[quote][blue]the one bit of tasawwuf which i found useful is the recitation of Allah's various names for example reciting 'ya salamo' with deep breathing whilst doing routine exercise instead of counting numbers-; reciting 'ya qawee o' when travelling/driving to your exam/test /competition be it  academic/sport/any-instead of frowning with stress and becoming breathless-[/blue]

[purple]also i found this somehow a 'sufistic'7 mins  exercise quite interesting which i observed in a counselling session given by a uk award winner muslim lady counsellr a few years back where you relax yourself completely and  with closed eyes imagine youself in a nice  clean beautiful environment, imagining all the scenic beauty you wish to, and then washing your heart in clean water from all the impurities gathered so far, watching the water go black with them, finally filling your heart with a bright light coming from Divinity and imagining this light being spread around yourself-also shared by others.[/purple]

[green]however as we hv mentioned at various places in the above discussion that bringing such to general public could cause trouble and confusion if the level of understanding is not kept in mind-as it is utmost imp. to keep such exercises and dhikrs (zikar/rememberance)within set limits-not letting them become the alternatives to the basic pillars of islam and faith-which can easily take the shape of innovation[/green][/quote]
