The Nature Meditations of Inayat Khan

Khidr Braakman

Nature plays an important role in Inayat Khan teachings. He dictated the nature meditations to his secretary Sirdar van Tuyll. For years these meditations were accessible only to a small group of people. 

They are in a specific form: the can be repeated in silence on the breath.

Sentences in normal print are repeated on the in breath.

Sentences in italic print are repeated on the out breath.

For example:

[in breath] Let my spirit reflect, O Beloved,

[out breath] the beauty of Your color and form.
