Here are a few reasons why I got so excited when I saw that ‘MY People’ (email subscribers & blog readers like your good self) voted for the name of my next coaching program to be, “Nafs Mastery”…
- All of our relationship, mindset and spiritual ‘problems’ are manifestations of the nafs (ego) playing its games on us, without us being aware of it
- The essence of all spiritual growth comes down to the extent to which we are aware of (and not falling for) the tricks and traps of our nafs
- “Nafs” is not an English word… but it totally should be! It is perhaps one of the easiest-to-pronounce Arabic words that I hope will one day make its way into the Oxford dictionary
- Mastery is a much more powerful mindset than ‘quick fix’ or ‘rapid results’ and shifts our focus towards life-long dedication to a worthy cause
- Nafs Mastery is a life-long process and the program I’ve created is designed to support you with it over the long term
- Jihad An-Nafs (the struggle against the ego) is universal and required from every person in every time and every place – including you and me, right here, right now.
- All the techniques/ approaches/ mindsets I’ve been teaching for years fit neatly under the title “Nafs Mastery”. Part of our toolkit (or arsenal of spiritual weapons?), include “The Psychological Switch”, “Prophetic Presence” and “The Inner Salam Method”
- One of my all-time most popular teachings is called “The Ultimate Nafs Trap” – which we’ll be spending plenty of time exploring and systematically removing from our minds during the program
- There is an ocean of authentic Islamic literature on the topic of the ‘nafs’ and how to approach mastering it and not fall for its tricks, which will be a delight to draw upon as we go through this journey together
- The Arabic word for “psychology” is literally “ilm an-Nafs” – knowledge of the self/ ego. And that’s what we aim to increase in every single coaching session.
- And perhaps best of all, the moment a spiritual seeker hears the term ‘Nafs Mastery’, we all automatically think: “Yep, definitely want some of that in my life” – which is the hallmark of a great program name. In fact, you can go to my website, check out all my product names and see if they pass this ‘acid-test’.
All in all, I’m super-excited about launching this thing and I hope you are too.
Here are some of the details about what we’ll be including and the place where you can sign up for a discount when it launches:
