Love without a Face

'There is a spirituality that cannot be expressed in words, but can be danced.

A wisdom that cannot be taught, but can be contemplated between two heartbeats.'

Discover a journey to the heart of the Sufi tradition, free from dogma and fear, to rediscover the very essence of enlightened Islam: surrender to infinite Love.

In this inspiring and poetic book, Aelia Sophia invites you to:

• Burn, rather than believe - move from the religion of form to the living experience of the Divine.
• Dance in the ruins of the self - embody prayer in movement, like whirling dervishes.
• Taste the sacred intoxication - transcend appearances to perceive the Oneness behind all things.
• Practise Dhikr - use the Divine Names as gateways to pure consciousness.
• Surrender with confidence - live the original "Islam": the peace that comes from letting go.

Halfway between a spiritual guide and a collection of poetry, this book is for anyone seeking authenticity, regardless of their beliefs. It restores the universal dimension of Sufism: a path to liberation, awakening of the heart and reconciliation with Reality.

Included:

• Accessible meditations to embody the teaching in everyday life.
• A 'Map of the Masters' with powerful words from Rumi, Rabia, Hallaj, Ibn Arabi...
• An epilogue in the form of a letter of encouragement to the searching soul.

A book for those who prefer to dance in the fire rather than fall asleep in the forms.
