First, the intention to want to learn how to listen, then learning how to settle all those nafs demanding attention. Salaam Alaykum, murids, seekers, curious and intereste...

Send us Fan Mail We discuss how important it is to solidify breath and centeredness in the world. We do pick up other people's feelings, as well as having our own.
