Guided Meditation Series for Mental UntanglingGuided Meditation - Day 26 What does wholeness mean to you?Today's incantation of "At-theem" means The One Who is greatest, mightiest, grandest and above all He has absolute greatness in both his attributes and self. All His actions are Perfect. He is the one deserving the attributes of exaltment, glory and purity from all imperfection. His Might and Grandeur is surely beyond our grasp.
The spiritual path wrecks the body;
but afterward restores it to health:
it destroys the house to unearth the treasure,
then with that treasure builds it better than before.

We, human beings, of past, present and future, are in absolute need of Divine grace and the opportunity to earn His pleasure. Our human power — no matter how great — can’t give us immortality and eternal bliss. With or without our consent, we are heading to the clutches of death. But as we all know, death is not the end. Death is simply the start of a journey from this world to the Divine presence. To God is our ultimate return and on the...

Guided Meditation Series for Mental UntanglingGuided Meditation Series Mental Untangling- Unique- Day 24Oneness, whether relative or absolute, is an attribute that defines the uniqueness of the entity that possesses it. While relative oneness can be possessed by anything unique in any respect, absolute oneness is a feature of Divinity alone. Oneness can be, at times, as profound a concept as the enigmatic concepts of Infinity and Zero. The prime number ‘One’ can actually be intriguing enough to put the most competent of human minds to the most formidable of challenges.The Qur’an introduces us to two special attributive names of God that relate specifically to God’s absolute oneness. These names ar...

Today, of course, a lot of people are struggling with all sorts of things; gender identity, sexual identities, you know things like that, that can also lead to all sorts of problems in people where they don't feel like they're living who they are and when people don't live who they are they also get very depressed. The second thing I have found is that people have core energy. In spiritual circles we call it Kundalini. Freud called it sexual. There are different ways...

In recent years, spirituality has been an area of research in neurosciences and both in the understanding of psychiatric morbidity and extending therapeutic interventions it seems to be full of promises.

There is no one or nothing like Him and He was, is and will forever be the unequaled amid indivisible Only One. We call God “Allah” because there is no gender implied in this Arabic appellation. Allah can have no gender because that would be a limiting factor, and Allah can have no limits. We believe that God is omniscient, omnipotent, and is the uncaused Cause of all creation. Allah is without limit in every dimension, infinitely and eternally, the formless Creator of all forms. Allah is neit...

Who are we and what are we doing here? The Sufi path offers a journey toward truth, to a knowledge that transcends our mundane concerns, selfish desires, and fears. We find a wisdom that brings peace and a relationship with God that nurtures the best in us and in others. Universal or Perfect Man (al-insān al-Kāmil) is the prototype of both the microcosm and the macrocosm, the human being and the cosmos. Th...

Yet beneath the seeming differences lies a pool of universal truth. Oneness collects these beliefs together in one volume, in the actual words of each religion’s scriptures. These universal principles—The Golden Rule . . . Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother . . . Heaven Is Within . . . As We Sow, We Shall Reap . . . Judge Not . . .

Guided Meditation Series for Mental UntanglingGuided Meditation -Series Mental Untangling- Bestower Day 18Because God created a power of perception in man, unless man seeks knowledge, he will be degraded from his level of humanity to a level that does not suit him. Therefore, if you want the world, you must seek knowledge, and if you want the afterlife, you must seek knowledge as well.
Think of the last time someone gave you a gift—how did you feel? A feeling of joy, love, of being special to the person from whom you received the gift, and sometimes a bit of shame if you feel you didn’t deserve it. Beca...

Guided Meditation Series for Mental UntanglingGuided Meditation Series Mental Untangling- Day 17 PEACEPeace is a quality of the soul. And like all real spiritual qualities, peace is not achieved or earned by our efforts. It is given through grace, like the peace Christ promised his disciples: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world giveth give I unto you.”
Because our culture has lost an understanding of the ways of grace, we tend to identify peace with effort. Most of us struggle for peace, thinking we can attain it through striving. Outwardly we seek peace through the resolution of conflict. Inwardly, too, we hope...

Viktor Frankl, a holocaust survivor of an Auschwitz concentration camp outlines the meaning-based psychotherapeutic approach that helped him and others cope with the horrors they experienced in his book, Man’s Search for Meaning.The realization of truth and development of virtue is the method by which a person perseveres through hardship and finds meaning in it. The Islāmic stories of resilience in the face of adversity capture this reality. When Prophet Yūnus (as) was thro...

Guided Meditation Series for Mental UntanglingGuided Meditation Series Mental Untangling- Day 15 FocusThe concept of Latif became increasingly refined and complex and was used to explain psychological and spiritual progress of the spiritual aspirant toward annihilation (fanna) or subsistence (baqd) in the Divine Essence. Lattif's have been translated by "subtlety," "tenuous body," "subtle point," or "subtle essence." I prefer to refer to them as "subtle spiritual centers.” although the concept of "center"is not necessarily to be understood from the term itself. Although some of the are sometimes described as being located in specific areas of the body (liver, heart, or mind), they are not to be understood as identical wi...

Guided Meditation Series for Mental UntanglingGuided Meditation Series Mental Untangling- Day 14 REVERENCEAlthough spiritual realities do not find a place in the explanatory scheme of modern science, they nevertheless play a significant role in the everyday life of people. Some spiritual paths are very focused on the mind, with practices aimed to clear the mental state, tame thoughts and attain a calm equilibrium. These cooling, meditative practices bring equanimity, tranquility, and clarity of mind. Rumi translator, and well-known spiritual teacher, scholar, and mystic, Andrew Harvey, describes the Sufi path like this: It is a way to the heart of hearts, to the utmost direct intense experience of one’s sacred id...

Guided Meditation Series for Mental UntanglingGuided Meditation Series Mental Untangling- Day 13 SELFLESSNESSIn considering how the human being can embody both self and selflessness, let’s begin with a metaphysical perspective on the position that human consciousness occupies in cosmic existence. The human consciousness is a presence suspended between the Divine Absolute and a Cosmic-Life-Force that is associated with our intention, thoughts, and feelings. That’s a mouthful, I know. God is sufficient in the sense that when “I” am embracing what is, being grateful by seeing its inherent value, placing complete trust in the Divine Intelligence and the Life Force that serves it, then that Infinite Intelligence will do the appr...

Charity is not just a great humanitarian deed; it also speaks volumes about the person giving. Nobody would argue when we say charity is one of the greatest virtues of mankind. Almost every religion encourages people to give charity, and the reason behind the instruction is the same; to help people who are poor, needy, disabled or suffering from dire circumstances beyond their control. charity is the true path to happiness and peace.

Guided Meditation Series for Mental UntanglingGuided Meditation Series Mental Untangling- Day 11 CLEANLINESSThe goal of all mysticism is to cleanse the heart, to educate, or transform, the self, and to find Almighty. The lowest level of the self is dominated by pride, egotism, and totally self-centered greed and lust. This level is the part within each person that leads away from Truth. The highest level is the pure self, and at this level there is no duality, no separation from Almighty.
The self is actually a living process rather than a static structure in the psyche. The self is not a thing. The Arabic term is related to words for "...

The human body naturally has seven main energy points, usually referred to as chakras. All of these energy points are arranged in a line along the spine, each of which is associated with a different purpose varying from one’s sexual relations to emotional attachments to intellectual affairs. Humans can harness positive or negative energy from these points, depending entirely on their actions and habits. Luckily for Believers, the actions...

The mercy and love of Almighty is far beyond the need that the blood of innocence, or the blood of Muhammed, Jesus or Abraham (peace be upon them) should be shed for the salvation of anyone.
Almighty loves to pardon and none can question him. A mother always judges her infant child to be innocent. God's mercy exceeds the mercy of a mother, God loves his creation.

Therapists have sought to achieve health, cure diseases and reduce patient’s pain. Different civilizations, based on their own epistemology, philosophy approach and Knowledge, performed various therapeutic meth- ods including: classical and non-medical treatments. Classical medicine does not have a healing version for some of the human health threats. Complementary medicine such as: prayer and faith therapy are the options when classical treatments fail or become unbearable due to adverse effects.

Significance in life doesn’t come from status, because you can always find somebody who’s got more than you. It doesn’t come from salary. It comes from humility, submission and service. It is in giving our lives away that we find meaning, we find significance. That’s the way we were wired by God.
In serving mankind look at what’s in your hand, what you have been bestowed with — your identity, your influence, your wealth — It’s about making the world a better place.

Guided Meditation Series for Mental UntanglingGuided Meditation Series Mental Untangling- Day 4 ThankfulThe feeling of gratitude activates the brain stem region that produces dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, or chemical, responsible for transferring signals between nerve cells in the brain. There is evidence to suggest that too little dopamine can cause depression, insomnia, mood swings, and lack of motivation, among other undesirable effects.
Gratitude boosts the production of dopamine, and increasing dopamine elicits feelings pleasure. It also plays a role in other areas such as memory, movement and motivation. Dopamine makes us feel good and plays a role in initiating action. Increased dopamine makes you want to...

Guided Meditation Series for Mental UntanglingGuided Meditation Series Mental Untangling - Day 3 ReflectionPraying, fasting or paying alms to the poor. These are religious practices that a lot of religious people do. However, it would be wrong to assume that simply carrying out these practices is the sole purpose of the life of a believing person. All the things that people do serve a higher purpose, namely allowing spiritual growth and developing closeness to our Creator.
In Islam, this is the point where one can refer to ‘Islamic Mysticism’ or ‘Sufism’. Sufism is a way of understanding religion rather than a ‘sect’ or a distinct way of thought belonging to a restricted g...

But regardless of the issue, there is one emotion that I’ve noticed threads through almost every struggle with the other: Incessant GUILT.
The guilt of these individuals is rooted in another belief: their inability to forgive themselves for what they did or are still struggling with doing. This is heightened by the fact that many of their families have conditioned them to feel guilty for possibly bringing shame and dishonor to themse...
