Inge Haeri

(Publisher: Two Bows Books)

'Throughout the journey of my life I have been drawn to the wisdom practices and knowledges that teach us about healing, health and wholeness. For me the whole notion of healing has come to involve the physical, mental and emotional as well as spiritual. In this book I hope to explore with you essential elements of the process of healing from my perspective as a believer in the Oneness of God.' – from the Introduction

The unusual journey of Inge Haeri's life has exposed her to the rich interior world of the human spirit and its wonders and delights, through Islam and Sufism. In the devotional tradition of the 'Kashkool' (Miscellanea), this book is a collection of personal experiences, readings, insight and commentary on the nature of healing the human spirit and keeping it in the best of conditions. Over her lifetime the author has had many encounters with living saints of the Sufi tradition and illuminated teachers from other esoteric traditions, each of which transmitted gifts, insights and blessings. Inge Haeri shares what has touched and influenced her.
