Sometimes, small, consistent changes bring about the biggest transformations. Here, Dr. Erum Qureshi, DNP, APRN lists three things to incorporate into our daily routines that can have the greatest impact in our lives. Oftentimes we can overlook and downplay the very things that are the most instrumental to our success in this life and the Hereafter.

Have an honest conversation with your-self:
Do I downplay the importance of Salah?
Do I set aside time to get moving?
Am I serving others regularly and in a way that is pleasing to Allah?

Are you having trouble praying five times a day? That's okay. Start out trying to make one prayer...and once you are solid in that one...add another...then another. You'll get there with the help of Allah. And the help of Allah is always near.

Allah is the Turner of Hearts. O Allah, keep our hearts steadfastly turned to You and what is pleasing to You.

From Iman Nacer Boundaoui
No frills. This is about making somatics widely affordable and accessible for Muslim women.

Somatics is about finding, and healing, the whole of you. And it all starts with a simple set of questions:
Why heal? Why put in the work? What's at stake?

Collectivity is about weaving together that healing, allowing our individual transformation to join a stronger current, and recognizing a simple set of truths- we heal faster and better, together; we were not meant to journey alone. Together, we can weave our way back to wholeness. Starting or continuing an individual healing journey is hard; we have a lot of stigma in our communities around mental health and wellness, and access to support is often cost prohibitive for our people. I went into this work because I wanted to change that-- I wanted to make healing possible, inviting, accessible and affordable for my community.

To that end, I have become a deep believer that the kind of healing work that aligns with our community requires centering the collective and cultivating inter-dependence as a strategy for transformation. The cooperative/communal model of this program intentionally accounts for that-- through the weaving together of individual healing journeys-- while the cost-sharing model makes it accessible and affordable to heal over a longer trajectory of time.

What?:
*10 group somatic trauma coaching sessions (1 session every 2 weeks) with Iman Nacer Boundaoui
*5 months in an intimate cohort of 4 women who are ready to heal
*Access to supplemental materials and group forum on Teachable
*8 cohorts: 4 beginning in September and 4 beginning in October
*Each cohort will have 4 women
*Total cost of the program $990 (payment plans available)

For those of you who missed Dr. Mazen's webinar on his new Homeopathic Psychology course, he has generously extended the 20% discount to this Friday at 11:59 PM CST...and not only is that discount good for his inaugural Level 2 course, Homeopathic Psychology, the discount is also good for his Level 1 course, Foundations of Homeopathy, mashaAllah. He decided to extend the discount to the Level 1 course as well for those who have not yet had the opportunity to take the first course but would like to enroll in this new one. While Level 1 is not a prerequisite for the Level 2 course, it is highly recommended and will provide a firm foundation on which to build your knowledge of Homeopathic Medicine, inshaAllah Ta'ala. The 20% discount code for both Homeopathic Psychology and Foundations of Homeopathy is SPECIAL20. Simply enter the code at checkout for the discount to be applied.

What is Homeopathic Psychology?
Homeopathic Psychology is a holistic approach that looks at the whole person- body, mind, emotions, and even personal history- and explores specific remedies suitable for balancing that specific personality pattern. Instead of just treating symptoms (like we basically did in the Level 1 First Aid course), homeopathic psychology aims to support the body’s natural healing by addressing the root patterns- i.e the root energetic imbalances- beneath chronic issues. These issues are often psychic in nature and related to trauma, our earliest experiences, heartbreak, and the deeper energetic rifts that fracture the integrity of our constitution. It is a deeply individualized form of healing that helps bring long-term balance and resilience to one’s being.

This unique course will draw from homeopathy and Dr. Mazen's Re-membering the Heart trauma healing approach and Islamic spirituality.

On HIKMA:

“The role of Hakim was to be a constructive cultivator of health and well-being rather than a destroyer of disease. And this is no semantic difference we are highlighting; the difference between the former and the latter is as great as the distance between the East and the West. Though much of the original orientation to this healing art has been abandoned in the modern day by positivistic scientism, materialist reductionism, and the (attempted) collapse of the Sacred, this age-old vocation continues to thrive to this day- by the grace of God.

Hikma Medicine, Islamic Healing Medicine, or Original Medicine as sometimes we like to call it, is not an “alternative” or a “complement” to something else. It is not an add-on nor a foot-note. HIKMA represents an ancient tradition, and serves as the ocean from which the eddy of scientific medicine is maintained. Here at Forward To Health, we are honored to serve not only torch-bearers of this ancient legacy but also revivers and articulators of its modern Islamic iteration in HIKMA: Holistic Islamic Knowledge of the Medical Arts…”
