What does it take to choose liberation when the entire world has decided you should suffer?In one of the most powerful conversations to date on the 1% Frequency Podcast, Alja sits down with HayaYasmeen — a Palestinian healer, yoga teacher, actress, and activist born and raised in Jerusalem — for a conversation that is raw, spiritual, and utterly unlike anything you've heard about Palestine before.
This isn't a political episode. It's a conversation about the deepest kind of freedom; the kind no occupation can take from you.
🔑 Inside:
- The reality of living under war and occupation
- The abusive relationship, the violent checkpoint encounter, and the moment her entire belief system collapsed
- Why she stopped waiting for the world to "see" Palestine - and what she understood instead
- Can you actually heal in a warzone? And what that looks like for people who underwent unimaginable suffering.
- The silence & complicity of the wellness industry during the the 2023-now genocide
- Understanding Soul-level co-creation even in the darkest places.
💡 Standout Moments
"I was vibrating abuse. Of course the universe kept giving me experiences to confirm everything I believed."
"In the face of darkness, we need to become the most vibrant, joyful, excited-about-life light we can — in order to crush that darkness."
"Every colony has fallen. Every oppression has fallen. It might not be in the first 80 years. But light will prevail."
"If you're indifferent in a situation of conflict, you're on the side of the oppressor."
🌱 Jerusalem Healing Sanctuary
After 14+ years abroad, HayaYasmeen returned to Palestine two years ago with a clear mission: create a healing space on the ground for her community — a web of practitioners, a refuge for women facing abuse, a place to breathe, regulate, reconnect, and reclaim agency.
She's actively fundraising and looking for support — financial, expertise-based, or simply your time.
