The Sufi Healing Order

"The purpose of the Sufi Healing Order is to awaken humanity to a greater realization of the power of the Divine Spirit to heal, thus to bring about a better state of physical, mental and spiritual health, and so to fulfill the law of God. The basic principle of the Sufi Healing Order is that the soul is the Divine Breath: it purifies, revivifies and heals the instrument through which it functions."

Hazrat Inayat Khan


The Healing Order is one of the five concentration activities of the Sufi Order. The Healing Order secretariat describes it as "an international spiritual order dedicated to nurturing and developing the spiritual healing ministry in our time." This is an initiatory path which may be entered with or without initiation in the Sufi Order.
The major activity of the Sufi Healing Order is the Sufi Healing Service, held in Rochester once a month on the third Thursday at 7:30 pm. The Healing Service is a prayer ceremony which prepares participants to share healing energy. The names of those who ask to receive these prayers are read during the ceremony. Names may be submitted only with the permission of the subject. The service is open to Healing Order initiates and to sincere inquirers. The healing service is generally preceeded by readings, discussions and practices relevant to healing and consistent with the overall theme of the classes for the month.
