Episode 642 Love, Trauma & Returning to Yourself with Salima Adelstein

In Episode 642, I sit down with Salima Adelstein, the only female Shadhili Sufi guide in the United States, whose life’s work is helping people heal wounded hearts, dissolve inner barriers, and reconnect with the Divine through unconditional love.
Raised in a tight‑knit Jewish immigrant family, Salima’s journey took her from special education, hospice work, and alternative healing to a profound spiritual awakening in Jerusalem — where a Sufi master recognized her gifts, gave her the name Salima (“one who carries the peace of God”), and set her on a path of teaching, healing, and guiding others.
We explore:
· How trauma becomes part of your purpose
· Why resentment lives in the body — and how to release it
· What spiritual healing looks like in everyday life
· How to reconnect with God after feeling abandoned
· Why love is the doorway back to yourself
· The Sufi understanding of the heart, veils, and inner wisdom
· How to find peace that doesn’t disappear when life gets hard
· The power of unconditional love vs. conditional family love
Salima also shares the remarkable story of discovering her healing abilities while working with dying children, her father’s miraculous survival, and the moment her entire understanding of God, love, and purpose shifted forever.
If you’re navigating resentment, trauma, spiritual disconnection, or the longing to feel whole again, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
