Dzikir Ratib Saman as a Spiritual Practice to Enhance Psychological Well-Being in Kerinci
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study explores the practice of Dhikr Ratib Saman as a spiritual endeavor aimed at improving the psychological well-being of the community in Tanjung Pauh Village, Kerinci. This study views Dhikr Ratib Saman not merely as a ritual act of worship, but as a transformative spiritual practice that has a meaningful impact on the psychological and social well-being of the local community. The main issue addressed is how this practice contributes to the mental and social well-being of residents. The objective of the study is to describe the observed conditions and to explore in greater depth Dhikr Ratib Saman as a spiritual practice for enhancing psychological well-being in Kerinci. The method used is descriptive qualitative research employing observation, interviews, and documentation. The research findings indicate that Dhikr Ratib Saman plays a significant role in fostering inner peace, self-acceptance, and positive interpersonal relationships among its practitioners. Respondents reported experiencing greater calmness, a sense of openness, and improved emotional regulation. Additionally, participants discovered deeper existential meaning and spiritual direction, and expressed increased self-confidence in making independent life decisions. Beyond its role as a religious ritual, this practice also serves as a source of emotional and social support, enabling individuals to better cope with life’s pressures, cultivate gratitude, and reduce psychological stress. Thus, Dhikr Ratib Saman is not merely a religious practice but also a medium for emotional and social empowerment that helps communities cope with life’s pressures, enhance gratitude, and reduce stress.
