What is Sufism?

Sufism is the path of knowing God through your heart.  Sufis believe that every human being, in the essence of their heart, carries the Light of God and lives in direct experience of Oneness with God.

Through life experiences, this perception gets veiled as we create our own beliefs about the world and about God.  The Sufi way, through the help of Sufi healings, is to identify and remove the illusions within us, enabling us to realize the true Divine nature of ourselves.

The word Sufism is believed to originate with the Arabic word “saffa” which means purity.  Sufism is the science of how to purify the heart, a teaching brought by all the Prophets (peace be upon them), each of whom carried the same message.  This is the message of love, mercy, peace, justice and freedom for all people without separation.

The Sufis follow the prophets because they carry the highest teachings given to humanity.  It is through these teachings that we can have a living, interactive, intimate relationship with the Divine.
