very nice video shoes Sufi Mystic

[72seeker72]

The description is very nice.

[paste507]

Please make fun as much as you like.

But please don't before trying it, and try it with the right intentions.

You will then find the centre of you. And it isn't dizzyness.

I had this experience myself this weekend. And wether fake or not; it made me feel great. So don't knock it until you've had a serious try yourself...

[issibooi]

And now try to walk in a straight line.. ;D

[Qeti57]

To be able to do this form of dance you begin by meditating focusing on the center of your inner being. Other wise you can not do this dance you will only feel dizziness...

[6enlighten9]

seems like they are just getting dizzy and saying that feeling is some type of divine presence. i think they are just dizzy because their sense of balance is thrown off??

[udinpetot87]

deviant to the core....

[cashprinter5000]

what does this actualy about

[MAJIKVEGGIE]

Please do not attempt whilst wielding sharp objects.

[sboonefelton]

Its pretty.

[mennebilim]

As far as I know Rumi was a Turk and lived in Konya, Turkey. Not Persian as mentioned above. Anyway he is universal, everyone's.

[SuspendedSkye]

@mennebilim All the Rumi-related videos have massive arguments on whether he was Afghan, Turk or Persian. Phew, I just came from one.

[jopalolive]

@SuspendedSkye "you are all right, you are all wrong"

[kareklas9]

Dreamers..............keep on Wheeling.

[BeamSurfer]

OSHO is a Jain Kafir, that's what i am saying, as a sufi, maybe i might.

[DeadlyDreamerX]

@BeamSurfer

Osho is an atheist. And the label Kafir is stupid and biased. We are all humans here. No Gods, No prophet. Just Humans. Do not let religion interfere with your relation with your fellow humans.

[thevisionaries2012]

Essence of the Universe!

[murtezakurubakir]

olum herkes ibadet edebilir,kadınların başını kapayacağınıza kendi abazalığınızı dindirin yavşak yobazlar..

[asinan01]

Bir de bilmiş bilmiş konuşmazlar mı...

Bu mevlevilik zaten değil de, hele sufizm hiç değil! Kendini kaybederek deli gibi dönmek bu. Her kıyafetin, her duruşun, hangi elin havaya açılıp hangi elin yere doğrultulduğunun bile bir anlamı var!

Bunları yapan müslüman olamaz, ki zaten değil!

Ama sayelerinde aman İslam şöyle kötü, aman böyle terörist, aman böyle anlayışsız...

[Silvio19Alves]

Everything whirls! The Universe whirls, the atoms, the cells, the water, the air, the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth...

[JanisdEhun]

Göstere göstere bunları bulur gösterirler. sapıklar da el atmış sufilige

[takwa2010]

bu sapikliktan baska birsey midir

[filmguruonly]

Nice

[habharchi]

It was not dance, it was the movement which helps the resource of energy in the body activated and become harmony with existence.

[whirlingmeditation]

pls what ist the music in this video ?

[skaterboy21292]

silly

[Ishtarization]

Sufi master Jalaluddin Rumi was not the first one who used whirling technique it exist before long long time he became enlightened while doing whirling meditation

the earth whirls on its Axis continually and every thing move ,God is the Center of the Universe ,whirling is a meditation to get the positive energy and remove all the negative energy , really it is the best way to think and meditate about God

[frutadelli]

@Ishtarization You could have expressed urself in a better way friend. Just wrong synthesis of words.

[DYNODRUM]

The Earth moves [whirls] on its Axis continually ;all the Planets orbit and circle each other , Where does Man go.The Circle is the perfect truth. Why all the Planets are round ,what if they were square or shaped like a donkey The First real Musical instrument [Drum] resonates in the circle of air. Round it is... round we go ....

[ironlamb]

His voice is just as soothing as the whirling.

[bbjindal]

aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Jeremiah5063]

awesome. but so dizzy

[namaste15]

I wish I can whirl without getting so dizzy and losing my balance. Maybe it takes practice

[NYCkerz]

Rumi created this dance?!

[MissIjna]

This must be why children love whirling around, I know it made me feel wonderful and free when I was little.... be like the child, be free.... I am going to try this again one day and see if it makes me feel even a little like it used to.... beautiful dances.

[rdsuzanna]

yes... this is one of the religious practices that has always allowed women...

[wheezdumb]

I have always found it interesting that children, despite their culture do this (Well, something like it). It must be a primal human behavior.

[goldtipu]

Banda Namaz he parh lay koi Allah ko yad kar lay ... time zaya kar rahay ho ..

fazool....

Fazool time zaya... Namaz Roza karo..

[th3truth91]

you could really do some whirling on ice skates!

[MysteryLily]

I do not think that Rumi invented this dance. I think that Sufism is far older.

This was filmed at a RESORT...

[meriprem]

Very pleasant video that explains and demonstrates Sufi whirling dance perfectly. Thank you for posting

[bosphorusus]

He is known as Persian by some. And known as just "Rumi". That's wrong. He is not persian; He is Turkish and his real name is "MEVLANA". Mevlana Celaleddin.

[akosigundam]

Don't they ever get dizzy from all that spinning?

[TheQuietCenter]

@akosigundam when I started, I would get nauseous from just a few turns... now I'm up to about 13 turns when I do the tibetan rites and many more turns when I do it in this Sufi way.

I love doing this right before bed - i have extremely lucid dreams

[fahed79]

@akosigundam

mind over body my friend, mind over body

[kmlkmn]

turkish,mevlana

[amancay2006]

love this video!!! im from argentina do you know if in my country are this sufi dances??

thanks for sharing

kisses from the south

[Poppyta]

@amancay2006 hola como estas? justo vi tu post. mira se que hay en la ciudad autonoma de baires....fijate en el blog de centro de giro derviche naqshbandi, ahi estan los dias y horarios!!!

[deucestrutter1]

It is just like when you are a small child and you just feel the need to whirl around in circles. There is something inside you that causes you to want that. I can understand that now!!!

[H1703]

i was first introduced to suffi whirling by a documentary video, yeah its mystical, i feel like a divine connection, n i get very attracted to the suffi music..so why music is played when someone is whirling..the music n the whirling have a very powerful spiritual connection..I dont know anything about sufism..but this sufi whirling is a way (for me) to get connected to the ultimate!n the cosmos!

[birdlynn09]

I'd get to dizzy to try that now.

[emacwakeup]

could u tell me of some experiences and how to do it properly. and does it matter which way you whirl?? thnx

[jacquie876]

@emacwakeup

Most people whirl around their left shoulder, but some do it the other way round. It is important to be prepared and focused, to be warmed up, to breathe deeply, and to trust yourself.

[7717tzm]

the earth turns too.day n night to makes things alive.

[LuminousAeon]

Very fascinating. I definitely see how it can be a form of meditation.

[ziplockism]

this is what people in avalon did or atlantis

[eshedu1]

if you dont know meaning ..it dont have meaning,...YOU MUST BELIVE AND ALL YOUR CELL and protons and neutrons must belive in it, ...if not , betther go to the PUB, at least YOU WILL KNOW WHY ARE YOU DRINKING FOR!!!! CHEERS,

[ziplockism]

cheers

[zzinglish53]

The last line explains all; the essence of whirling is no movement.

[slatkisunet]

how can this make u closer and more spiritual when this isnt good for ur health

[Joysquigglesparkles]

Who says it's not good for your health?

[selamhabibi]

sxmost Are you confused, hold the wall you might be able to balance yourself.

[nihilism80]

it does seem kind-of instinctive... i used to spin around when i was a little kid till i got dizzy and everything looked all swirly.

[apichonado]

amazing videoooo

[Whyolin]

we did this with my brother when we were kids...

but we did not know the technique. but the feeling was great.

[sudrika]

this is very beautiful

[crnogora]

wouldn't you get dizzy and fall down?

[vassephardi]

You don't get dizzy because you focus your eyes on one spot and every time you turn your eyes go to that spot. Like a ballet dancer doing a similar move. If you start whirling while facing the front of the house then your body turns but your head snaps faster and focuses again on the front of the house and you keep going like that. Like disco dancing on rollerskates.

[ballpark4]

man i stumbled upon this video while learning about Nataraja or the dancing form of Shiva, its crazy cuz I be whirling around and never thought anything about it

[stopthismonkey]

Thanks Shems-i Tabrizi

[SathyaAtma]

I noticed in watching this video that some women are whirling clockwise, others counter clockwise is there a difference?

Thanks for sharing this video :) Namaste

[yousef24u]

yes there is difference. Learn more on whirling

[aznesa]

love&peace

[Phyle9]

that's a cool kind of dance.

i bet they get really dizzy ! wow

[CesarBrauer]

So grateful/moved for having information like this, THANK YOU!!!!

[AllisonLPayne]

Think I might try Whirling Tomorrow Morning...I used to Love doing this as a Child...It was definitely Ecstatic(-:

[maxplay76]

i dont belive this that just whirling connects you with the devine....peace...

[nawazsucks]

Dont they get dizzy?

[uranis30]

No, they actually are the only stable and unmoving thing on Earth. Everything is making circles around them, but they are still as a rock, nothing can move them.

I love this meditation btw.

~Namaste

[Pomegranatem]

Mevlana

[sionatube]

And...how do you stop whirling?

[MorfeuV]

You DON'T.

0_0

[uranis30]

You fall down with your hara center touching the ground and you wait 15 minutes laying still. Then you get up.

[stevsatz]

Thank you for this note.  I enjoyed this video as I do most all of Rumi's videos also.

[9torus]

the dance as an outward manifestation of Max Plank's "quanta of action"? spin....I used to enjoy watching figure skaters spin~spin~spin and how they could spin faster by bringing their arms in close to their body and thereby conserve angular momentum. In the sufi dance angular momentum is not being conserved as the arms almost represent the petals of a flower reaching out for......the light.

[enigk69]

just watching this makes me dizzy lol

[starstanoura]

good women

[Nyhee7]

I did this yesturday, and it put such a glorious joy in my soul, but on a side note, it is good to start this on a very empty stomach. Oh, the glory and the pain, but still, I shall do it again. :)

[peacecandle1]

Very nice explanation. Thankyou!

[katarinakatka]

my handicapted sister ( 15years)she can whirl for hours, i'm just watching it and i don't believ she practise meditation...

[vjazz]

u curtainly have your own way of definition for 'meditaion'. u'r not her eand u dont know whats happening in her ( ur sister ). all methodes can be used for meditation purpose like jogging, even cleaning the house, take a walk, or just breathing. the difference is awareness. u can run for an hr and u feel relaxed, thats kind of meditation isnt it? when ur mind stops working then u'r half way there.

[rocktheflow]

I think you're blurring the meaning of meditation. Meditation is a fairly specific way of achieving relaxation. I wouldn't call running meditation. The reason why you relax after a run is due to the endorphins, not because your mind is quieter. That said, you can certainly achieve divine experiences through pushing your own boundaries, due to the intense focus you place on your self.

[Habbibz91]

im no sufi or w.e they are, but i think they beleive if they twil enough times they loose consciousness and enter meditation......lol.

[autumngrief]

Meditation is defined as total, one-pointed concentration and eventual absorption into some particular object of consciousness.  There is no reason why running, or any other physical activity cannot be used to quiet the mind. This is, after all, the entire basis of Hatha Yoga.

[mesiiik]

yup that seems you dont know anything bout that..

[portoklaska]

Nobody calls running meditation...meditation is the centre that does not move...listen once again:-)

[portoklaska]

Meditation is the centre that doesn ´t move...it is very hard to explain to people. Have you tried this whirling?

[chocolatechipcokies]

@katarinakatka well, what do you think she is practising if it's not meditation?

[elhamk07]

Rumi, the Persian poet was the creator of this dance.

[oomarlestipondan]

@elhamk07 ..ooooooohhhh no..he did not teach dancing n whirling,,astagfirullah....n that amoung n wiz women......its a joke.......

[yamtartheturk]

@elhamk07 He is not Persian.He is Türk.He lived in Konya the cit of Turkey.and His grand childrens are still living Turkey.and this isnt a dance.this is a part of Şeb-i Arus (wedding night) ceremony.Şeb-i Arus means that The death of Mevlana (17th of December 1273) marks the Seb-i Arus ceremonies, or the Night of the Union when Mevlana was united with his Creator.

[chakswarimassive]

@elhamk07 plz refrain from callin it a dance as its a form of zikr thanku

[2akulahu]

Peace and love to all here, please check it out, is another great sufi band from Germany.(Very Interesting!)you all can simply go at myspace and look for; inessprojekt

[bendoura]

i never knew that women whirl too.

[Sevdaliserseris]

@bendoura Every person,every creature, every single thing whirls in this universe.

[DeliBasAli]

@bendoura

A little late answer but at Mevlevism there is women whirlin dervishes too even women head of community too.

[changiz110]

in your mind you look at one point, that is it. and practic

[changiz110]

there is technic to it.

[HiAdrian]

Interesting. You can see whirling quite a lot in various old cultures. I bet those long skirts are fun.

[NOMESDEPLUME]

That is WONDERFUL! Why is allways in same direction??

[ZwolfZki]

I just looked up 'Sufi' on YouTube... this is the first vid I saw... I was wondering if whirling ceased making one dizzy after a time... thanks premgovinda...

Stabilisation of the whirling self...

How long can 'whirls' go on for?

Regards,

K

[redins7248]

Is there a certain way to whirl? like clock or counter-clock wise??? cause i see some going cw and others ccw.

[myauboy]

if i am not wrong their direction is counter-clockwise which is the same direction that our planet whirls around itself and around the sun and also universe whirls counter-clockwise too.. ? im pretty unsure about this last one though.

[James1261]

Is there a way you can whirle so you do not get dizzy?

Peace of god be upon you.

[premgovinda]

Dear James1261, the best way is to go very slowly at he beginning. It helps also to focus on the hand that faces the sky, in this way you have a reference point that moves with you. As your confidence grows, you can speed up, little by little. Remember, this dance, this whirling is a celebration, keep a smile on your face. You are melting with the universe.

Namaste

[claudiofimiani]

I did this sufi whirling meditation here in Argentina with some masters and sannyasins and yes it's so beautiful and peaceful.

Thanx!

[vincentjennings]

Great Video! abbeyofthelemafilmDOTcom

[rahmama2]

Thank for a very beautiful explanation of whirling. I may try it someday. In the meantime I let Rumi's poems lift me up off the dry ground. You can view my multi-media interpretations of a few of Rumi's poems on my YouTube site: rahmama2

[umits]

Selam. This is the way of "mevlevi"s. Look at wikipedia for Mevlana the Rumi.

[azqrlaf]

This makes what was otherwise a legendary caricature in this culture a valuable resource. Could whirling be some innate understanding of the movement of the earth and the cosmos?

[regalparks]

interesting

[occorsio]

Thank you, it's really a joy watching these videos from the Resort. And there's so much rubbish labeled "Osho" on youtube... Your videos are like fresh air.

Love
