Drawing on spiritual teachings rooted in the universal wisdom of Sufism, Sheikh Khaled Bentounes, spiritual guide of the Alawiyya Sufi order, invites us to rediscover the essential dimension of our original nature, which has gradually been obscured by our cultural conditioning.
From a Sufi perspective, therapy of the soul consists of a journey towards the centre of our being through an education that awakens the senses. It enables the human soul to free itself from its instincts, fears and illusory desires. We can then become aware of the precious treasure within us, present since the day God decreed, according to the Qur’anic tradition, that humanity would become His representative (Khalifa) on Earth. By embracing this responsibility, human beings can work in full trust and confidence towards the fulfilment of the divine plan and their own destiny.
Therapy of the Soul challenges many preconceived ideas and invites us to question the very foundations of human nature.
