Ecstasy of Dance
Sufi whirling is a form of Sama or physically active meditation which originated among Sufis, and which is still practiced by the Sufi Dervishes of the Mevlevi order and other orders such as the Rifa'i-Marufi. It is a customary meditation practice performed within the Sema, or worship ceremony, through which dervishes (also called semazens, from Persian ??????) aim to reach the source of all perfection, or kemal.
How it was originated
It began simply for the 13th century mystic poet Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi. He had been walking towards a goldsmith, but came away dancing to the melodic sound of a hammer. It was (yes) a whirling dance, and Rumi grew dizzy. So dizzy that he entered a trance. He became ecstatic. The sound of the gold had left, and god was felt. Since then, the Dervishes have whirled.
Sufi dance
This dance is a spiritual practice (known as Sama) and is related to “spiritual hearing” in sufism. This whirling or spinning style dance is sometimes referred to as the dance of the “Whirling Dervishes” but there is an important difference.
Difference between the dances
The whirling dervishes dance is part of the Mevlevi Sufi order and is highly codified and choreographed. The essence of the Sufi Dance however is a ?communion with the divine“ and not just a blind imitation of the familiar whirling and spinning movements. The Sufi Dance creates a personal space in which the dancer is free to explore a more intimate journey experienced using the whirling and spinning technique.
What does Sufi dance represent?
The dancer is destined to whirl as the earth around the sun and so achieve harmony with the Universe itself. As the planets themselves rotate so the dance is performed spinning from the left side, the heart side!
Why does the dancer whirl and spin ?
The answer to this question is to be found in the Sama (spiritual hearing) and truly it is only the one who spins who holds the key ! Like a journey that cannot be taken without departure, the one who desires the mystery and secret of the dance must feel the will to embark upon the journey !
Age limit
There is no age limit to enlightenment! The Sufi Dance is an instructive dance, but have you noticed how children often start to spin spontaneously? See how they enjoy the sensation! Alas when we grow up we seem to lose this spontaneity and this is why it is said that the dance takes us back to the repressed sensations from our childhood.
Experience required for dance
Anyone of us can learn the Sufi Dance and master the whirling, spinning techniques whilst respecting ones own limitations! With time and practice the dancer will improve in power and speed and embark on the journey to mystical intoxication and the liberation of ones own soul.
Can I perform and experience the Sufi Dance?
Yes but you must be a believer!! A believer in ‘love’!! To love yourself and to love others. To believe in each one of us. Through this dance I’m offering the oportunity to the one who is watching me to look at himself like a Mirror reflection…I am myself and at the same time I’m everything. It is a question of hearing and listening between myself and the other.
Music
Sufi music is repetitive and often built around the Zekr (or Zikr) which is concerned with the memory and the practice which rekindles the memory. It’s powerful rhythm reminds us of the heartbeat and leads us to the mystical intoxication of the Sama.
Long skirts
The long skirt, most often white as a symbol of purity, enhances the circular motion of the dance. Naturally the long flowing skirt begins to spread and fan out as the movement increases in momentum. The sufi dance créates an invisible energy, colourless, pure and transparent as light reflected from a Mirror. The swirling skirt begins to move in endless waves and an aura envelopes the body in the same way as the sun bathes the earth in its light.
Does the movement induce nausea or dizziness?
It is quite normal to feel disorientated or ?dizzy“ and indeed it is said to be an essential part of learning the dance and preparing the dancer to enter the state of ecstasy known as ?mystical intoxication“ which varies in intensity from person to person. Perseverance and self discipline are the pathway to enlightenment where spirit and body fall by the wayside in the liberation of the soul.
4 good reasons to practice sufi dance
A way to meditation ? A body and mind liberation ? A free way to express oneself ? A physical and healthy practice for both heart and breathing. END. ....... om om om .......
