Pir Shabda Kahn – The Mystical Power of Sufi Breathwork, Mantras & Sacred Sounds
Description:
Cultivate daily breath, rhythm, and mantra practices to find your true essence of inner light and access your happiness baseline.
Did you know you have a gift within you to access happiness as your baseline — no matter what circumstances you’re facing?
What if happiness has nothing to do with the outer world changing, and everything to do with your own transformation?
What if you could maintain a foundation of happiness, even amidst the anxiety and danger swirling around the outside world?
According to Pir Shabda Kahn — devoted disciple of Sufism for more than 50 years, teacher, performer, and spiritual director of Sufi Ruhaniat International — happiness is having access to your extraordinary inner light…
… your essence, in other words, and a profound knowing that you’re part of the Oneness of the universe.
We’re at a moment in history when most of us are isolated… from each other and from the things we do to feel fulfilled throughout our days — our sense of purpose.
We’re being called to understand that our sacred purpose is not in the things we DO, but in merging with the ocean… with all that is.
So, how can you achieve that?
Sufi practitioners have demonstrated for centuries that when you incorporate breathwork and intention into your daily life, your entire inner life starts to have meaning, and your field fills with blessings…
… because breath is life — and absolutely essential to the health and vitality of your body on your journey to fulfilling your divine purpose.
In this deeply transformative 7-week journey with Pir Shabda, you’ll discover a beautifully curated array of Sufi breathwork practices, mantras, and sound medicine to help you experience yourself as One with everything…. and cultivate ever-increasing strength, ease, courage, and happiness.
You’ll experience, for example, the sound healing practice of placing a sacred sound on the breath. As you’ll discover, these sacred sounds (mostly in the root languages of Sanskrit, Tibetan, Aramaic, Arabic, and Hebrew) are immensely transformative when chanted with an open heart.
— Rumi
During this intimate journey, you’ll:
- Find inner peace and resilient vitality through Sufi breathwork and healing mantras
- Practice Fikr, a guided ryazat (spiritual exercise), and start to cultivate a daily breath and rhythm practice of your own

Proper breathing is especially important in uncertain times like these, when so many of us feel anxious, helpless, frustrated, and lonely…
When we experience disturbing emotions, the flow of our breath is interrupted, disorganizing our thoughts, taxing our strength and inner will, and stealing our peace.
With more tumultuous events unfolding by the day, creating a rhythmic breath practice can be the doorway to freedom and resilience.
Through Pir Shabda’s mystic wisdom and transformative practices, you can learn how to enjoy life and be of benefit to the world, even as you’re sheltering in place.
This training invites you to be passionate about the ultimate goal — limitless freedom — in every moment… a happiness and freedom not based on desired outcomes.
At this time of uncertainty, it’s so important to cultivate equanimity with everything that arises.

More information about Medical:
Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.
Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and philosophical beliefs of local culture.
For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice.
The knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
