Outline of Practices and Readings References

Click to View Photo Glimpses

Session 1: The Power of Suggestion In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: From morning till evening we are impressed by suggestions coming to us automatically in different forms. The importance does not lie in receiving suggestions or in rejecting suggestions; it lies in understanding what will benefit us and what will be detrimental.
Play Audio of Session 1 (1:19:30)

Session 2: Assuring Success In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: When a man says, "I cannot," he has made a suggestion to himself, he has weakened his power of accomplishing what he could otherwise have accomplished. To admit to oneself, "I have no force, I have no power, I have no thought, I have no intelligence," only means working against oneself.
Play Audio of Session 2 (1:18:25)

Session 3: Ennobling the Soul In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: The Story of Ayaz is an example of modesty together with suggestion.
Play Audio of Session 3 (1:19:11)

Session 4: Hope, Effort, Belief Faith In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: We are able to do anything if we choose to make the effort. The difficulty is that often we do not choose to make an effort. Why not? Because we do not believe.
