Transcendental

Dhikr

Literally means "remembrance" or "reminder" and are devotional acts, in which phrases and prayers are repeated. It can be counted on a set of prayer beads or through the fingers of the hand.



 Chant

To make melodic sounds with the voice especially or to sing a religious prayer or sing to a simple tune.



Whirling Dervish and Finding Sufism

The Dervishes wear all white long gowns with full skirts and hats. Seemingly tireless, the dancers can spin and whirl for hours at a time with their arms held up in the air. They assume this stance so that they are open to receive the blessings and energy from heaven.

The goal of whirling and spinning is to achieve a state of Sufism. A form of Islamic mysticism, Sufism is a state of inner power and peace that allows a person to feel a deep love and connection to the rest of the world. Sufism is achieved through visuals and devote practices...one of those is dancing or spinning.



Mysticism

It is best thought as a constellation of distinctive practices, discourses, texts, institutions, traditions and experiences aimed at human transformation, variously defined.

"Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot. Seek the path that demands your whole being" - Rumi

There is an abundance of oil in circulation but travelling is limited, how irony. It will take a recovery in demand to really turn the market round and that will depend on how the health crisis unfolds. Further, pessimism about the prospects of oil companies and oil prices continues to rise. ⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸⇸

Abstinence

"O you believers, fasting is prescribed to you as it was presribed to those before you, that you may learn self-restraint".
