Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Used/Sufism. Good Condition. Cover has some folds in the corners of the front and back of cover. Pages are clean and crisp. This is a woman's firsthand account of a Sufi halvet, a forty-day retreat conducted in complete isolation, along with strict fasting from sunrise to sundown. Voluntarily confined to a sparsely furnished room amid the bustle of Istanbul, Michaela Özelsel will occupy her time with reading the Qur'an and works of Rumi and Ibn 'Arabi, and with praying and practicing the powerful Sufi exercise known as zhikr, the rhythmic repetition of names of God or other sacred formulas, accompanied by movements of the head or body. In intimate detail Dr. Özelsel shares her experiences as she strives to attain true "Islam" in its meaning of surrender or unconditional acceptance of the will of God. Her daily journal ranges over the frustrations of noisy neighbors, power outages, and a poorly heated room; her inner longings, doubts, and memories of the life course that has brought her to this moment; and the most inspirational philosophical insights, dreams and visions, and ecstatic raptures. The second half of the book is devoted to the author's psychological and cultural commentary on her experiences, including observations about the methods of Sufi schooling, sexuality and spirituality, and the relationship with the spiritual guide. Forty Days is unique in the literature of spiritual education because it is informed by her knowledge of contemporary research from several disciplines, thus creating a bridge between ancient wisdom and scientific investigation.…

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Deutsch | Produktart: Bücher | Jedes Jahr ist die Ka'aba, das ¿Haus Gottes¿ in Mekka, Ziel für Millionen Gläubige. Doch was geschieht dort zur Zeit des Hadsch, der Pilgerfahrt, zu der sich jeder Muslim einmal in seinem Leben aufmachen sollte?Michaela Özelsel, Psychotherapeutin und Sozialwissenschaftlerin deutscher Herkunft sowie Muslima, ging auf eine zwei¬wöchige Pilgerreise nach Mekka. Sie schildert ihre persönlichen Erlebnisse: die Unsicherheit und die Anspannung, aber auch die Vorfreude vor dem Hadsch und die Verwandlung, die diese Reise mit sich bringt. Gemeinsam mit unzäh¬ligen anderen Menschen hat Michaela Özelsel im Vollzug der heiligen Rituale das Gefühl, ¿angekommen¿ zu sein, trotz oder gerade wegen der schwierigen äußeren Umstände ¿ der ständigen Gefahr, im Gedränge Tausender Menschen verletzt zu werden, der kaum erträglichen Hitze und der Schlaflosigkeit. Sich dem zu überlassen, was kommen mag, das schafft Raum für ein unerwartetes Berührt-Werden und eine neue Gelassenheit, die die Autorin mit zurück in ihren Alltag nimmt, wohlwissend, dass ihre spirituelle Reise mit der Landung in Frankfurt nicht zu Ende ist.Der faszinierende Bericht einer Pilgerfahrt im Geiste einer Kul¬tur, die uns nah und doch so fremd ist . und einer Reise ins eigene Innere jenseits der Grenzen religiöser Tradition.…
