Breathe in the heart for a few moments and then click on the button below. The oracle used this sense does not tell the future. Rather it helps one's own intuition to express and reflect back to one's conscious self something of one's state at the moment. The voice sought by the Sufi is one which, as Hazrat Inayat Khan beautifully expressed, 'constantly comes from within.' In this sense, the sayings only help reinforce one's own spirit of guidance.
Full commentary and meditations for each pathway of the heart is found in The Sufi Book of Life.
