Trance Dancing with the Jinn

In this experiential guide to Sufi spirituality, Yasmin Henkesh explores trance dance as a path of healing, transformation, and direct encounter with the unseen realms described in Islamic mysticism. Drawing on her training within a Sufi lineage, she presents the jinn not as figures of superstition but as subtle forces within the psyche and the spiritual world, inviting readers to engage them through embodied practice rather than fear. Blending memoir, teaching stories, guided exercises, and theological reflection, the book offers an accessible introduction to Sufi metaphysics, sacred movement, and inner purification. It will appeal to readers interested in mystical Islam, esoteric spirituality, and movement-based contemplative practice.
