Breath Dzikir is a form of passivity or resignation by using words repeated
regularly, that induces relaxation through the feeling of serenity.
In the breath dzikir, relaxation
response is integrated with faith. The repetition of words chosen can evoke a
state of relaxation. This integrated method is more effective when compared to
the relaxation technique that does not involve faith factor. This method can lead
us into a deeper level of relaxation.
To obtain a perfect relaxation, it is recommended that the words used are
those which have meaning or deeper significance to us. In the Islam literature,
there are many words that can be utilized to practice dzikir, such as Huu Allah, Subhanallah,
Alhamdulillah, Allahuakbar, or by
using Asmaul Husnah, Beautiful Names.
The meaning dzikir itself is being conscious,
and therefore the act dzikir emphasizes
more on the meaning or significance of the act and words than just their
verbalization.
With all this, it is expected that this Breath Dzikir can lead the subject to the transcendental nature.
Transcendental nature would provide a different state, an altered state of
consciousness, where the state of consciousness will as well change the state
of mind and state of emotion.
In this condition, if continued with the resignation, it will result in an
extraordinary spiritual state, because to approach God cannot be obtained
except through total self-surrender to Him. In one of the Hadits of the Prophet, it is said that self-surrender is the
closest state of being between man and God.
Self-surrender can be described as an attitude of total submission to the
transcendent object, that is God Almighty. With this attitude, whatever happens
within oneself can be accepted without reservation; thus, it is very effective
to induce passivity. To practice good relaxation with dzikir can obtain a positive effect of serenity and freedom burdens
due to excessive stress.
In essence, dzikir relaxation
requires us to be able to enter into a state of mind of submission to the
Creator. Because as we enter into resignation, we will be conscious fully of
God. The more we can feel resigned and willingly accept the disease that we
experience, the rest of the body will be in harmony to accept it in serenity. Ultimately
it will create a sense of relaxation and finally find a peace of mind.
The use of breathing is very effective in the practice of dzikir, because breathing is a unique
method. The integration of breathing and the verbalization of words Huu Allah help to create a conducive
atmosphere of dzikir.
Then the use of breathing regularly will intensify and deepen the intensity
of dzikir. By doing so, the breath
becomes an effective tool to be the anchor. The principle of anchor is
intensity. The more we use breathing for dzikir,
the faster we become associated with the awareness of God.
A Practical tip to make breath dzikir
as an anchor is that we have to find first an atmosphere of dzikir, or the atmosphere of tranquility
in the dzikir, or ultimate spiritual
state that we have ever tasted and experienced.
Having found the ultimate spiritual atmosphere, do the inhale with uttering
the word, Huu, and and then the exhale with uttering the word, Allah. Sustain this state for the
duration of ten minutes.
Once completed, do check if the anchor is effective to forget other things
except Allah.
To do this method continuously or istiqamah
eventually we will be able to slowly and gradually reach a spiritual state that
we want, anytime and anywhere. Simply by following the breath technique with
the utterance of words Huu Allah, our
heart will feel serenity instantly.
