snowymountains Posted February 26 I recently came across the info that Sufis have their own form of journeying, to the realm of "Alam al-Mithal". Henry Corbin, an academic, has written books and articles about this form of journeying. What is a good practice guide for this type of journeying?, for someone who is not new to journeying in general but is not familiar with this Sufi journeying practice (and has no access to a Sufi teacher either) ?

Jon Posted August 11 To practice this type of journeying, you first need to start with the basics of Sufism. In his book ‘Purification of the Mind’, the great Sufi saint Abdul Qadir Gilani says… You must keep to the fast and perform the five daily prayers at their prescribed times. So, to begin with, you should start by learning this method of prayer – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9xiHEexbqs Sufis are Muslims; they practice the five pillars of Islam, which include fasting. This is a powerful method of transforming the body and soul - https://sufi-tavern.com/sufi-doctrine/fasting-in-ramadan/ You could also repeat one of the mantras of remembrance ‘La ilaha illAllah’ (There is nothing worthy of worship, except God) a minimum of 166 times after each prayer, or at any time during the day - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysQoihAK-TE These practices are the beginnings of the journey into Sufism. Mystical experiences (such as Alam al-Mithal) may come later depending on your dedication and faith. Contact the various Sufi organizations that are online to find a teacher in your area. They will be able to show you how to perform the rituals correctly. God willing, this will help you on your journey. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
