Breath, the Elements and Healing
Beloved Lord, Almighty God,through the rays of the sun, through
the waves of the air,
through the all pervading life in space,purify and revivify me
and I pray, heal my body, heart and soul.
Amen
In the teachings of Pir o Murshid Inayat Khan, the elements and
the
breath of the elements is given precedence. He says:
The twenty breaths of purification is a kind of air ablution
whichprepares every person going through the spiritual path for
every activitywhich s/he is going to take in daily life, and as
necessary as one'severyday ablution. And by this I can promise you,
that if you will keep upthe prescription of purification regularly
and steadfastly, it will become asa guarantee of your health.
Besides this it prepares to keep your intuitionfactor clear, so as
to think rightly and to act rightly. Therefore spirituallyand
physically both, it is the most valuable prescription for you to
keepup.
In order to be a healer one must allow ones body, emotions,
mind, heartand soul to increase in magnetism/life/light until they
overflow. It is thenatural overflowing of what Murshid called the
love stream or what onemight call a healing presence, that makes
the healer capable.
Pir Zia offered correspondences of the breath and the elements
in a tablein his booklet The Holy Mysteries of the Five Elements.
Thesecorrespondences are from Murshids teaching on Metaphysics. In
the
following practice we will work with these correspondences.

Breathe in and out allowing the breath to breathe itself, a
veryfine/subtle breath.
Breathe inbeing aware of your sight, your hair, the passion of
your soul.
Breathe outallowing peace to emerge into your life.
Now assess how do you feel - what is happening in your mind,
yourheart, your feelings, your soul your spirit, your body.
Feel your feet.
