Sufi Prayer: Self Love, Inner God & Rumi

This is a prayer from Sufi practices. Sufism is the phenomena of mysticism within Islam or the inward dimension of Islam. I was taught it by a wise elder recently and it resonated with me so much I had it printed and created this track for it. I also share 3 quotes from Rumi, perhaps the most famous Sufi. I hope you love this prayer and it brings you joy. I am not a Sufi but I have a deep respect for many different spiritual practices and beliefs which I try to incorporate into my life and teach

Transcript

Welcome to this Sufi prayer.

Sufism is the phenomena of mysticism within Islam,

Or the inward dimension of Islam,

Of which there are many great teachings,

Practices,

Prayers and teachers.

One of those teachers is the great Rumi,

Who many of you will have heard of.

He lived around 800 years ago,

But is still quoted today.

Before we begin our prayer today,

I thought it would be nice to recite some of Rumi's greatest quotes.

Anyone who listens to my meditations knows how much I love quotes.

Yesterday I was clever,

So I wanted to change the world.

Today I am wise,

So I am changing myself.

I love this quote and have resonated with it more and more as I have got older.

Next quote.

What you seek is seeking you.

It seems the law of attraction was understood long before the secret.

And the final Rumi quote I love is most fitting to the Sufi prayer I'd like to share today.

Stop acting so small,

You are the universe in a static motion.

Wonderful quotes.

I will now read the prayer.

It is simple,

Yet incredibly powerful.

It is an ancient prayer of self-love and inner power.

I love myself,

I honour myself,

I kneel to myself,

And I worship myself.

For I know God dwells within me,

As me.

So I now say it two more times,

Just one line at a time,

So you can repeat the words,

Either in your head or out loud with me.

I love myself,

I honour myself,

I kneel to myself,

And I worship myself.

For I know God dwells within me,

As me.

Do it one more time.

I love myself,

I honour myself,

I kneel to myself,

And I worship myself.

For I know God dwells within me,

As me.

I love this prayer so much,

I have printed it onto a canvas at home,

And will teach it to my daughter when she is old enough.

I hope you enjoyed it too.

Have a beautiful day.

Thank you.

Reviews

I appreciate these words from Islam. Thank you for sharing them with us.

I will Always say this prayer as it is really powerful and it resignates to me deep within my consciousness.Thank you for the prayer ,and the bit of clarity about Sufism . I thought since you enjoy Rumi that you will enjoy one of my favorites. " I don't Love you with my heart and mind,I Love you with my soul, In case my mind forgets and my heart stops." -RUMI-
I will continue to listen to your meditations and I truly enjoyed this prayer.... Namaste
