Episode 28- Rumi wisdom on Winter of the Heart
[EPISODE DESCRIPTION - Ready to publish] When your heart feels empty, you may not be failing you may be in winter. The Winter of the Heart offers a deeply comforting reminder that silence, loss, and waiting are not always signs that something is broken. Sometimes they are the hidden season where roots grow.This episode speaks directly to anyone moving through grief, exhaustion, spiritual dryness, disappointment, or a life season that feels unfinished. The Episode explores the ache of closed doors and quiet prayers, then reframes it through the language of nature, transformation, and divine timing. Drawing on the mystery often echoed in Rumi’s poetry, she shows why what looks barren on the outside may be alive beneath the surface.You’ll hear a gentle meditation on why the tree does not panic in winter, why the seed is buried before it flowers, and why your heart may need rest before it can receive again. Ghulama Mustafa also shares her original poem The Winter of the Heart, a moving piece about grief, surrender, and the unseen growth that happens when nobody is applauding. You’ll discover: Why emotional winter is not the same as failure How to recognize hidden growth in seasons of waiting The spiritual power of surrendering control and stop “digging up the seed” A calming breath practice to settle the body before the poem A reframing of pain that protects hope without denying reality This is a reminder for the weary, the grieving, and the quietly hopeful: not everything beautiful arrives blooming. Some answers come later. Some mercy arrives as waiting. And some of the deepest changes in you happen before anyone else can see them. Essential listening if you need comfort, perspective, or a softer way to trust the season you’re in.
