Jonas Yunus Atlas

Opis

This little gem beautifully elucidates the flow of our mind, heart and soul during meditation and prayer. It explains how we can guide our inner being to moments of spiritual contemplation.
In a concise and poetic language, Jonas Yunus Atlas clarifies the core aspects of meditation and prayer. He does not discuss their outer forms or technical sides, but reveals their mental forms and deeper spirit. And, while doing so, also rephrases our relationship with the divine.
Many meditation books focus on bodily exercises and physical postures that are needed to open distinct energy channels. The verses in this book, however, describe the different 'spiritual postures' that open the 'channels of the soul' between ourselves and God.

Customer comment on a previous edition
"How beautiful Jonas writes in a clear, down-to-earth way that reminds me very much of the poetry of Sufi mystics. It is absolutely breathtaking, but so concise and easy-to-understand " - Letha Gasway
