MA on his home island of Martha's Vineyard.  These whale images have since appeared in many of his pieces. Jonathan continues to use the materials and knowledge handed down from his ancestors to express his understanding of the Natural World and the change that it has experienced in the past four hundred years.  Jonathan's three dimensional artwork ranges in size from large, hand-carved dugout ocean vessels, to stone effigy pipes and high-end copper jewelry.   An articulate and thoughtful speaker, he has lectured on the topics of Eastern Woodland art and traditions for over 15 years at both regional and national venues and his performing arts career has spanned over 25 years.  These venues have included the Peabody Essex Museum, the National Museum of the American Indian, the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center, Harvard College and Brown University.   In his personal time, Jonathan enjoys spending time with his family and participating in cultural activities in the Native community.  He particularly likes to collaborate with his sister, Elizabeth James-Perry on artwork, research and exhibitions. Thank you for listening. Stay tuned for more new programs this year.

Guest: Muneeza Nasrullah Muneeza believes in a servant mentality. Find out in her own words what does she mean by it? I believe, this is a good advice for all of us.    Muneeza's Philosophy: There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional – integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. That said, in my experience as a real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs. This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients. So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Metrowest/Worcester, or Greater Boston areas, please contact me.
