Sufi Dance, The Sacred Ritual of Love

We intuitively use Poetry to Heal or express Joy!

Spiritual Practice, a Meditation, a Mystical Journey

Sufi Dancing or Dervishe Dance is a beautiful Spiritual Practice, a meditation, a mystical journey of spiritual ascent through mind to ’s Love.  It originated amongst Sufis (an esoteric dimension of Islam) and it is a dance, done as a ritual and .

Rumi was a 13th century Persian Sufi poet and philosopher, who wrote 30.000 verses of poetry about divine love and spiritual bondage.  Rumi passionately believed that music, poetry and dance are the path to reach God.  It was from his teachings that the practice of Dervish’s dancing became a ritual.

The Sacred Ritual of

Sufi Whirling and its Meaning

A Sufi spins around his centre for many minutes, letting go, abandoning the ego and surrendering to God.  Spinning through the space, the dance takes the form of the cosmic rhythma spiral.  When the Sufi’s arms are crossed he represents the number one, or God as Oness. 

While whirling, the Dervish’s arms are open: his right arm is directed to the sky ready to receive God's blessings, his left hand is turned toward the earth connecting with it.  The dance is a way of training the Dervish's awareness

For the Sufi, knowledge is metaphysical, and it can be attained only through practice and not through thinking.  The Sufi symbolically turns towards the truth, abandons the ego, and arrives at the Perfect.

Slowly, as the body sways consciousness also changes, the mind assumes a freedom from the earthly bondage.  With this ecstatic dance the Sufi Dancer enters the trance forgetting his Self and becoming united with the Divine Lover.  Their dance becomes ecstasy.  The Sufi unites with the beloved, and they become the instrument for the admiration of creation. Their heart is filled with passionLove is the only way to truly experience the beauty of the world.  In the ritual dance where consciousness penetrates the body and the mind, the lover joins with the beloved, the dance becomes the dance of Divine Love.
