Ziraat Practice for the Month of May 2021:
Ya Nur – Divine Light shines on us
Ya Alim – The Knower; Intuitive knowing; The Divine thinking behind the Universe from our inner being. Here we have the chance to bring light into our intuitive knowing of the universe where we are.
Do this practice alternating Ya Nur with Ya Alim 11 times out loud. Then Do it on the breath 5 times, breathing out Ya Nur and breathing in Ya Alim.
Ziraat is the seed to completion and stays with your soul to completion.

We will celebrate with a Full Flower Moon Ziraat Lodge along with Prayers to the elements, readings, song, and sharings. All are welcome to come.
Green Tip of the Month for May:
Plant as many plants as you can to enrich your garden and help bring beauty to our Mother Earth! Let’s find ways to help heal our Earth Mother and stop using plastic everywhere we can. One way is to support web sites like “Who gives a Crap.com “ who produces toilet paper with total recycled paper or makes it from bamboo and use no plastic to package it or ship it.
May all of you have a wonderful, warm, and beautiful Spring
Peace & Love,
Shakur
