Lataif

The Sufis believe that the soul has 6 senses.  They are centers/chakras called Latifa that can be activated by appropriate spiritual exercises.

When these senses are activated by meditation or prayer, the person is able to sense the nearness and presence of a/the Divine Being.

This is known as a process for  "joining with the Beloved", or "mystical union with God".

These centers are:

Nafs
Qalb
Rooh 
Sirr
Khafi
Akhfa

For more information Google "Lataif".
