Pir Shabda Kahn – The Mystical Power of Sufi Breathwork, Mantras & Sacred Sounds 2022
Cultivate daily breath, rhythm, and mantra practices to find your true essence of inner light and access your happiness baseline.
Did you know you have a gift within you to access happiness as your baseline — no matter what circumstances you’re facing?
What if happiness has nothing to do with the outer world changing, and everything to do with your own transformation?
What if you could maintain a foundation of happiness, even amidst the anxiety and danger swirling around the outside world?
According to Pir Shabda Kahn — devoted disciple of Sufism for more than 50 years, teacher, performer, and spiritual director of Sufi Ruhaniat International — happiness is having access to your extraordinary inner light…
… your essence, in other words, and a profound knowing that you’re part of the Oneness of the universe.
We’re at a moment in history when most of us are isolated… from each other and from the things we do to feel fulfilled throughout our days — our sense of purpose.
We’re being called to understand that our sacred purpose is not in the things we DO, but in merging with the ocean… with all that is.
So, how can you achieve that?
Sufi practitioners have demonstrated for centuries that when you incorporate breathwork and intention into your daily life, your entire inner life starts to have meaning, and your field fills with blessings…
… because breath is life — and absolutely essential to the health and vitality of your body on your journey to fulfilling your divine purpose.
In this deeply transformative 7-week journey with Pir Shabda, you’ll discover a beautifully curated array of Sufi breathwork practices, mantras, and sound medicine to help you experience yourself as One with everything…. and cultivate ever-increasing strength, ease, courage, and happiness.
You’ll experience, for example, the sound healing practice of placing a sacred sound on the breath. As you’ll discover, these sacred sounds (mostly in the root languages of Sanskrit, Tibetan, Aramaic, Arabic, and Hebrew) are immensely transformative when chanted with an open heart.
— Rumi
During this intimate journey, you’ll:
- Find inner peace and resilient vitality through Sufi breathwork and healing mantras
- Practice Fikr, a guided ryazat (spiritual exercise), and start to cultivate a daily breath and rhythm practice of your own
- Discover the roots of Sufi mysticism
- Understand how mysticism is based on direct experience, rather than philosophy
- Realize why the challenges and struggles of life are really your greatest teachers for transformation
- Practice refined rhythmic breathing as a source of healing
- Be guided through the applicable lessons from Sufi mystics about keeping calm — even while experiencing this destabilizing pandemic
- Find comfort in knowing your breath goes on rhythmically whether you’re asleep or awake, keeping all pulsations in rhythm — and why your whole-body health depends on it
- Practice Fikr, a guided ryazat (spiritual exercise), and start to cultivate a daily breath and rhythm practice of your own
- Explore the paradox of living with passion and being at ease with whatever arises
- Access ancient sound technologies in integrity with experiential spiritual lineages
- Explore the essential process of transcending your limited self (ego) so you can merge with the greater Self — the divine presence
- Learn to practice the path of the lover and the Beloved
Proper breathing is especially important in uncertain times like these, when so many of us feel anxious, helpless, frustrated, and lonely…
When we experience disturbing emotions, the flow of our breath is interrupted, disorganizing our thoughts, taxing our strength and inner will, and stealing our peace.
With more tumultuous events unfolding by the day, creating a rhythmic breath practice can be the doorway to freedom and resilience.
Through Pir Shabda’s mystic wisdom and transformative practices, you can learn how to enjoy life and be of benefit to the world, even as you’re sheltering in place.
This training invites you to be passionate about the ultimate goal — limitless freedom — in every moment… a happiness and freedom not based on desired outcomes.
At this time of uncertainty, it’s so important to cultivate equanimity with everything that arises.

About Pir Shabda Kahn
Pir Shabda Kahn has been a disciple of Sufism since 1969. He is a direct disciple of Murshid Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti), and he worked closely with the great American mystic Joe Miller. Pir Shabda is currently the Pir (spiritual director) of the Sufi Ruhaniat International and the director of the Chisti Sabri School of Music.
After living in a community with Baba Ram Dass on the East Coast, Pir Shabda met Murshid Sam and moved to San Francisco in 1969. In the fall of 1970, Pir Shabda had the good fortune to travel with Murshid Sam for five weeks as his personal assistant on the East Coast, which helped deepen his relationship with his teacher and the Path. He received his spiritual name from Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan in 1971, after Murshid Sam’s passing.
In 1972, Pir Shabda was initiated by Pandit Pran Nath, the Master North Indian classical vocalist, and began the daily practice of Raga singing in the Kirana style. Pandit Pran Nath, a Sufi mystic, requested that Pir Shabda carry on the 800-year-old oral transmission under the name of the Chisti Sabri School of Music, now an umbrella for teaching vocal music and performing Raga.
In 1984, Pir Shabda became a disciple of the illustrious 12th Tai Situpa Rinpoche, a venerated Tibetan Buddhist incarnate lama of the Kagyu Lineage.
Pir Shabda has appeared as a musician in concerts, including Visions for a Perfect World at New York’s St. John the Divine Cathedral. He has also performed for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, for New Music America in Chicago, at Delhi University Music School, and at Shivaratri Festival in New Delhi. He is one of a handful of Americans who have dedicated themselves to carrying on the legacy of the treasure of North Indian classical vocal music.
Pir Shabda married his wife Tamam in 1976, and they made their home in San Rafael, California. They have a son and daughter-in-law, two young granddaughters, and many godchildren.
As Pir of the Sufi Ruhaniat International, Pir Shabda directs the Jamiat Khas (the Ruhaniat leader circle), directs the SRI Board of Trustees, and is the spiritual director for the Dances of Universal Peace worldwide. He has a regular zikr meeting in Marin County, California, and travels the world throughout the year spreading the Sufi Message of love, harmony, and beauty. He brings warmth, humor, and clarity in his efforts to help seekers on their path to awakening.
