The fundamental principles of Sufi healing and health, with updates for a modern audience.
This volume contains Hazrat Inayat Khan's most significant teachings on the health and healing of the physical body and the mind. Inayat Khan tells us that the purification of the body leads to the purification of the breath, the purification of the breath leads to the purification of the mind, and the purification of the mind leads to the purification of the heart. This volume discusses all four stages, with a primary focus on the purification of the mind. There are also extensive lectures on the subjects of health and healing, lectures that anticipate the findings of contemporary mind-body medicine. Together, the collected teachings in this volume provide a full picture of the fundamental principles of Sufi healing.
