Living Presence
A Sufi Way to Mindfulness & the Essential Self
By Kabir Helminski
Sufism is a centuries-old spiritual psychology leading to presence in life. Presence is our capacity to be whole in the moment, in alignment with our deepest wisdom. With unusual clarity, this book describes how presence is different from ordinary habits of mind, and how it can be developed. Drawing on the words of the great Sufi, Rumi, as well as traditional material and personal experience, this book integrates the wisdom of Sufism with the needs of contemporary life.

Open Secret
Versions of Rumi
By John Moyne and Coleman Barks
“Felicitous new translations of Rumi, the witty and mystical, Villon-like poet… These reflections on love, the dance of selves, happiness, acceptance of life’s sorrows, and the transitory nature of joy are touchingly sensitive in their search for philosophical peace of mind.” — Library Journal
