Veils

In Bahá’í teachings, the removal of veils is primarily a spiritual process of eliminating illusions and prejudices that prevent one from perceiving spiritual truths and the reality of God. This concept was also symbolized by Bahá’í figure Tahirih when she publicly removed her veil in 1848 to advocate for women’s equality and the spiritual independence of the Babi Faith from prior religious

Removal of veils is mentioned throughout the writings and prayers of the Bahai Faith.

O Son of Man!
The light hath shone on thee from the horizon of the sacred Mount and the spirit of enlightenment hath breathed in the Sinai of thy heart. Wherefore, free thyself from the veils of idle fancies and enter into My court, that thou mayest be fit for everlasting life and worthy to meet Me. Thus may death not come upon thee, neither weariness nor trouble.

Baha’u’llah, The Hidden Words, Arabic no 63

Releasing veils

We will work as a group on Zoom. A group will consist of 4 or more people. We will be looking at individual veils for everyone.

Veils are negative ways of thinking about self or emotional pains and traumas from the past that need to be released. Prayers and meditations will release individual veils for everyone in the group.

Discussions will help in this process of personal spiritual development. A group working with the Holy Spirit is very powerful.

£20 per session on zoom approx. 60 to 90 mins.

A prayer by Abdul-Baha for a spiritual meeting

O God! O God! From the unseen kingdom of Thy oneness behold us assembled in this spiritual meeting, believing in Thee, confident in Thy signs, firm in Thy Covenant and Testament, attracted to Thee, set aglow with the fire of Thy love and sincere in Thy Cause. We are servants in Thy vineyard, spreaders of Thy religion, devoted worshipers of Thy countenance, humble towards Thy loved ones, submissive before Thy door, and imploring Thee to confirm us in serving Thy chosen ones, to support us with Thine unseen hosts, to strengthen our loins in Thy servitude and to make us submissive and adoring subjects communing with Thee.

O our Lord! We are weak, and Thou art the Mighty, the Powerful. We are lifeless, and Thou art the great life-giving Spirit. We are needy, and Thou art the Sustainer, the Powerful.

O our Lord! Turn our faces unto Thy merciful countenance, feed us from Thy heavenly table with Thine abundant grace, assist us with the hosts of Thy supreme angels and confirm us through the holy ones of the Kingdom of Abhá.

Verily, Thou art the Generous, the Merciful. Thou art the Possessor of great bounty, and, verily, Thou art the Clement and the Gracious.
