#26 Using VISUALISATION for Spiritual Growth – (based on Purification of the Heart by Sh Hamza Yusuf)
The Optimized Muslim Podcast - Self Development For The MuslimShow Notes
You may have heard about visualising or “the law of attraction” in the context of pursuing “success” in the worldly life. In this video, I talk about how this technique can be used as part of a spiritual practice to help us to become better Muslims. It is part of a larger message – that we take practical steps to improve our faith. I came across visualisation being used in the Islamic context whilst reading Sheikh Hamza Yusuf’s Purification of the Heart.
“If athletes include as part of their training the visualisation of their sport and mentally picturing themselves going through all of the steps required for success, how can then believers fail to visualise what is more important and consequential than sport. People of spiritual elevation prepare themselves psychologically for the ultimate journey.”
