"Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth; the alternation of the day and the night; the ships that sail the sea for the benefit of humanity; the rain sent down by Allah from the skies, reviving the earth after its death; the scattering of all kinds of creatures throughout; the shifting of the winds; and the clouds drifting between the sky and the earth—˹in all of this˺ are surely signs [of Allah’s attributes] for people of understanding."
-- Quran 2: 164
Healing Attunement & Meditation
Connecting with the elements is connecting with our wholeness — our original nature — and the divine. Join us this Ramadan — a time for reflection, introspection, and deepened connection with Allah — for a weekly virtual healing attunement and meditation led by the Inayati Order of Austin, a Sufi lineage of Hazrat Inayat Khan. A guided breath meditation working deeply with the Purification Breaths of Hazrat Inayat Khan, the healing attunement and meditation connects us with the living elements (earth, water, fire, air, and ether), strengthening our connection to Mother Earth as a divine manifestation. The healing attunement and meditation also includes the Buddhist practice of Metta: sending well-being to all beings. It ends with the Healing Prayer. These sessions are deeply healing for the self and the world.
The sessions are led by Paméla Overeynder. For more information about the Inayati Order of Austin, visit: https://towardtheone.com/. To learn more about Hazrat Inayat Khan, visit: Inayatiyya.org.
