How is your relationship with Allah & Quran with Dr. Yamina Bouguenaya?

Since we are getting closer to Ramadan, and we are currently in February, the month of Valentine, Coach Ola wanted to focus on relationships from a holistic approach. Therefore, in this episode, we focused on our relationship with Allah swt and Quran because they are both important to have a spiritual healthy body and mind. 

Our guest today is Dr. Yamina Bouguenaya. She is originally from Algeria, after completing her Ph.D. in Quantum Physics in England, Dr. Bouguenaya lived in Turkey for more than a decade before moving to the United States. By then, her interest had shifted from the world of physics to the vast and much more illuminating inner world of the self and Islamic spirituality. This interest led her to pursue intensive training in the Islamic sciences under various renowned Muslim scholars. She did doctoral work in Arabic and Islamic Studies at Indiana University and is fluent in Arabic, French, English and Turkish.

Dr. Bouguenaya has published extensively in several of those languages on Islam, especially on Quranic Studies, Islamic theology, and the Islamic philosophy of science. She taught Arabic and Islamic studies in different universities in the US, her last university position being an Associate Professor of Islamic Studies at Carthage College before she dedicated herself to full-time non-profit work. She offers extensive spiritual counseling and coaching, workshops, classes, and retreats.

She is currently the director of a non-profit Quranic spirituality organization called Receiving Nur.

In this episode, we focused on the following topics:

• Reflection-why it's important to focus on it. 
• Awareness-why it's important to be aware of our life internally and externally. 
• heedlessness-how we can relapse into it. 
• Breathing-how it helps to clear mind, body, and soul.

and much more!
