Like birdsong beginning inside the egg,
Like the universe coming into existence,
The lover wakes and whirls
in a dancing joy that kneels down in praise.
~ Jalaleddin Rumi
What Students Say about Dance of Oneness
Inside Sama: The Holy Ritual of Whirling
In this 2-Part Series, Banafsheh will initiate you into the sacred dance of Sama or whirling through a clear, accessible method she has developed from years of experience. It is recommended that you take both sessions and whirl for a set period of time every day in between sessions.
Listen…listen with your heart… and allow this listening to lead you into a spinning dance that opens your heart and connects you to the greater universal field of love where you can be nourished with blessings from the infinite, and become a channel to nourish our impoverished and traumatized world.
I was dead and became alive.
I was tears and became laughter.
The wealth of love came into me
and I became everlasting fortune.
~ Jalaleddin Rumi
The new physics informs us that everything we see as matter is actually space spinning. The spin function goes from the universal size all the way down to protons and subatomic particles. This is how everything comes to exist. Space time spins itself into protons, atoms, planets, stars, galaxies, clusters, super clusters, universes.
Life forms become coherent through the spin. ~ Nassim Haramein
How profound it must be then to step into the spin consciously as a way to reconstitute our fragmentation and create coherence between the body, heart and mind. Rumi’s poetry that we love so much flowered from him as he whirled. The words just poured forth in a miraculous fountain of perfect rhyme and meter in the Persian language. This is a testament to the power of this ancient sacred dance that unites body, heart and mind into one coherent expression of love, beauty and goodness that can bring the dead back to life!
