Say the following aloud: "Rumi, who loves me unconditionally, I call upon your loving grace. Please help me release what I no longer need, what is too small for my great light. Help me recognise the purity of my own being so that I can more easily trust in the divine love calling to me, like an insistent lover, in every moment. I breathe in your compassionate grace now. Thank you, my beloved."I was reciting Rumi’s poetry even before I could read or write. But when did my relationship with Rumi begin? To answer this, I first have to delve into the relationship Persians have with poetry. You see, I come from a culture in which poetry is as much a part of a person as her very heartbeat. Poems are used in celebration, in welcoming sorrow and despair and even in resolving conflicts. Just as it is challenging to paint a sunset based on someone else’s description, it is difficult to depict layers of meaning in Rumi’s work. I have loved Rumi for a long, long time 一 long before I had any idea of who he was in human terms. To be perfectly honest with you, he is still very much a mystery to me in terms of his human self Yet, at a soul level, he is known to me so well, and I to him. From the first moment I read his poems, many, many years ago, I felt as though he was speaking a sacred language that I could understand with my heart rather than my mind. It was at times intoxicating, but at other times quite confounding! I could feel but not always mentally understand what he was getting at. which contained seventy art images and poems. My publisher said he would send me his copy of the book and that I could write the messages from that.

Rumi not only understood the power of poetry, but also found the sweet spot of language somewhere between the clinical sterility of political correctness and the vulgarity of fanaticism. He brought the traditional masculine God from the sky and passionately embraced it as his genderless Beloved. He and others like him closed the gap between us and the divine until the Beloved was inside our beating heart. With that, they forever changed the language, making it sensual and transforming the image of a rigid God of fire and brimstone into the story of bittersweet longing and union. A short time later, I was scheduled to go to Istanbul, a place that I had long yearned to visit, where I was offering conscious dance sessions to a group of Yoga teachers. During my time in Turkey, I managed to have some quite profound mystical experiences 一 one of the strongest being in an old-fashioned Turkish hammam or bathhouse. I wrote about this in some detail in my book, Crystal Goddesses 888.If you have asked a question then say: "I ask for guidance that will answer this issue, or whatever I most need to know at this time, clearly and lovingly. Thank you." For Persians, poetry points to much more than a moment eloquently defined. It is one of the most powerful forms of communication and storytelling. It tells our common story weaved through the resilient and encrypted thread of verse. It has kept our spirit alive despite numerous invasions, wars, despotic governments and sanctions. The words of poets like Hafez, Saadi, Ferdowsi and Rumi have been passed on from generation to generation and I cannot recall a time when they were not part of me. So in all honesty, I would have to say my relationship with Rumi began long before I was born. And in that I am not alone. I had played with the idea of writing a Rumi oracle for some time, but not being a translator of his poetry, and not having yet found the right artwork for it, I was uncertain about how to proceed. Apart from those practical matters, deep within my heart I felt so much reverence for this being - as I do for all the holy ones in their various guises. I also held some moments of uncertainty about whether I was up to the task of delivering something that would truly honour his legacy. Rumi means so much to me; I wanted to be sure I was the right one for this task!

Rumi has a heart so open that the world he loves so passionately can easily be held within it. He will not turn away from any genuine request for help, for connection to him, for his assistance in knowing So rise up now from your doubts and admonishments, and let your human self be loved. Even for all the doubt, you are still a cherished one of the Great Beloved and always shall be.” In my personal journey, I learned to relate to different faces of the Divine as I grew 一 the gentle face of the Divine, the wild face, the powerful face and more. As I became able to accept more of my own self and of life unconditionally, I would meet and connect meaningfully with more and more aspects of divinity. Some months after that meditation, I had gone through a huge process on my own spiritual path which I wrote about in Crystal Goddesses 888.1 had reached a point where I felt the need to empty out' my publishing schedule. My publisher was amazingly supportive and trusting of my intuitive instincts on such matters, and happily agreed to cross projects off my list and simply be open to divine guidance on what would be best to attend to next. In Istanbul, I witnessed the old and the new, and I felt as if Rumi was holding all the roiling, intense, ancient and modern clash of energy of that extraordinary, potent and intriguing place in the palm of his hand. I felt him there somehow, subtle but pervasive. My meditations became far more of an erotic experience of the Divine than ever before. I could feel the feminine softness and sensuality of my body and the potent, fierce masculine energy of my spirit combined. It was remarkable how the spiritual and sexual energies of my being became as one. I felt it strongly in my Turkish bathhouse experience, where time seemed to stand still and the Divine revealed itself in such sensual glory, filling my body and soul with gentle, unbreakable love. I felt it in the dances of the Whirling Dervishes that were so sublime. As I watched them spin in a heart-centred trance of their own inner connection to the Divine, made manifest through their dance, tears flowed down my cheeks and I just felt love.

Keeping your hands resting on your heart, at the centre of your chest, simply breathe in and out, gently and easily. Focus on the feeling of your hands on your chest. Do this for as long as feels good for you. woman, the teachings of the Sufi mystical path became naturally awakened within me at a deeper and more personal level. I do not claim expertise in the Sufi way at all; only a reverence for the beauty that exists in what I have experienced of it through my conscious soul connection with Rumi and the teachings that he shares, which felt as though they were the very same teachings of my own inner divine feminine nature. My personal sense is that Rumis teachings are those of the heart and will strike a chord and resonate with those of us who are awakening our hearts at this time, to learn to live from a place of wisdom, surrender and service. This oracle comes with special guidance for you. You are, or soon will be, seeing with greater clarity and insight, a situation that has been obscured to you in the past. You may be startled by what you perceive, so much so, that you second-guess yourself or chalk it up to wild imagination on your part. You are asked to trust in your perceptions that when they come for the heart – although what you perceive may be darkness – there will be no judgment in it. See what is truthfully there; be in the compassionate nature of your heart, and you shall also be shown the most graceful way to become clear and free of darkness, either within yourself or within others and the world around you.”
