The Healing Power of Sound

Volume 4 of the series Dynamics of Healing
A publication of the Inayatiyya Healing Activity

The Sufi Teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, Pir Zia Inayat Khan

Edited by Zaynab Kathleen Fitzpatrick and Devi Tide

What we call music in our everyday language is only a miniature, which our intelligence has grasped from that music or harmony of the whole universe which is working behind everything, and which is the source and origin of nature.

—Hazrat Inayat Khan

This is the first of two volumes focusing on the healing power of sound and its mystical dimensions. As in previous volumes, we draw from the Sufi teachings of Hazrat Pir-o-Mushid Inayat Khan, and his successors, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and Pir Zia Inayat Khan.The Inayati lineage offers a universalist path of spiritual awakening and unfoldment that is particularly meaningful in an increasingly complex world.

Included are simple practices for deepening the understanding of the role of sound in our interface with the whole of creation.
