Omid dives into the ocean of love, contemplating how the nature of the waves washing ashore and receding back mirrors the human experience.

This special episode is from Sharon Salzberg's Living an Authentic Life Summit and is hosted by Andres Gonzalez from the Holistic Life Foundation.

Lifetime access to the full summit, featuring all 30 speakers and five days of content, is available here: Living an Authentic Life Summit: A Journey to Inner Peace, Freedom and Joy

In this episode of Sufi Heart, Omid is interviewed by Andres Gonzalez exploring:

- The journey of living a spiritually luminous life

- Anger as a path to higher consciousness

- Expansion and contraction as the rhythm of life

- Breaking the callousness of the heart

- Being true to the inner child within

- An expansive and contractive breathing exercise

- To explore more on the topic of expansion and contraction, listen to episode 186 of Heart Wisdom.

“Every heart has to break and not every heart that’s broken breaks open. We want a heart that opens up. Opens up towards God, opens up towards all, opens up towards our fellow human beings, and opens up to that ultimate mystery of what we are. And what an awesome encounter that is, and how terrifying that is.” – Omid Safi
