Meet iLan Azoulai | Spiritual Life Coach & Sound Therapist

We had the good fortune of connecting with iLan Azoulai and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi iLan, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
Growing up in an Orthodox Jewish family in Israel, with a lineage steeped in Kabbalah and mysticism, and a father who held the position of Chief of Police in Tel-Aviv, my early years were shaped by conventional advice, dogmatic traditions, and societal expectations. However, despite this environment, I felt an intrinsic calling for something deeper – a sense that life held more than just conformity and compliance. While my upbringing imposed a culture of fear, my soul resonated with the idea of boundless love and expansion of both mind and heart.

Amid the constraints of my upbringing, I intuited that life’s journey encompassed far more than mere existence or adherence to others’ expectations. From a young age, I found myself in conversations with spirits, receiving insights and knowledge that affirmed the existence of realms beyond our earthly plane. Even in the fourth grade, I questioned whether life was solely about compliance or if there was a higher purpose waiting to be discovered. Despite the laughter and disapproval that met inquiries into a “higher purpose,” I recognized the need to chart my own course, beyond the limitations imposed by family and society.

Navigating the chasm between spiritual downloads and practical application wasn’t easy. Yet, I held onto the understanding that everything in our three-dimensional reality carried a profound spiritual significance. This realization allowed me to accept that every experience, chosen before birth, served to enrich my journey. This acceptance paved the way for meaningful connections and effective communication, skills I honed as I resisted dogma and societal pressure. My aptitude for persuasive speech eventually led me into sales positions, though I found them unfulfilling due to their lack of purpose beyond monetary gain.

An enduring passion emerged during my childhood – music. At ten years old, I immersed myself in playing the guitar and composing music, a gift that became a vital outlet. I developed my musical prowess primarily by ear, and later pursued formal education in Israel’s first Music College and Berklee College of Music in Boston after relocating to the USA in 1993.

Throughout diverse career ventures – from computer consulting to photography and videography – I remained committed to exploring the spiritual facet of each endeavor. Any pursuit devoid of spiritual alignment was abandoned, a testament to my pursuit of a purpose-driven path that harnessed my gifts for the betterment of others.

In 2009, my journey took an illuminating turn when I encountered a Peruvian Shaman in Boston, whose mentorship spanned seven transformative years. Reconnecting with spirituality deepened my conscious journey, crystallizing my purpose into its present form. By 2011, I recognized my path was one of refining my spiritual experience and utilizing my gifts to guide others on their own spiritual journeys.

Given my affinity for music, delving into sound therapy was a natural progression. Understanding that everything is energy, and that frequencies shape our existence, I realized the power of choice in manifesting reality. Initially working with women to heal the balance between the feminine and masculine energies, I utilized Tibetan bowls and vocal frequency analysis to uncover spiritual blockages. This process allowed individuals to release knots inhibiting their journey towards desired manifestations.

My journey with plant medicine inspired an innovative fusion that birthed HiTea™ – a personalized tea blend designed to elevate consciousness. Crafted from heart-opening herbs and plants, HiTea™ facilitates chakra activation, relaxation, lucid dreaming, and spiritual awakening.

Today, as a Spiritual Life Coach and Sound Therapist, my mission centers on guiding individuals to comprehend their spiritual voyage, empowering them to manifest their aspirations in the physical realm. With a harmonious blend of mysticism, sound therapy, and heart-centered wisdom, I am dedicated to helping others realize their potential and purpose, echoing the profound insights of my spiritual journey.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend were to embark on a week-long adventure with me in the Los Angeles area, I’d curate an itinerary that seamlessly melds relaxation, spiritual exploration, and soulful nourishment. We’d kickstart our mornings with the invigorating embrace of the Pacific Ocean at various beaches, each with its unique charm and character. From the tranquil shores of Redondo Beach to the iconic stretches of Santa Monica and the rugged beauty of Malibu, we’d let the rhythmic waves wash away cares and revitalize our spirits, setting a serene tone for the day.

For breakfast, we’d embark on a culinary journey to the heart of wellness-focused cafes scattered throughout the area. These establishments not only nourish our bodies but also align with our intention to cherish well-being. With their menus boasting a delightful array of organic, plant-based options, we’d embark on a sensory adventure that invigorates our palates and honors our commitment to mindful consumption.

Our afternoons would be dedicated to exploring the spiritual tapestry of the region. Given my passion for sound therapy, I’d arrange for a rejuvenating sound healing session at a local wellness center. Here, enveloped in resonant frequencies, we’d find a harmonious sanctuary for self-discovery and inner equilibrium. As the sun descends, we’d participate in a beachside meditation circle, allowing the hues of twilight and the symphony of waves to accompany us on our journey within.

To further tantalize our senses, we’d embark on a gastronomic exploration through the cultural kaleidoscope of Los Angeles. Journeying through diverse neighborhoods, we’d savor authentic cuisines from around the world, cultivating a deeper appreciation for global interconnectedness.

Our days would be interspersed with visits to art galleries, local markets, and leisurely strolls along the sun-kissed boardwalks. We’d also reserve a day for traversing the scenic trails of nearby canyons, immersing ourselves in the serenity of nature’s embrace as we connect with the earth beneath our feet.

As our week of discovery concludes, we’d retreat to a tranquil spa nestled amid the city’s vibrant energy. Surrounded by lush gardens and serene pools, we’d find respite and reflect on the myriad experiences that have enriched our souls. This meticulously crafted itinerary, blending the allure of various beaches, spiritual exploration, wholesome nourishment, and cultural delights, encapsulates the essence of our journey – a harmonious fusion of relaxation, enlightenment, and a celebration of life’s multifaceted beauty.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My life’s tapestry is woven with the threads of countless individuals, each playing a pivotal role in my journey. Every encounter, every connection, served as a catalyst for my spiritual evolution, just as I believe my presence impacted theirs. While the list of individuals who’ve touched my life is extensive, I wish to shine a spotlight on a few who have left an indelible mark.

At the genesis of my odyssey, stand my parents. Despite the complexities and differences that colored our interactions, they formed the foundation from which my expedition commenced. Their influence, even through challenges, compelled me to embark on a path of discovery and growth.

Guided by the tapestry of relationships, friends and partners have illuminated my path. Each connection acted as a mirror, reflecting back lessons in self-love, empathy, and the intricate dance of companionship. Through these interactions, I unraveled the layers of love within myself, extending its luminance to others in my orbit.

A symphony of profound lessons continues to flow from the hearts of my children. Their presence, an embodiment of pure joy and unconditional love, has been a wellspring of wisdom. Their unburdened perspectives remind me of life’s simplest pleasures, reaffirming the beauty in each moment. To my children, I owe a debt of gratitude for their timeless teachings.

As my journey unfolds, I remain indebted to a network of souls who’ve walked beside me. Their presence, like stars in the night sky, has guided me through trials and triumphs. Every individual, no matter how brief the encounter, has contributed to the mosaic of my life, shaping my understanding of self and others.
In a world rich with connections, I recognize the profound significance of those who have lent their threads to the tapestry of my existence. Each thread, no matter its hue, has contributed to the masterpiece that is my life’s journey.

One of the books that I would recommends the following:
“Creating a Life That Matters” by Rabbi Manis Friedman is a compelling exploration into the depths of existence and purpose. With profound insight and wisdom, Rabbi Friedman delves into the art of crafting a life of significance and impact. Drawing from his deep well of knowledge rooted in Jewish teachings and mysticism, he guides readers on a transformative journey to uncover their true potential and embrace their unique purpose. The book weaves together timeless principles and contemporary insights, offering a roadmap for navigating the complexities of modern life while staying true to one’s authentic self. Through its pages, readers are invited to reflect on their values, relationships, and aspirations, ultimately empowering them to shape a life that resonates with meaning and fulfillment.

Lastly, I want to acknowledge Gina Ann, who introduced me to ShoutoutLA. Gina is a Medium Psychic, Children’s Book Author, and Actor. Her remarkable ability to connect with both children and adults, guiding them to rediscover their inner child, has been truly transformative. I have gained invaluable insights and knowledge from her.
