it had dropped from Rumis graceful hand into my heart, much the same way when my publisher offered for me to write the Journey of Love Oracle. I just felt I had to do it. I didnt have a particular reason for feeling that way, but my heart moved when he offered the job to me. Turns out it was me feeling Rumi before I recognised it was him, that this was the pathway for this offering to be born and come to you from my heart dedication to Rumi, in service to the truth of your own soul, beloved. This oracle comes with special guidance for you. You are, or soon will be, seeing with greater clarity and insight, a situation that has been obscured to you in the past. You may be startled by what you perceive, so much so, that you second-guess yourself or chalk it up to wild imagination on your part. You are asked to trust in your perceptions that when they come for the heart – although what you perceive may be darkness – there will be no judgment in it. See what is truthfully there; be in the compassionate nature of your heart, and you shall also be shown the most graceful way to become clear and free of darkness, either within yourself or within others and the world around you.”

Do not plague your heart with falsehoods and expectations of some disembodied perfection! The perfection of your heart is that is loves still, even if you try to stop it with some notion of self-protection from future hurt through doubt or fear – still it loves. It is perfection that it hopes even after despair, that it holds compassion even after experiences of fear. So then, what is there left to do but breathe the grandest sigh of relief and allow yourself the essential luxury of peace within? So then, everything is all right – even if at some moments it seems not to be, still, your heart beats in honour of life. The heart can be nurtured and coaxed into gentle acceptance of all that is and the divine sight will become available to you. Some months after that meditation, I had gone through a huge process on my own spiritual path which I wrote about in Crystal Goddesses 888.1 had reached a point where I felt the need to empty out' my publishing schedule. My publisher was amazingly supportive and trusting of my intuitive instincts on such matters, and happily agreed to cross projects off my list and simply be open to divine guidance on what would be best to attend to next. Say the following aloud: "Rumi, who loves me unconditionally, I call upon your loving grace. Please help me release what I no longer need, what is too small for my great light. Help me recognise the purity of my own being so that I can more easily trust in the divine love calling to me, like an insistent lover, in every moment. I breathe in your compassionate grace now. Thank you, my beloved."What occurred to me after that experience is that I had needed to know that my spiritual connection with him was sufficient, that I could write this work for a place of authenticity and integrity; and he delivered that gift to me in such sweet grace. So when it was time for this project to come to me, I was ready and willing, and self-believing enough to accept it. woman, the teachings of the Sufi mystical path became naturally awakened within me at a deeper and more personal level. I do not claim expertise in the Sufi way at all; only a reverence for the beauty that exists in what I have experienced of it through my conscious soul connection with Rumi and the teachings that he shares, which felt as though they were the very same teachings of my own inner divine feminine nature. My personal sense is that Rumis teachings are those of the heart and will strike a chord and resonate with those of us who are awakening our hearts at this time, to learn to live from a place of wisdom, surrender and service. I had to mature as a woman, in my acceptance of my body and my sensuality and sexuality as a natural part of my greater spiritual life journey, before I could relate to Rumi personally, and 'remember' him again. During that development phase of my life journey as a A short time later, I was scheduled to go to Istanbul, a place that I had long yearned to visit, where I was offering conscious dance sessions to a group of Yoga teachers. During my time in Turkey, I managed to have some quite profound mystical experiences 一 one of the strongest being in an old-fashioned Turkish hammam or bathhouse. I wrote about this in some detail in my book, Crystal Goddesses 888.

So what must you do to receive this divine grace; this new life? You must be willing to face death. It may be that death has come to you in the form of loss of a beloved one, a physical loss that takes you into the darkest despair or depths of your grieving heart. It may be death that comes to you in the ending of a financial or professional situation you once relied upon. It could also be in the sense that you dont really know who you are anymore; old identities having shown themselves to be inadequate, inaccurate, mere ego masks too small for the great being that you are starting to suspect you may be! Repeat the process above but simply say: "I ask for the best guidance for... (the persons name) now.” Continue as above. For Persians, poetry points to much more than a moment eloquently defined. It is one of the most powerful forms of communication and storytelling. It tells our common story weaved through the resilient and encrypted thread of verse. It has kept our spirit alive despite numerous invasions, wars, despotic governments and sanctions. If you have asked a question then say: "I ask for guidance that will answer this issue, or whatever I most need to know at this time, clearly and lovingly. Thank you."As I was reflecting on difficulties of translation, a number of people asked what I thought of popular translations of Rumi’s poems published by white men who don’t speak Persian. I offered this metaphor as a response: Imagine a group of artists depicting a spectacular sunset on the beach. Each resulting painting is a reflection of the artist’s style and skills. Afterwards, someone who was on the beach that day describes the sunset to an artist who has never been to the beach and has never seen a beach sunset. The first group of artists are translators, fluent in both Persian (Farsi) and English. The non-native translator is the artist who has never been to the beach. If you do not have a question, or prefer to simply be open, then say: "I ask for guidance which will serve me best now. Help me to see and understand through the eye of my own heart. Thank you.” I have had some deep challenges in my life, which I speak about in my books, but I have also been given many gifts. Although I was raised as a Catholic, by the time I left high school I was no longer interested in following a religious path, and I chose to explore spiritual paths and leave my previous religious affiliations behind me. I had always been interested in the beauty and diversity of a wide

You can simply say aloud: "From my heart, I ask for the best guidance for me now. I would like help particularly on ... (state the question you have, or if you dont have a specific question or are simply open to receiving whatever you need in trust, then just leave this out). Through unconditional love, thank you.” I was reciting Rumi’s poetry even before I could read or write. But when did my relationship with Rumi begin? To answer this, I first have to delve into the relationship Persians have with poetry. You see, I come from a culture in which poetry is as much a part of a person as her very heartbeat. Poems are used in celebration, in welcoming sorrow and despair and even in resolving conflicts. I a.m calling to you. Can you hear me? Listen. Witbin your heart, there I speak; my voice rings true. You are urged beyond what has been. The time has come. Lay it to rest now. This ending comes as grace to free you from all that you have known, for what you have known is now too smallfor your soul. Bear your uncertainty with equanimity. lam certain enough for both of us. Allow me to show you the light that you are, that burns within you, blazing angel of heavenly purity. I will unveil you to yourself. Undressing your ego, casting aside its layers, as tender as a lover, with unwavering attention upon the sacred body of light. You shall know yourself in truth. As pure, beyond all experience, untainted, ever innocent. As a pure vessel, stripped bare, ready for the divine revelation. As light. As life. As love.Rumi not only understood the power of poetry, but also found the sweet spot of language somewhere between the clinical sterility of political correctness and the vulgarity of fanaticism. He brought the traditional masculine God from the sky and passionately embraced it as his genderless Beloved. He and others like him closed the gap between us and the divine until the Beloved was inside our beating heart. With that, they forever changed the language, making it sensual and transforming the image of a rigid God of fire and brimstone into the story of bittersweet longing and union.
