Sufi Meditations Cards
I've always admired the way Sufis try to pray and love with their whole hearts.
These beautiful Sufi Meditation cards by @joumajnouna creates art using Kufic script as visual meditations around 33 qualities cultivated from Sufi wisdom.
The Meditations are familiar words, such as Generosity, Trust, and Impermanence. But there's also things like Humour and Returning from Distraction. When my mind slows and my heart is soft, I just drink in the image before contemplating the word listed on top/bottom of the cards. For a real treat, open the slim guidebook, who somehow contains quotes and stories (no Rumi in sight) from wise ones to reveal sharp, layered teachings whose lessons will linger.
The geometric patterns and vivid colors don't overwhelm, managing to lift the word(s) hidden in the beautifully arranged Kufic script to new heights on the crisp white background.
How does the form and chosen colors play with your perception of concepts like Introspection and Trust? Go slow, draw daily for lovely results, or add it to your Oracle collection.
The 33 cards are divided loosely in categories instructing How to Be With: life, others, oneself, and the Divine. I suspect there's a lesson in here for any and all who wish to draw a card.
While they originated from a Jan 2019 Kickstarter, you can find the Sufi Meditation cards and more at http://majnouna.com
