OSHO: Sufi Whirling

OSHO International Foundation - http://www.osho.com

"There is a method, a Sufi method know as dervish dancing. Sufis dance. You might have observed small children whirling, dancing round and round and then getting in a whirl... And small children like whirling. Why? -- because when they whirl, they get a deep kick, and in that kick they again feel themselves beyond the body. And that's a beautiful experience -- that's why they like it. Studying this whirling of children, Sufis have developed a method, a meditation method -- they turn, whirl. ... they will tell you to dance, and go on in a mad whirl, and remain a witness -- as if a wheel is moving, and the axis is there and on the axis, the wheel is moving...The axis remains constantly in one position, centered, and the wheel moves on it. Whirl like a wheel, and remember your witness inside as a center. Suddenly you will feel you are the center and the body is just a wheel." - Osho

Many people make "ritual" things in clockwise in North Hemisphere, and counterclockwise in South Hemisphere, to be in harmony with the earth movement...

[Safana Alomary]

its called Sama which means sky in arabic

[JackHighlander]

i see the people are whirling in different directions. in the tibetan rites, they say to always whirl clockwise, while modern dervishes always whirl counterclockwise. does anyone know whether osho said anything about that, or have any more info on what whirling in each direction does?

Osho Sufi Whirling Meditetion Is Very Best Whirling Danc Meditetion

[crazykel217]

Osho says: Sufism is the heart of Islam. If Islam can revive this meditation into our lives, and bring back the heart of Islam, then Islamic extremism would probably disappear. Osho also said: without Sufism, Islam is a corpse. Thumbs up if you agree that Islam has to bring back the days of Sufism back into their lives :)

[Gustavo Coronel]

Un discípulo preguntó a Hejasi: Quiero saber qué es lo más divertido de los seres humanos. Hejasi contestó: "Piensan siempre al contrario".

- Tienen prisa por crecer, y después suspiran por la infancia perdida.

- Pierden la salud para tener dinero y después pierden el dinero para tener salud.

- Piensan tan ansiosamente en el futuro que descuidan el presente, y así, no viven ni el presente ni el futuro.

- Viven como si no fueran a morir nunca y mueren como si no hubiesen vivido."

Buena semana!!!
