Sufi muslim to understand healing

Recommended Posts

As salam alaikum, I am sunni muslim of a sufi tariqa, and I have entered in the list as I am seeking information about acupuncture or qigong teachings for healing and the perspective of how and to what limit can a muslim benefit from that healing doctrinal background as expounded for example in taoism without leaving at all siratal mustaqim and orthodox Islam. I hope to hear from members that can provide me useful insights on it. Particularly I have been reading some comments from a member Isimsiz Biri. As salam alaikum to all.

Greetings and peace to you. One interesting aspect within some taoists practices is 'bone breathing' meditations. Where you visually move through the bone structure and lighting up each bone. Its not about the skeleton per se, rather I think attention is .. stimulating. Beyond structure bones are living, they produce our blood, especially our white blood cells.

 

A good example is Chi Nei Tsang's Bone Dreaming meditation - (near bottom) http://www.chineitsang.com/books-and-media/ which takes its time slowly (50 minutes) lighting up the skeletal system. Its also incorporated into a few other systems. Its an interesting approach to health, starting from the bones out.

 

A practice like the bone breathing meditation shouldn't cross any religious lines. Its working with your own body, no external forces.

 

 

When I think Sufi, I think exuberant spinning. A couple eastern arts have practices that cause the body to vibrate, it'd be interesting to know about the physical and spiritual benefits of spin.

 

Yours

Michael
