Sacred Sounds Of The Medicine Woman: The Power Of Sound Healing With Leonor Murciano-Luna

The power of sound has been woven into the fabric of human cultures for entertainment, healing, and transformation. The invisible symphony of sound weaves its magic within. The sacred sounds hold the key to unlocking deep states of consciousness and facilitating healing.

In this episode, Leonor Murciano Luna, the Author of Birth of the Conscious Feminine: A New Era of Feminine Sovereignty, brings us the power of the sacred sounds of the medicine woman. Frequencies, like whispered spells, coax your brainwaves into a harmonious ballet, where focus pirouettes, mood waltzes, and pain tiptoes away on silent feet. She explains that you don’t always need a drum to let the divine flow within you, but humming can also be your tool to bring the primordial essence into your heart. In this episode, Leonor will also play medicine songs, so tune up the volume, feel the sounds, and tune down the pain in this healing episode.

Sacred Sounds Of The Medicine Woman: The Power Of Sound Healing With Leonor Murciano Luna

Amany Shalaby and I are on this episode. We’re co-teaching The Ocean of Sound and we have a beautiful guest with us, Leonor Murciano-Luna. We’re very excited for this interview. Amany, can you tell us why you’re the one that said let’s interview Leonor? What inspired you to have her on?

Welcome, readers and Noura. I call you by the spiritual name. I know you. We met at South Florida Sufi School. We knew each other from before but this time, Noura was performing her sound healing. It moved everyone there in a beautiful deep way. I am teaching The Ocean of Sound so it inspired me to look at the vowels because, for me, some of the sounds that she used were related to the vowels in Arabic and every language.

I was looking at their name in Arabic and what they meant. I found that what she said is almost in harmony with that. It was an amazing discovery. I wanted to get to know more about Noura’s work and share also our reflections on it together. I want to start by welcoming Noura. Thank you for coming. I want to also ask you, what ignited your interest in sound, its effect, and healing?

Thank you for inviting me, first of all. I’m very honored. Since I was very very young, I have loved sound. As a child, I used to play various instruments. I was thrown into the musical world and learned music, theory, piano, singing, and guitar. When I hit fifteen, there was a lot going on and my life changed dramatically. When I was that young, that was my whole world and I loved it. I then left it behind. I dove into psychology. I was always about learning healing through different ways like psychological and emotional. I went into more the physical and where all of these things meet.

Many years ago, it started coming back around. I always have the drum and piano. They were there in the background. I know both of you know but for your readers, my work in the last many years as a healer has been working with women, healing, and all these levels that I mentioned but through the connection with our essence and soul, through the spiritual connection where we are disconnected and helping to support women health, fertility, and different aspects of feeling good on all levels.

I realized that as I was working and doing the energy healing, spiritual healing, and acupuncture, all of the sound was starting to come through. I was paying attention and listening. I started to use sound and work with sounds and toning. I started to do more drumming. I came across the book many years ago, When the Drummers Were Women by Layne Redmond, which talks about in history how the drum and the sound of the drum are connected to the womb, the essence of creation, the great mother how its portal, and how it’s been used thousands of years.

It was used in all of these mythologies, Greek mythology, and Egyptians. You see women holding the drum. That one thing led to the other. It became a big part of my healing practice to work with the drum, sound, and help and support women to bring through their voices. For women, that’s been part of the collective healing that we all need because our voice on many levels has been shut down for thousands of years. I started to use this in practice first with myself because I’ve always loved singing. I had visions that I was going to be a singer when I grew up when I was little.

In the last many years, the music came back but in a different way, not in a performative way, which is how most of us who learn piano and all of these musical things are exposed to it. It’s more in a way that everybody can sing. The birds are singing every day. It’s not about this competition. It’s about an expression and opening that up. The vowels, energy systems, chakras, wombs, and all of that, there’s this correlation, which is very exciting. You brought it into your system with the Arabic letters, which I’m like, “I want to know more about that.” I feel that’s part of my work. It’s integrating all of these different systems that bring healing, growth, and evolution of our being so that we can live more in union with our divine self in this physical body.

One of the things that I love that you’re saying is you have this childhood that was all about music and then you thought you were going to be a singer. You aspire to be a singer. You put that on hold and went this another direction. You’ve been doing for a long time working with the feminine, fertility, and healing for women. Now, they’ve come together. That is washing me on nothing in your life is wasted. Everything comes back together to serve and equip you. Also, serve the purpose you’re here to serve. That’s beautiful.

I couldn’t have foreseen that. That blows my mind, too. In the last many years, my passion has been to help women, not just to help support healing but also to teach how to use all these tools, which I call the Feminine Healing Arts. They were used back when. In a way, it’s in our DNA because our ancient mothers and mother line used to use this for healing, the drum, circles, and organic sounding. All of us here like to understand. We have this beautifully developed intellect that we can bring but at the end of the day, the healing comes from diving deep and letting go of what we know or what we think we know is not prescriptive. It’s this organic sounding, being, and expressing that essence, our light and truth. I love teaching that.

That’s beautiful because the drum is essential. You made me realize that in every culture in history, it’s the first instrument. People started to express themselves intuitively, whether they were happy, sad, or knocked. They started to invent the drum as the first instrument. Do you mainly use only the drum or some other instruments?

I mainly use the frame drum when I teach others how to engage. The drum is foundational. I love music and sound. I have the sounding balls. I have a lot of different instruments. I even have a steel drum that’s very etheric and beautiful. When I first played the frame drum, I could tune in to the visions that were coming. All of a sudden, I could see my ancestry and ancestors around the fire. It was pretty wild around these groups of women playing the drum. It brought me to tears. It’s like a portal. You’re tapping into this dimension and it’s there. You don’t even have to imagine it. It takes you there.

There’s something very primordial that the drum activates within us and it’s also our heartbeat. It’s the first sound that we hear in the womb as incarnate beings. There’s something very soothing. It allows us to rest and lean into that. There have been a lot of studies, which I’m sure you both know because you do all the sound work, about sounds alone, drumming, and our health. It affects all aspects of our health, the emotional, physical, and spiritual bodies, and our thought patterns. It’s affecting all dimensions of our being, which is pretty powerful. That’s true for sound as well.

That’s beautiful because there is so much stimulus. Even the radio waves and the different satellite waves and everything that is going through the air take us out of our natural rhythm. I can see how that would be transporting to shut all that out, be with the rhythm of the drum, and get back to your natural state.

It’s like an entrainment in a way. It allows your whole body to start to regulate your whole nervous system. It’s very powerful that way. I’ve seen a lot of women as they’re going through these transitions or even when they’re dysregulated in their cycles or going into menopause, it’s like starting to use the drum and their sound. You’ve heard the sounds that I use for the three wombs. We can do some of that after but using the sound to start to come back because we do live in this stimulated world. Most people are out of rhythm and that affects our physical health, cycle, emotions, and everything. It’s bringing that back into one treatment on our nervous system.

No wonder a lot of Sufis used the drum in the practice of remembering so they could remember the divine. You can feel the effect. I remember even with my Sufi friend, sometimes we would randomly start to play drums together. I’m not a drum player or anything. Naturally, as you fill in the circle and enter, this has a very powerful effect. It’s one way for young people to connect to spirituality. Have you worked with young people before?

Yes, they are very drawn to sound and music. Here in Florida, they are all around. They’re doing these sound baths and yoga. It’s another way to regulate. It’s very popular. I’ve done a lot of different groups. I usually do it in accordance with the moon, dark moon, and new moon. It’s an amazing entry point because it can feel it right away and they don’t have to subscribe to any particular belief system. I agree with you. It’s very powerful that way.

I can see this as something that would be so powerful for grandmothers, mothers, and daughters to do together on a regular basis for their health. You mentioned turning fifteen. I have a niece at that age and I’m freaking out about it because of all the different directions life can take around that age. When you love someone and you care about them, you want to help them to preserve their connection with themselves and not lose themselves as many of us do. We take that painful journey. It’s all for a purpose.

It can bring harmony between the three generations.

As you know from sound and this is your territory, it’ll bring us into a coherent field, even if we are just using our voice. Sometimes in our circles, we’ll use voice because that in itself is powerful. The drum is almost like an anchor of rhythm. It brings us all into a coherent field. It’s like when women are together or live together and then they start leading at the same time. They’re coming into a rhythm.

That can happen fast when we do these sound circles. It’s like a creation of an alignment of harmony because that aspect of harmony already lives in your body and it gets disrupted with all of the different simulations and our thoughts. We don’t go in a lot. I mean maybe we do but it’s for the general public. If you’re not doing daily practices, you’re pulled out and scattered in so many ways.

That’s exactly what I did with my children when they were teens and also their friends. We will do that circle and drumming circle randomly. We didn’t have even enough drums but they would use anything they could drum on. It’s lovely. Our audience is probably very curious and excited.

You don’t have to go out and get a drum. Just hum. Studies show that humming is so powerful to regulate your nervous system and emotions when you feel a little stressed, who isn’t? It brings you back into your center and core, and more alignment with that divine flow within. That itself is powerful. With the humming, a patient of mine brought her child. I carried her. I have three adult girls. It’s been a minute.

The minute I carried her, she was falling asleep a little rested on my shoulder and I automatically started humming. I remember, “I used to do this with my kids.” It was so organic. The sound was bringing her into this very peaceful coherent feel. It was pretty amazing and it reminded me that I believe everybody can sing. It’s not about hitting a note or making it sound a certain way. This is what we’ve been indoctrinated with. It’s about sounding and wailing if we feel sad or depressed. It’s about expressing with a sound like all of nature does.

If we bring it into that mindset, it’s very liberating for all of us. I’ll do a medicine song, which uses the drum and some organic sounds. If you use words, it brings you more into your intellectual mind. It brings you away from that more primordial essence that we’re trying to tune into. I’ll do a little medicine song. It’s for us to connect with our heart and womb and feel the sound moving through.

If you feel like you want to sound with me, then more power to you. That’s what it’s about. Everybody can learn to do this for themselves and others. I have a little medicine song that added the quality of Noura, light. I often do some of the qualities as well and weave them in as they organically come through, which is something that is very effective and you can also practice.

It was beautiful. I feel transported.

When you say that, it reminds me that the biggest issue I have that people tell me is, “I sit down and meditate.” I’m bombarded with problem-solving, thoughts, agendas, and lists because we live in that world. We’re constantly using sound and voice. As Sufis, we use weird memories, qualities, and all of that but organically and see what wants to come out. It brings you right into that divine dimension within us and outside of us. It brings you right into those holy places. You can be nourished by that.

There’s a powerful effect. It’s beautiful because it helps people to focus and then transport us. I’m curious how long usually the drumming circle or healing session takes.

When I work individually with people, it’s 60 to 90 minutes because it’s like healing. We go into somatically what you’re feeling but then as they’re moving into and transforming, we’re using sound. It’s 60 to 90 minutes when we’re doing some group work. It’s 3 or 4 minutes and that’s a medicine song. You can do that for everything. You can do that in the morning like, “What’s here? What am I feeling?” You can do that for yourself or others. It’s a way to anchor a piece. I’m talking about deep like when we’re working with trauma and something where you’re hitting that wall over and over, and we want to heal deeper. It’s effective in a few minutes.

I want to ask a question because you’ve got a lot of credentials. You are one of the most accomplished women that I know. You’ve been a single mom. That’s one of the things I’ve always witnessed and marveled at. You’ve written several books and got an acupuncturist. Can you tell us about your credentials? I’m curious to know how this merges with some of the work that you do. Holy acupuncture is more traditional work.

I’m an acupuncture physician in the State of Florida. I have a PhD in Quantum Integrative Medicine, which to me is understanding the quantum language of spirituality because that’s how I see it.  It’s all the same thing. You can speak it in terms of physical health and what’s happening in biochemistry. You can speak it according to energy and quantum physics, not that I’m that great at that.

You can speak it in terms of Chinese medicine and what’s happening with the elements. There are all different languages for this thing we call healing and help. Also, the evolution of how we’re growing physically and emotionally. At the end of the day, we want to feel good. It’s simple. We want to do good and be happy, which is not always that easy but we want to spread that.

I work a lot with healers. To me, it’s about understanding healing on these different levels, the physical, emotional, and spiritual, and how they all integrate to create real tangible differences. It’s like, “How do I heal from depression and anxiety?” This is a real thing. It’s not just a spiritual bypass. It’s physical because whatever is happening physically in our body is a reflection of what’s happening in our spirit, essence, and deeper consciousness.

It’s like a crisis so that we can connect with where we need the love, come out of separation, and come into union with our true selves. It’s not about just the true self. All the feminine work is about coming into union with the divine dimension and this physicality, in our physical bodies, opening up the sensing, feelings, and heart, and recognizing that sacredness and holiness are in every single physical aspect of creation, including ourselves, the animals, trees, and everything. I use sound because it’s so organic.

I haven’t done a straight acupuncture session for many years. I also did all the Sufi work. Before that, I did a lot of the Vedic, Yogi, and chakras. I’m working with that system, and then the Sufi, Chinese, and Taoist systems of energy work so all these different systems. In a way, I bring them all together. That’s what I teach because there’s an essence at the core of all of those systems. There’s an essence of light that I refer to as the feminine or the great mother. At the core, it’s about connecting to that.

It’s about the womb of mercy and compassion. In Arabic, it is Rahim and it comes with the divine name, which is most gracious and compassionate. I’m curious because our world is going through trauma and a lot of communities are traumatized with other problems. Everything originally is a trauma that causes anxiety. I am curious to know, and you don’t need to share names, some of the inspiring stories of people who walked through the trauma with the sound healing that inspires others to try it.

I mainly work with women. Collectively as women, what I see a lot is the trauma that turns into anxiety, fear of expressing ourselves, or saying things out loud because they’re not going to like us. They’re going to exclude us. It’s a fear. It’s a terror that we carry within our DNA. That’s understandable given the collective history of women and what our ancestors have gone through. We carry that in our blood until it’s healed. There are a lot of us here who want to heal that for the lineage whether we identify as healers or not. 

There were women who came to me who didn’t identify as healers and who were like, “I don’t want to live like how the whole family has been.” They feel different. They know there’s more and they’re willing to break that cycle of trauma. One thing that I did for years was work with fertility. The way that I look at fertility and women who have challenges with fertility is it’s almost like you’re going to bring in and give birth to the next generation, yet you can’t. There’s something that needs to happen for your body to come into the right relationship for you to be able to give birth.

It goes back to what I was saying that any of these physical conditions is for our growth. They are like crises that happen so that we can grow through them. Most of the women would do very deep work that might have not ever been exposed to, like looking at the places where they hate themselves or where they’ve indoctrinated this idea of what it is to be a woman that is so hidden. They didn’t even know they were carrying it because they thought, “This is what everybody thinks or does.” Wherever there was that self-hatred against our bodies, that’s a big issue if we don’t look a certain way. Also, starvation and all of those things.

When they would walk through that, sometimes it would take 3, 6,  9 months, or 1 year. They would walk through enough and then their bodies would be able to conceive. It’s pretty amazing. I did that for many years and it would never stop astounding me of how these women think. Physiologically, there’s nothing wrong. A lot of them end up being diagnosed with unexplained infertility. It’s all of these psychological and spiritual imbalances within us that affect us.

Those things are pretty fascinating to see in a woman’s body and people with issues with menopause, periods, or anxiety. 90% of people have anxiety in general, or maybe 95%. I read this study a few years ago for my last book that 45% of Americans are on some kind of medication to alter and deal with their anxiety. It’s probably 85% now. Anxiety or depression are two sides of the same coin.

It is an indication of how far out of rhythm we are from our natural cells and as you’re talking about the things that women struggle with when it comes to our ability to give birth to the next generation. There’s a lot physiologically that is aligning there. There are so many messages from the culture and the world, as well as the ancestral stuff that we might not even recognize what we’re carrying and what we have embedded into our consciousness about what it means to be feminine.

Also, being a woman or a mother, and giving birth. It’s no wonder when it doesn’t align with your core truth of what you know inside your being or that core rhythm. All these other things are saying, “This is real.” Your core rhythm is saying, “No.” To use that sound to help people reconnect with that core rhythm, bring it all back into where your truth lies.

Sound is vibration. When we’re doing the different locations, there are 3 wombs, 7 chakras, and many others but I mainly work with the 3 wombs because they’re so simple and powerful. You can do sounds. If we think of our body as 60% to 70% water, depending on who you talk to, the water vibrates. Have you ever seen water in a singing bowl like the experiment they have on YouTube? The water is moving so its sound will move whatever stagnation, you can speak in terms of Chinese medicine, blockage, trauma, or whatever language you want to use, that has been stored there in our nervous system in these different portals energy center.

When we direct and do specific sounds for these places, we don’t have to physically figure out the trauma. We tune into sound and feel, giving it a space for those feelings, which is like energy that’s been blocked and our nervous system because we’ve shut down out of safety and survival most of the time. The sound transforms. It moves it out. That’s why movement and dancing are powerful. After it moves, you’ll get the epiphany. You’ll understand. It’s a little bit different when we’re working in this way.

It’s not about figuring it out. You can do the therapy and that’s helpful for certain things but then you have to alchemize, metabolize, transform it, and hear in your body, the energy field that is what some might call the nervous system. I don’t think it’s just the nervous system. There’s a whole other portal in our chakras and energy centers. It’ll transform. It’s like sitting it up in a vibration. That happens sometimes in a car. When you’re driving for hours, all this stuff starts to move. I don’t know if that happens to anybody else.

That’s why I love driving.

That’s part of the vibration. I always love that. You are in your field. You’re being shaken up a bit. This is a nice a little bit more precise way to do it than a 3 or 4-hour drive.

As you were talking about infertility, depression, and anxiety, they are all related. I wonder also if you can talk about how it is affecting the relationship between men and women. I meet a lot of single people who can’t find relationships that are satisfying. That also has to do with some probably trauma.

How we relate to others is we look at it from a spiritual perspective. The others are reflections. If another person whether it’s a personal or romantic relationship or a friend, if they’re triggering something within us, we don’t have the foresight to say, “I’m being triggered here. Let me work through this,” and have tools. This is the main important thing. It’s not about going to have worked on all your life. It’s like, “These things are going to arise organically. This is how we grow.” Feeling uncomfortable, sad, grieving, or all of these different feelings is normal rather than shutting them down.

Have the tools to move it, reflect, and be able to grow. What happens a lot in very close relationships that we feel safe with is we project like, “What’s his? What’s mine? I don’t know,” and make the other person wrong because it’s easier than having to deal with those feelings and become responsible for ourselves and our happiness. A lot of us might still be carrying some of these internalized beliefs around, “It’s their job to make you happy,” and all of these things that a lot of times are unconscious. We don’t even know.

For women, with a lot of the patriarchy, it might look like we’re very free in the Western world but we carry all those patriarchal values and cultural values. It’s all been internalized. Sometimes, we don’t even know that it’s affecting us and then we feel all this unworthiness and fear. My big thing was always fear and terror, expressing the feeling of, “I’m going to die.” That’s very common amongst women because, in our DNA, we’re carrying that from our ancestors. They’ve died tragically and there’s a way to also heal. I do a lot of the work with the ancestral mother line so we can heal all of that, be the face of our ancestors, and come in with our light. It’s powerful. A lot of times, we don’t have the tools to handle that.

I have to ask before we end this interview. Can you say more about the three wombs?

Yes. We’re talking about three energetic wombs and not necessarily physical. However, I’m glad you said that. In Chinese medicine, they might call it the Dantian. We know we have three centers. In Western Neurology, they’re talking about the three brains. We have our normal brain and heart. The heart has a brain and it functions on its own. It does all of that, and then we have the gut-brain. We can relate it to those physiological systems.

The three wombs are the consciousness. It’s also an aspect of the seven chakras which we won’t go into this episode but everybody is familiar with the chakras. With the three wombs, we have our sacral womb as the lower womb. We have our heart womb and then our head womb. I’ll start from the top down because it’s easier. The head womb has you think of the different glands in that area. We have our brains and thought patterns. It’s our intellectual capacity even though it’s not just in our head.

It’s the way that we create neural pathways. Our beliefs are in this area even though in our whole body. If you think of an intellectual, then we have our heart space, which is this whole space. It covers a little bit of our solar plexus. These are not black and white. We have to divide them to be able to speak about these if there are concepts. Our heart space is our felt experience. It’s our emotional body but in the Sufi tradition, it’s how we can turn and how the heart turns, and then it witnesses a lot of divine.

It has the ability to experience ourselves as separate beings in the world but it also has the ability to witness ourselves as divine beings and as one. It depends on where you’re witnessing it from. That’s all in the heart. What’s important about that is to connect with the divine aspect but it’s important to feel because most of us have shut down, whether it’s due to trauma. When we shut down the uncomfortable feelings from the heart and being human, there’s grief, sadness, fear, and terror. This whole range of uncomfortable emotions is a reality in this plane.

When we shut that down, it also shuts down our ability to feel the good things, the pleasant, the states of ecstatic joy, pleasure, and bliss. It’s not like, “We’re going to shut this down. We’re going to feel this.” That doesn’t happen. That’s what we think is happening. We have our sacral womb. If you move down in your sacral womb, it is connected to the essence. It starts from the heart but then it connects to the womb of creation.

It connects to the divine and a lot, whatever word the great mother is. We could lean into that and be in that space. For women, our physiology is a little different than men’s. A lot of us have physical wombs that we can continue to bring through and give birth to the next generation. Even if we’re not doing that physically, we’re still bringing through that compassion and essence as human beings. We all do that. We do it through the heart by feeling. We do it through creative thoughts once we break down the old neural pathways that were used to.

One of my mentors calls it the habituated pathways of trauma that we’ve created. We’re breaking through those habituated patterns. One of the things that sound does and you can use different sounds for each one, I’ll demonstrate that in a minute if you want so that your readers can play with this, is that when you’re able to connect all the way through into that divine realm through your sacral womb whether it’s a male or female because we all have that energetic womb. As that’s moving through you, it’s what moves into your head.

You get the epiphanies and creative thoughts rather than that cycle of fears and thoughts that go on and on that are not creative. It’s almost like connecting to that divine anchoring in that feminine essence, which is what I call it. It changes not just your energy but also your physiology. It changes everything. Your biochemistry and emotional experience change because you can feel the pain but it’s almost like you are anchored in the love. You can feel the grief but there’s something else that you know you can access when you need it, and we all need it.

It’s hard to feel grief or fear if we’re not anchored in the greater love if there’s not a level of safety. Another big piece for women is about creating that safety in our bodies and breaking through all of the trauma experiences of fear and terror. I know that one well. That’s been my life and personal journey. I can share a diagram with you for your audience that will help. Everybody can do this with me if they want.

We’re going to put our left hand over the right hand, and it doesn’t matter, whatever feels right, right below our umbilicus or lower belly. Let’s take a deep breath there. We’re going to breathe and make a sound. A sound that we’re going to use is the, “Ooh,” sound. It could be any tone. It’s best to do as low of a tone as possible. We’re going to go up and sound as we do the other one. Let’s go put our hands on our belly and focus for a second. As you’re doing the sound, we’re going to feel what’s happening in that whole pelvic region and the intelligence that’s there in this lower womb. We’re going to do three of these sounds. You can do 3, 6, 9, or 12. Any factor of 3 is powerful.

Take another breath to integrate that. Notice what you’re feeling in your body. There’s no right or wrong. Allow and become present with whatever is here. Let’s bring our hands to our heart space, the center of our heart chakra. We’re going to use the, “Ah,” sound, which we’re very familiar with. We’re going to sound that into our hearts and notice without letting go of any expectations. We’ll do that three times.

Breathe and allow. Be with the silence. Let’s bring our hands up to our head womb. You could even put your hand on the side of your head or right in front of your eyes, covering your third eye with your pinkies, which is powerful. We’re also activating the pineal gland. We’re going to do the “Eh” sound as high as you feel comfortable with. This is not about straining or pushing. It’s whatever tone feels comfortable to you. Play around with it. This activates the pineal gland, pituitary gland, and hypothalamus.

We are coming into silence and then tuning into our whole body’s energy field with our breath. One last thing that I’ll say about that is as you’re doing the “Oh,” the lower “Ah,” and the “Eh,” they’re also activating the glands, the pineal gland, pituitary, hypothalamus, and heart. You’re activating the thyroid, thymus gland, and even the adrenals. The lower is activates the ovaries and then the root gland as well. It’s bringing that alignment into harmony.

Your body innately knows how to heal and come into alignment. It’s like when we cut ourselves, cells know what to do. There’s this innate intelligence in your system. We’re activating that. We can always add an intention if we’re going through something because we’re powerful in our minds. It’s the intention of creating health in my physical body, healing my immune system, thyroid, anxiety, or relationship. We can do these three womb activations, activate this harmony within us, and shift our biochemistry. It’s that’s simple.

That’s very powerful.

Thank you.

 It’s even more powerful when you do it in person or a group. It’s beautiful.

More importantly, it’s about us doing it at home. It’s a tool. I’m big on teaching people how to fish. I don’t know how to fish but you know what I mean. It’s to come into that sovereignty. We all need support when we need support. It’s a maintenance tool. We need it more and more. There’s a big crisis in our world. We’re all individually responsible for ourselves as we’re healing ourselves and coming into greater love. From that space, we’re transmitting that. We become that anchor on the planet and transmit that even in going to the supermarket. It’s part of what our spirit is transmitting. It’s important that we do it for ourselves first.

That is the part that inspired your demonstration of the “Ah” sound. We called it in Arabic, iftitah. It’s opening. The second one, “Oh” sound, we call it damma, which is embrace or unifying. The “Eh” sound is called kasr. It’s almost like a breaking pattern of thinking and behavior because it means breaking. I thought that was inspiring to connect both systems and see that it’s all inspired by one source, our creator within us and we feel it.

It’s breaking the neural pathways that have become habituated patterns so that we can be more ourselves and who we truly are. I’m doing a thirteen-month practitioner course, which is Feminine Medicine Woman. The feminine work is about us first getting to these places within us because then how do we do it for others? It’s not like the weekend thing where you learn a technique.

It’s a transformation. We have to apply these tools, let them transform us, and then we become the carriers of that. We already have it within us but we’ve been separated from this wisdom. We know what it is. It’s a remembrance. It’s coming into that wisdom within us and breaking those patterns that have separated us from it. That’s coming up on February 2nd, 2024.

Do you have a website?

I do. The website is The-Feminine-Path.com. It’s the Feminine Medicine Women Practitioner course. They can also email me. We’re doing applications. It’s limited to women for thirteen months. We do voice medicine, wisdom, and mysteries, work with our ancestral mother line, clear the collective trauma that’s been in our line within ourselves, and so much more. Thank you. It’s been wonderful.

It has been fabulous to have you. With everything that you shared, I thank you so much. Maybe we’ll have an opportunity to connect again and do even more.

I’d love that. Thank you.

I appreciate your coming and talking about your experience and expertise with us.

I’m honored. Thank you so much. Many blessings.

Thank you. Blessings to you. Readers, please check out Noura’s website, see all the beautiful offerings that she has, and get even more taste of what she’s got going on. It’s some incredible work that’s so needed in our world. Thank you all very much.
