Zikar is a contemplative practice from the Sufi tradition. It is often translated as remembrance. Through spoken or singing repetition of sacred phrases, combined with simple body movement oriented to the heart, one opens to remembering their true nature. The vibrational field created through chanting, along with orienting to the heart and its powerful energy field (the electric field is 60X and the magnetic field 5000X more powerful than the brain) help us move beyond our ego mind to…

In celebration of Christmas I wanted to offer symbolic commentary on the Nativity scene which is such a powerful image in the Western psyche at this time of year. Let’s begin by looking at the image of the Nativity as if it were a dream.

Hi Rodney. I would also like to add my welcome to Ed's. I'm glad you've found the Depth Psych community. I'm somewhat familiar with the Diamond Heart work though probably at a very surface level. I haven't seen anyone else bring it up on the Alliance so I'd be curious to know what kind of discussion it might generate.
Please jump in if you feel moved and post something from your learnings if you will, or engage y by joining a discussion, commenting on others' posts, or posting some of your own work. I'll send you some tips on navigating the site in a separate email though you're clearly off to a good start!--you managed to change out your personal profile photo--something not everyone manages. Enjoy the site! Bonnie Bright, Founder
Welcome Rodney,
I am glad you found the Alliance and decided to join. I am only vaguely aware of the Sufi tradition(s?) and am interested in how you bring that tradition to your work as a psychiatrist. Please browse the many blogs, forums, and groups and add your comments, experiences, and questions. I look forward to your posts.
Ed
