We hope the 3 minute movie above inspires you to order the first two volumes of The Beauty Way.
A Journey into the Beautiful Names of God
"Dear ones, I present to you a doorway to the Beloved in the drop of water."
The practice of the Beautiful Names of God appears in many different languages, including Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic. In every spiritual tradition these names represent a vibrational powerhouse of energy. Through the Dances of Universal Peace, I was given the opportunity to explore these names and qualities of the Divine, as they appear in the Sufi tradition in the Arabic language. The journey eventually led to the creation of this book.
Traditionally there are ninety-nine beautiful names, though in reality there are many more! Each of the 3 volumes of The Beauty Way has 33 Names and Mandalas included. All the names are considered to be the attributes of Allah, the One. Each name while having its own vibration, and atmosphere, still finds its home in the name Allah.
Allah, being the Name of Unity, is the universal blueprint of existence, and is greater than the sum of all the individual attributes. As we meditate on these names we discover these Divine reflections in ourselves. As Rumi said, lovers do not find each other, they were in each other all along.
Hazrat Inayat Khan in the Unity of Religious Ideals says that:
All meditation and contemplation are taught with this purpose: to harmonize one's innermost being with God, so that He is seeing, hearing, thinking through us, and our being is a ray of His light.
In the age in which we live in, both science and the mystics are coming into alignment with the understanding that: Life is one, Truth is one and God, the InfiniteReality, is one. In fact if we are indeed all part of this one fabric, then every thought, word, or action of ours, affects to some extent the whole fabric.
Our whole existence is like an embroidery on Unity’s garment. In my youth I was introduced to embroidery as a manifestation of Divine Beauty. Whatever we do that deepens our Connection to The Beloved, the One Infinite Reality, clothed in this fabric of wholeness, increases our capacity to see that we are all part of the holographic whole.
This deepening connection has beneficial effects on our inner and outer world. As we become present to the transformative energies of the wazaif, we discover the eternal qualities of the One, the universal patterns known as archetypes unfolding in our own hearts. For example when a person displaying peace comes into the room, someone might say, "It's wonderful to see a peaceful person. "
However the one who has developed sensitivity to the Divine Names could instead say "Isn't it wonderful to see Divine Peace manifesting through this person.”
Penetrate the heart of just one drop of water,
and you will be flooded by a hundred oceans.

About the books
The experience of Divine Unity and Beauty beckons us to “come Home” and to find rest in the arms of the Beloved. The practice and contemplation of the Beautiful Names of God (wazaif) deepens the understanding of our life purpose. It allows us to view the world through the Divine’s eyes and to hear the world’s cries through the Divine’s ears, all the while experiencing the Beauty that surrounds us.
The mandalas is these books enable us to experience our own personal journey while realising these Divine Qualities or archetypes within ourselves.
The 99 Mandalas and Names are now available as an exquisite 20 min medatative DVD experience.
The DVD comes with a bonus windows Screensaver.
The DVD has a 3 min intro by Zebunissa and then three 7 min sections of the Mandalas and Names.
Each section has a different musical backing. The first three tracks include Zebunissa speaking the Names over the music, and then the three tracks are repeated again without the Names being spoken so that they may take the subtler mental form of being intoned 'on the breath'.
Watching the whole sequence over approx 20 min is a powerful meditation
and attunement to the divine qualities.
The DVD is a great introduction to the Names and a wonderful tool
for anyone who chooses to work with them.
Likewise the windows screensaver is a great way for anyone
to bring a reminder of divinity into their computer.
The transition speed and effects are customisable,
and you can choose whether to play the Names in sequence or at random.
