THE PRAYER OF THE HEART IN CHRISTIAN & SUFI MYSTICISM guides the reader through the stages of mystical prayer. Mystical prayer is a way to create a living relationship with the Divine within the heart. Drawing on Christian and Sufi sources such as St. Teresa of Avila, 'Attar, St. John of the Cross and Rumi, as well as from his own experience, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee describes how prayer is first born of need, but then takes one deep within the heart, into the stages of Union and Ecstasy. Through mystical prayer, one is drawn beyond any words into the interior silence of real communion with God. Here, in the silence within the heart, a meeting and merging takes place that carry us beyond our self into the mystery of divine presence, into the secret nature of love’s oneness. THE PRAYER OF THE HEART IN CHRISTIAN & SUFI MYSTICISM explores the inner listening of the heart and the secret of 'pray without ceasing’ in which we discover how prayer becomes alive within the heart. Finally there is a chapter on the need at this time to pray for the Earth. How can we pray for well being of the Earth? How can we include the Earth in our prayers and our heart?This little book is an offering of the heart that brings together the Christian and Sufi mystical traditions in the oneness of love to which they belong. It will benefit any practitioner of prayer, anyone who is drawn to discover a relationship with God within their heart.
