Notes
The text describes visualizations and affirmations focused on the Subtle Centers of the body via the Islamic Connection Technique of Dhikr. Interestingly, these subtle centers roughly correspond to vedic chakra points.
The text also describes several Connection Outcomes that arise as a consequence of meditating upon the Subtle Centers
Tareen provides a translation of "a major Persian text on Sufi meditation and cosmology: the towering eighteenth century Naqshbandī Indian Sufi master and poet Mirzā Maẓhar Jān-i Jānān’s (d. 1781) Sulūk-i Ṭarīqa (The Conduct of the Sufi Path). Composed in 1760, at the centerpiece of this text is the encounter between the realm of divine reality, prophetic authority, and the practice and conduct of the Sufi practitioner, especially in relation to the journey through the subtle spiritual centers or laṭā’if."
