Music; according to Sufi teaching; is really a small expression of the overwhelming and perfect harmony of the whole universemdash;and that is the secret of its amazing power to move us. The Indian Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882ndash;1927); the first teacher to bring the Islamic mystical tradition to the West; was an accomplished musician himself. His lucid exposition of musics divine nature has become a modern classic; beloved not only by those interested in Sufism but by musicians of all kinds.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A pioneering look at contemplative photography from a Christian perspectiveBy FibonacciWhat a great book. I recently taught a class on photography as a spiritual discipline and had a hard time finding anything written from a Christian perspective. (By contrast; there seems to be an endless supply written from a Zen Buddhist perspective.) Howard Zehr is a distinguished professor of restorative justice at Eastern Mennonite University and he found that his work was so cerebral that he craved something more intuitive. He tried meditation with little success until someone suggested that since he was visually oriented he needed to find a visual form of meditation. He had a longstanding love for photography and suddenly saw that photography and meditation could be the ticket to the kind of meditative process he was looking for. While the book is fairly short; it is packed with great tips on how to duplicate the process in your own life.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Shift your perspectiveBy d DavisZehr guides photographers toward a new relationship with the subject matter of their photography. Bringing awe; gratitude and mindfulness/heartfulness to each photograph can not only create a positive influence on your photos but also on everything you see. Step-by-step suggestions and practices ease the photographer along the path. Highly recommend this little book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
