On this new moon, I share with you my next practice in the morning which I learned from Sufism. It’s called Dhikr. Repeated 11 times, inhaling, I circle my head to the left shoulder and down to my heart, and up to the right shoulder and back up to upright. Doing so I say silently “there is no God“ on the outer realm. I take a sip of water.
On my exhale, I descend my head towards my heart and say silently “but God” within my heart. Doing so, I deepen the practice of working within to find light, love, and the peace that are the attributes of the one I referred to here as God.
