Dear friends,
In our Sufi circles we are used to pray during 40 days after the death of a beloved person to support the soul on her way to the Source. This “Prayer for the Dead” may also be used at the end of a spiritual healing ceremony for a person whose name is on our healing list and who has died. The prayer may be said after the last part of the ceremony. It seems to be very meaningful to the participants of the spiritual healing circle.
“O Thou, the cause and effect of the whole universe, the source from whence we have come and the goal towards which all are bound: receive this soul who is coming to Thee into Thy parental arms. May Thy forgiving glance heal his/her heart. Lift him/her from the denseness of the earth, surround him/her with the Light of Thine own spirit. Raise him/her up to heaven, which is his/her true dwelling place. We pray Thee grant him/her the blessing of Thy most exalted presence. May his/her life upon earth become as a dream to his/her waking soul, and let his/her eyes behold the glorious vision of Thy sunshine. Amen”.
We wish all of you a blessed coming new year. And much inspiration in our beautiful work!
With loving greetings,
