Tasting Love, Living Surrender: A Conversation with Rahima Schmall
In this heartfelt episode of Beyond Names, Dr. Habib is joined by Rahima Susan Schmall, a psychologist, healer, and Sufi teacher who has spent over four decades weaving together psychology, spirituality, and embodied wisdom. Rahima shares her remarkable spiritual journey—from early awakenings in Al-Anon to the St. Francis Prayer, Buddhist practice, and finally the Sufi path. Together, she and Dr. Habib explore surrender as a doorway to love, the role of hardship in deepening trust, and the healing difference between cure and true wholeness. This rich conversation invites us to reconnect with awe, taste the love at the heart of existence, and remember our inherent value simply as human beings.
