BOOK OF SUFI HEALING

Shaykh Chishti

Among the many topics covered are dietary recommendations of the Prophet, the preparation of herbal formulas, healing with essential oils, illnesses arising at various stages of the soul's evolution, fasting and prayer, talismans, and the "infallible remedy."

CIRCLE OF LOVE £13.99
CIRCLE OF LOVE

Llewellyn Vaughan Lee

“Step out of the circle of time And into the circle of love.” - Rumi The circle of divine love is always present within the heart. The journey of the mystic is to retrace this circle and so experience the oneness that is hidden within us. In THE CIRCLE OF LOVE Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, continuing his work of providing a contemporary understanding of Sufism, draws us into this mystery of the soul. He describes the way of mystical prayer and of listening with the heart. He offers valuable insight into power and the spiritual life: how to use one's power to break free of restrictions and live the joy of one's divine nature. He explores the primordial question of why we so easily forget our origin in God. Finally, THE CIRCLE OF LOVE takes us deep into the mystical secret of being lost in God, to the centre of the circle where the lover merges into the Beloved and the heart's deepest truth is revealed. The Persian saying in the front-cover image is from a poem by Hafîz: “We have not come to this door looking for greatness and glory.”

CRUCIBLE OF LIGHT
Sufi Terms Illuminated
Dr Javad Nurbakhsh

THE CRUCIBLE OF LIGHT provides in a single volume the definitions of more than 150 fundamental Sufi concepts and terms. In the style of his groundbreaking Sufi Symbolism series, Dr Javad Nurbakhsh illustrates each concept and term with examples of usage culled from the classical writings of Persian Sufism, many of which have never before been translated into English. However, in this new work, he introduces each entry with his own clear explanation.

This work is therefore an indispensable tool for any serious study of the writings of the most influential masters of the Sufi tradition, such as Rumi, Hafiz, Ibn Arabi, Bayazid, Ansari and Ruzbihan Baqli and will be a source of joy and inspiration for all lovers of spirituality in general.

DAUGHTER OF FIRE £16.99
DAUGHTER OF FIRE
A Diary of a Spiritual Training With a Sufi Master
Irina Tweedie

Little did Irina Tweedie know that her trip to India in 1959, at the age of fifty-two, would mysteriously lead her to a Sufi Master and set her upon a journey to the "heart of hearts," the Sufi path of realisation. Her teacher's first request of her was to keep a complete diary of her spiritual training - everything, all the difficult parts, even all the doubts. He predicted that one day it would become a book and would benefit people around the world. This diary spans five years, making up an amazing record of spiritual transformation: the agonies, the resistance, the long and frightening bouts with the purifying forces of Kundalini, the perseverance, the movements towards surrender, the longing and, finally, the all-consuming love. From a psychological viewpoint, the diary maps the process of ego dissolution, gradually unveiling the openness and love that reside beneath the surface of the personality. Mrs. Tweedie is the first Western woman to be trained in this ancient yogic lineage. Her story and experience testify that this teaching system can still be powerfully transformative today in our modern world.

IN THE COMPANY OF FRIENDS

Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

A spiritual group forms a sacred and protected space where energy can flow from the inner into the outer world. Weaving together dreams and spiritual stories, IN THE COMPANY OF FRIENDS explores the dynamics of a spiritual group, how it functions as both a protective space and a container of transformative energy. In particular this book looks at the difficulties encountered by a seeker living in the Western world, whose material oriented values are often antagonistic to the inner journey, while at the same time exploring how spiritual groups are the sacred spaces of the future.

INTRODUCTION TO SUFI DOCTRINE

Titus Burckhardt Foreword by William C. Chittick

Titus Burckhardt (1908-1984) was a leading member of the “traditionalist” or “perennialist” school of comparative religious thought, well-known for its espousal of the “transcendent unity of religions.” Burckhardt was also an expert on Islam, Islamic arts and crafts and its spiritual dimension, Sufism. It was his first-hand knowledge of Sufism that qualified him to undertake pioneering and authoritative translations of Sufi classics by renowned authors such as Ibn al-Arabi, Abd al-Karim al-Jili and Mulay al-Arabi ad-Darqawi. Burckhardt's little masterpiece, INTRODUCTION TO SUFI DOCTRINE, first published in French in 1959, is a distillation of the essence of Sufism, presenting its central doctrines and methods to a Western audience in a highly intelligible form.

INTRODUCTION TO SUFISM £15.99
INTRODUCTION TO SUFISM
The Inner Path of Islam
Éric Geoffroy

In this introductory, yet comprehensive book, Éric Geoffroy explains that Sufism is the inner dimension of Islam and has its source in the Koran and in the life and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. Geoffroy discusses how Sufism was formed and how great masters have adapted its initiatic doctrines and practices to changing conditions within the Muslim world. Surveying the history of Sufism, this book covers its earliest days up until our own times and addresses Sufism's uneasy relationship with various forms of fundamentalism. Replete with many sayings from various Sufis throughout the ages, including Ibn Arabi, Rumi, Hallaj and Ghazali, this book uniquely presents Sufism “as it is lived” by highlighting the importance of the spiritual master, the method, rites and conduct in daily life, as well as the role of the feminine in Sufism. This is Dr. Geoffroy's first book to be translated into English in its entirety. Translated and with a Foreword by Roger Gaetani

Sufism and the Christian East
James S Cutsinger

Despite the long and well-known history of conflict between Christians and Muslims their mystical traditions especially in the Christian East and in Sufism have shared for centuries many of the same spiritual methods and goals. These commonalities suggest the possibility for a deeper kind of religious dialogue than is customary in our day a dialogue which seeks to foster what Frithjof Schuon has called inward or esoteric ecumenism and which while respecting the integrity of traditional dogmas and rites calls into play the wisdom which can discern the one sole Truth under the veil of different forms. The purpose of this book the first major publication of its kind is to promote precisely this more inward kind of ecumenical perspective. Contributors include some of the world's leading authorities on Christian and Muslim spirituality including Bishop Kallistos Ware Seyyed Hossein Nasr Huston Smith James Cutsinger Reverend John Chryssavgis William Chittick and Reza Shah-Kazemi. Their essays point to a spiritual heart in which the deeper meaning of Christian and Muslim beliefs and practices come alive and where spiritual pilgrims may discover beyond the level of seemingly contradictory forms an inner commonality with those who follow other paths.

SPIRITUAL PRACTICES OF RUMI
Radical Techniques for Beholding the Divine
Will Johnson

One of the most extraordinary events in the history of Sufism occurred in 1244 when the Sufi poet and mystic Jallaludin Rumi met a wandering seeker named
Shams-i-Tabriz. Upon meeting, the two men immediately went into private retreat together, emerging ninety days later in a transformed condition.

In THE SPIRITUAL PRACTICES OF RUMI, Will Johnson reveals the radical practice that transpired between Rumi and Shams. To put it simply, they sat and gazed into each other's eyes. Because the eyes are portals to the soul, their sustained gazing formed the basis of a devotional practice that opened the doors to a profoundly ecstatic state of divine union. Johnson draws on the poetry and prose of Rumi to unfold his story. He, also, explains how one may embark on the practice of intentional gazing to experience that state of ecstatic divine union shared by Rumi and Shams so many centuries ago.

SUFI DOCTRINE OF RUMI £15.99
SUFI DOCTRINE OF RUMI

William C Chittick

There are now countless books of Rumi's poetry available in English translation and he has become one of the most popular poets of the East. There are however almost no authoritative books readily available for the general reader that provide in clear and accessible language an introduction to the underlying spiritual perspective illuminating Rumi's magical poetry. In this beautifully illustrated work William C. Chittick a leading scholar of Sufism and Rumi opens doors that give us access to the inner sanctum of Rumi's thought. It is one thing to appreciate the intoxicating words of Rumi's poetry-it is another thing to try to understand the incredibly profound ideas behind them. This book is an excellent starting point in that very rewarding quest. This study of Dr. Chittick has the great merit… of approaching the subject [of Rumi's metaphysical doctrines] from a strictly traditional point of view untainted by the modernistic fallacies which have colored most of the other studies devoted so far to this subject in Western languages.…[Rumi] remains to this day a strong living influence in Persian and Turkish cultures and is now becoming a source of spiritual nourishment for seekers the world over. May the message of Rumi serve as a beacon of light to dispel the shadows which prevent modern man from seeing even his own image in its true form and from knowing who he really is. - Seyyed Hossein Nasr (from the foreword).

SUFI MEN

Dr Javad Nurbakhsh

SUFI MEN is a collection of more than 160 biographies of Sufi men from the past eleven centuries, written to complement Dr Javad Nurbakhsh's previously much-acclaimed Sufi Women. This biography collection genre is best known in English through the example of The Memorial of the Saints, which was compiled by the Sufi author Fariduddin Attar in the early thirteenth century. However, Dr Nurbakhsh, the most recent exponent of Persian Sufism and Sufi literature in all its genres, offers here his own selection of Sufis from the eighth to the nineteenth century, with the most significant biographical material related to them. It, therefore, contains many anecdotes, poems and aphorisms which are translated here from the original Arabic and Persian into English for the first time.  In addition to the celebrated early figures, SUFI MEN includes biographies of well-known masters, such as Rumi, Ibn Arabi, Shabistari, Amir Khusraw, Shah Nimatullah and Jami.

SUFI RAPPER
The Spiritual Journey of Abd Al Malik
Abd Al Malik

As a poor black resident in one of the notorious French banlieus (the ghettos surrounding French cities), Abd Al Malik had every chance of meeting the same fate as many of his peers: drug addiction, prison and/or an early grave. Despite his early involvement in the endemic crime that was routine in his neighbourhood, his keen intelligence won him admission to some of the most prestigious schools in Strasbourg. His dual life as student/pick-pocket ended when he converted to Islam, where again his intellect and sensitivity prevented him from entering the hate-filled spiral promoted by the fundamentalists. His distaste for the hatred they preached in the madrassas and his love of music led him to Moroccan Sufi master Sidi Hamza al-Qadiri al-Butchichi, whose message of universal love and joy now animates the rap songs of this prize-winning composer and performer. As the singer says in his 'Ode To Love': “Love the other whatever the cost and direct the struggle against yourself The treasure of the just is buried within my chest If there is enough for one, let's share it, there is enough for all.” · Explains how the luminous message of love in Sufism now animates Malik's music · Offers an intimate look at life in the ghettos and madrassas of the poorest neighbourhoods in Europe
