As in other mystic traditions, Sufism sees the relationship between the seeker and God as that of lover and beloved. This wise, beautiful book, written by the spiritual successor to Irine Tweedie (Daughter of Fire), describes the inner journey that takes the lover back to the God he refers to as "the beloved".

Sufism, the Transformation of the Heart gives a clear and accessible outline of Sufism: its basic principles, historical background, and recent development in the West. While exploring the spiritual and psychological processes of transformation, this book offers practical guidelines to help the seeker. Sufism, the Transformation of the Heart is a valuable introduction to a dynamic spiritual path that is attracting growing interest in the West.

The first compilation of writings and talks by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee culled from the past two decades, this stirring volume provides an understanding of the feminine for both men and women, describing the central part it must play in the work of global healing and transformation and stressing its redemption in order for Anima Mundi--the soul of the world--to reemerge. Exploring the historical, cultural, and theological insights of the Sacred Feminine as well as practical advice for bringing the feminine principle into consciousness, this examination briefly explores the past patriarchal and matriarchal eras, moving from a historic perspective into addressing the potential of the present day. Explaining how the feminine has a deep understanding of the power of matter, this argument conveys the idea that every woman embodies the sacred substance of creation necessary for life's regeneration within her spiritual center. Maintaining that God's omnipotence and transcendence must be balanced by intimacy and love, this study addresses the need for the balancing of masculinity and femininity in order to birth the next phase of evolution.

Based on live talks and meetings with Vaughan-Lee, this is an introduction to the passion and wisdom of the Sufi path of love. The call of the heart and how it draws us back to divine union is one of mankind's greatest secrets, and for the Sufi, this love is a fire that burns away all traces of separation. Vaughan-Lee teaches how to live this burning and describes stages of the path of love on the soul's journey home.

Love Is a Fire includes descriptions of the "friends of God", early Sufi saints who burned with the fire of divine love, including Rumi, Ibn 'Arabi, and Rabi'a. It also introduces elements of the path and important tools which purify the wayfarer: tauba, the moment of the turning of the heart when the soul remembers its divine origin; dhikr, the central Sufi practice of remembrance of God through repetition of the name of God or a sacred phrase; meditation, a way of drowning thoughts in the fire of love; and dreamwork, a way of listening and attuning to the mystery of what is hidden within us -- the stories of our deeper selves.

In this timely third book in his Spiritual Ecology series, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee continues his exploration of the many facets of interconnection between humanity and the Earth.

Likening Spring to falling in love, Summer with abundance and spiritual awakening, and Autumn with fruition and wisdom, the book continuously reflects the profound resonance of humanity within nature. Never more relevant than now, the chapter on Winter points the reader to what is most essential even as the temporal is stripped away like autumn leaves, providing some assurance that there is meaning and even peace amidst the most devastating losses.

As with other books in this series, Vaughan-Lee places the human story within the story of the Earth helping the reader to rediscover their place within the wider context of our common home and it’s sacred nature.

The heart's relationship to God is one of the greatest mysteries, for He is both far and near, both awesome and intimate. As he looks at this union's many paradoxes,

Describing the heartache, confusion and passionate love that belong to the mystical journey, this series of personal writings explores a central paradox: "what belongs to the individual who makes this journey, and what belongs to God?" This primary question is discussed in detail, drawing from the author's own experiences and the context of the Sufi tradition. The featured passages are personal, heartfelt, and full of the contradictions the author has endured, demonstrating how the Sufi path is lived today within the heart and soul of a contemporary mystic. Delving beneath the surface into the heart of the mystical relationship with God, this intimate memoir illustrates how challenging and rewarding living this love affair can be.

As we evolve, so do our prayers; as our prayers evolve, so do we. This is the evolution of illumination, the collective voice of the soul of the world.

"How Do You Pray?" was born from a vision in which Celeste Yacoboni was told to ask the world, "How Do You Pray?" She reached out to leading spiritual, shamanic, scientific teachers, guides, and activists and asked for their response. Culled from those responses is an original and deeply personal collection of essays. Talking intimately and candidly about how they pray, these personalities encourage the reader to contemplate the intention of prayer in their own life.

This collection speaks to the reader's heart and asks "What is your soul's expression? How do you dance in ecstasy, bare your soul to the divine? Bow in gratitude? Merge with nature? Cry out for guidance? How do you pray?"

This groundbreaking and moving book gathers responses from leaders of diverse spiritual and religious traditions ranging from Buddhism to Islam to Christianity, as well as those who do not claim one or any particular walk of faith. Contributors include Brother David Steindl-Rast, Matthew Fox, James O'Dea, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Tessa Bielecki, Lama Surya Das, Hank Wesselman, Father Bede Griffiths, Byron Katie, Joan Halifax, Normandi Ellis, Andrew Harvey, Dan Millman, Kristena Prater, Nicki Scully, Mirabai Starr, and more.
