Listen by Heart | Stories from Women of the South China Sea | Peacebuilding for Mental Health

Listen in to conversations with women of the South China Sea in search of one common thread -- life purpose... Podcast host Jasmine Low speaks with women of this region, shares their stories and narrates articles from yesteryear and delves into her 10-year research into sound frequencies and how that got her to "Listen by Heart" in finding her own purpose. Were all of the women before her in search of the same goal? It's telling in the daily greeting by Nanyang migrants in their own dialects, "Have you eaten?". Is this why so many people share food pics because it's a trophy for survival?

    Che Puan Sarimah Ibrahim, Irish-Malaysian International Actress talks about mental health

    Welcome to the Listen by Heart Podcast, where we feature Stories from Women of the South China Sea. I’m Jasmine Low and today, I will be joined by Che Puan Sarimah Ibrahim, a woman with many talents. I remember watching her present MTV music videos, emceeing events on television, she even had her own talk show. In her IMDb profile, she is an Actor, TV Host, Model, Voice Over, Emcee, Singer, Presenter, Mental Health Spokesperson, Fitness model and recently, loving wife and mother to a three-year-old (now four).  In preparing for this interview, Sarimah answers some of my queries in between rehearsals to emcee a black-tie event that was attended by Malaysian royalty, key members of the industry producers, directors and casts. It’s a huge evening, she tells me, and I can imagine the nerves building up in preparation for such an amazing night.  She is Muslim, Irish-Asian who is strong minded, resilient, she has a Western Asian vibe and holds tightly to her Islamic faith. She has been to mosques, churches, the bottom of the ocean to the clouds! She has seen life through a grandmother who tapped rubber at 4am in Johor to make ends meet, an Irish orphaned grandmother who was raised in a monastery and raised 8 children.  Sarimah took a sabbatical from the entertainment industry having found her soulmate, getting married and starting a family.  I met Sarimah thanks to a LinkedIn recommendation by a mutual friend Dina Zaman, and we connected to discuss her work in mental health advocacy. Sarimah, welcome! Connect with Sarimah via social media: Instagram | Facebook | TikTok | X --- You have been listening to Jasmine Low’s Audio Journey experience, an AFT Podcast production.

    The Beauty of Death - poetry written by Khalil Gibran (narrated by Jasmine H. Low)

    The Beauty of Death was written by Lebanese-American writer, Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931). It's presented here in a three-part series, read for a friend who is leaving our realm. Read the full text here: https://listenbyheart.webprojx.com/2023/08/09/special-the-beauty-of-death/. --- The Beauty of Death by Kahlil Gibran   Part One - The Calling     Let me sleep, for my soul is intoxicated with love and    Let me rest, for my spirit has had its bounty of days and nights;    Light the candles and burn the incense around my bed, and    Scatter leaves of jasmine and roses over my body;    Embalm my hair with frankincense and sprinkle my feet with perfume,    And read what the hand of Death has written on my forehead.      Let me rest in the arms of Slumber, for my open eyes are tired;    Let the silver-stringed lyre quiver and soothe my spirit;    Weave from the harp and lute a veil around my withering heart.      Sing of the past as you behold the dawn of hope in my eyes, for    It's magic meaning is a soft bed upon which my heart rests.      Dry your tears, my friends, and raise your heads as the flowers    Raise their crowns to greet the dawn.    Look at the bride of Death standing like a column of light    Between my bed and the infinite;    Hold your breath and listen with me to the beckoning rustle of    Her white wings.      Come close and bid me farewell; touch my eyes with smiling lips.    Let the children grasp my hands with soft and rosy fingers;    Let the ages place their veined hands upon my head and bless me;    Let the virgins come close and see the shadow of God in my eyes,    And hear the echo of His will racing with my breath.  Part Two - The Ascending      I have passed a mountain peak and my soul is soaring in the    Firmament of complete and unbound freedom;    I am far, far away, my companions, and the clouds are    Hiding the hills from my eyes.    The valleys are becoming flooded with an ocean of silence, and the    Hands of oblivion are engulfing the roads and the houses;    The prairies and fields are disappearing behind a white specter    That looks like the spring cloud, yellow as the candlelight    And red as the twilight.      The songs of the waves and the humans of the streams    Are scattered, and the voices of the throngs reduced to silence;    And I can hear naught but the music of Eternity    In exact harmony with the spirit's desires.    I am cloaked in full whiteness;    I am in comfort; I am in peace.  Read the full text here: https://listenbyheart.webprojx.com/2023/08/09/special-the-beauty-of-death/⁠.

    Su Lin Tan | Australian Journalist

    Australian journalist Su-Lin Tan spent her youth cross country commuting from the southernmost city in Malaysia, Johor Bahru to Singapore for a better education,  just like Crazy Rich Asians actor Ronnie Chieng. Su-Lin speaks about her early life in Malaysia and Singapore and recalls family life including her Ah Ma (Grandma) who gifted her with stories from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. She is a qualified accountant and worked in investment banking and funds management both in London and Sydney before becoming a journalist. A Chartered Accountant, she is conversant in Mandarin, Bahasa Malaysia and Hokkien. Su-Lin’s experience as a business journalist can be traced back to her first job at Ernst & Young in Melbourne. Soon after the turn of the millennium, Su-Lin joined then Fairfax Media as a journalist and there, started her burgeoning career as a thought-leader in writing critical and often poignant pieces that have aroused attention from different factions of Australian political commentators. Her curriculum-vitae is clear cut. Her focus lies predominantly in business, economics and political reporting, also opinion pieces that offer a thorough insight into key issues that matter across the Asia Pacific region written from Australia to Hong Kong and now Singapore.  Read more: https://listenbyheart.webprojx.com/2023/05/24/s6-su-lin-tan-australian-journalist/

    A Fiction Special: Dancing to the gongs of the South China Sea (written and narrated by Jasmine H. Low)

    A short story by Jasmine H. Low, Dancing to the gongs of the South China Sea is an unfinished piece that’s a work-in-progress, a culmination of works explored in an 8-week creative writing class with Sharon Bakar’s Words on Fire to “Finding the Flow”. Jasmine describes this writing process as going with the flow, and she’s putting this out there even if it’s a draft and incomplete with some flaws. There’s a story that wants to be told and I’m only an inch deep. Thank you dear Sharon and classmates of WoF Finding the Flow class of March-May 2023 for helping me get unstuck. For spoilers to the backstory, visit the website: https://listenbyheart.webprojx.com/2023/05/22/a-fiction-special-dancing-to-the-gongs-of-the-south-china-sea/ to learn more. Thank you.
