The Practice of Fikr - Nature Meditations w/ Pir Zia Inayat Khan

Many of the practices given in the Nature Meditations classes are Fikr practices. In this video, Pir Zia gives a brief explanation of it. This was part of the second episode of Nature Meditations, which took place on January 10, 2021. You'll find the whole video here: https://vimeo.com/499019165. "The breath is like a swing, which has a constant motion, and whatever is put in the swing, swings also with the movement of the breath. Fikr, therefore, is not a breathing practice. In Fikr it is not necessary that one should breathe in a certain way, different from one's usual breathing. Fikr is to become conscious of the natural movement of the breath, and picturing breath as a swing, to put in that swing a certain thought, as a babe in the cradle, to rock it." - Hazrat Inayat Khan, Volume XIII - The Gathas, Part IV For more information, visit our website: http://inayatiyya.org/ Watch all videos in full length: https://vimeo.com/inayatiyya Or follow our Instagram:   / inayatiyya   We're on Facebook, too:   / inayatiyya   You'll also find Pir Zia on Instagram:   / ziainayatkhan   We're working on a Soundcloud presence as well:   / inayatiyya
