The Sacred Dances Effects
The experience of the Sacred Dances offers much more than a new perspective and relating to the body/mind. New energetic channels open in the body. Participants speaks of feeling a "solidly" new structuring at the level of the brain, as if untrodden paths are suddenly being transformed into open circuits, new bridges being opened between the 2 hemispheres of the brain. And rather than being an Art, the movements belong to an ancient objective Science.
Different fragrances of the movements include: The peaceful inner space of prayers, the longing, awakened by others, the heartful feeling of knowing that "I" is much more than what one am living, the inner fire , the passion and determination triggered by dervish dances. These things are awakened with the practice of the dances.
During the movements, each dance, movement has exact positions. The transitions are not about just reaching to the positions, but the WAY it one arrives "there", this continuous uninterrupted message given by the movement and its substances: sometimes, a very small change in the fingers spatial position , and the meaning changes drastically.
As the condition of being "at home inside - AWAKE" starts to become familiar, one begins experiencing the BEING in front of DOING.
Being becomes home, not doing, accomplishment, position, rank, family, respectability, or the myriad other aspects of the ego.
If "I am" is reunited with the body, the heart and mind work together to act in life in a conscious and efficient way. The movements show that there is no in-between: either one is present, with the 3 centers, physical, emotional and intellectual, in support of each other, or one is asleep.
