Religion:Tawajjuh

From HandWiki

Tawajjuh is a system practiced in sufism for the heart to heart transmission of spiritual energy from a Master to a student.

The Lataif-e-Sitta are the most common forms of this transmitted spiritual energy.

An example of such Latifa transmission by the teacher includes physical touch (except for women) and the disclosure to the student of the specific one of the Names of God in Islam that is associated with the Latifa. The student then continues the practice by silent dhikr of the Divine Name, focusing attention on the Latifa's location; sometimes a visualization of the Name, the corresponding prophet, or the teacher is also added.
