Tamarkoz: Art & Science of Self-Knowledge

Dear All,

The Writing Center is organizing an information session on Tamarkoz method — known as the Sufi art and science of self-knowledge through meditation and concentration.

The Tamarkoz method is one of the Practical Aspects of Sufism®. Tamarkoz is the way for anyone who wishes to re-cognize their inner abilities and to discover their purpose in life, through a holistic and practical way of recovering and maintaining health, happiness, fulfillment, well-being and discipline in life. The practice has the following five components that are used individually or in combination in Tamarkoz:

• Mind Relaxation,
• Movazeneh (balancing meditative poses harmonized with breath),
• Breathing exercises,
• Deep relaxation,
• Imagery (visualization), and
• Concentration in the heart.

This process cultivates a sense of happiness and fulfillment, enhances an awareness of our body, mind and emotional state and shields us from the strains of a fast-paced life.
