 So Farima, do you want to do a little intro for this? Sure. Do you want to say what we're going to do? So I'm just going to show a couple of hand movements and footwork, you know, the whirling and then see if we can catch some of the points. So basically the bowing, it is the, even though it's a sign of humbleness or being, you know, as we are servants to the divine, but it portrays the one, the number one. This is the number one. And now we are the, we are going to become the tree of life, the spirals of the tree of life. And so this would be our access point. And as we are going through this process, this is the waterfall that I mentioned that now we are creating that wave of bringing that giving water to the roots of the tree of life so that it can give us life so the tree can grow. Now, of course, if I had the skirt on, you could see it growing and growing with the hands. But now we'll do a little demonstration. And then we start to bring the foot into the, the access. So we have to come back. I do have to mention that in the more of the Turkish tradition of whirling, they bring, they pick up the red foot and they come back into the access point. And that keeps them in a very nice, slow pace of whirling. The Iranian tradition is a little different or the Indo-Iranian whirling is that they don't really pick up the foot all the way. They are actually more grounded within the roots. So they are basically down rather than lifting. So you're going to see my foot doing that, being more grounded because I'm used, more used to that. And as I'm going to be whirling, my arms starts to create that tree of life. And then it starts to go into the spiral and bring in the elements and the sacred elements of the universe. So you see my wings, which are the soul. And then I become one with the soul. If I raise my arms up, I become the third eye. Again, the soul, the senses. The third eye that we have a soul and a body and now we have that third eye. Oneness, being one with the divine. We can make water waves, the waves of life. In planets, around branches of the tree of life. Spirals and all being connected with the DNA as we are whirling, I can point to the eight point of sorrow, bringing the seven sacred elements to life, whirling in the axis point, and then going back into number one, giving back to life. So these are the branches of the tree of life. These are the water waves that we do. This is basically the soul flying, so these are the wings. And this is the oneness which goes to the third eye, the three. So from here we go into the triangle. Then we basically have the earth, the planets going around us. So I'm basically now going into just the circle. And you notice that I come out and I started to make that big sacred spiral and my turning got bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. But sometimes there are whirling where we are pointing to the eight directions. The others will be going in and out, so we will whirling in and out. And as we are doing this, we are making small circles within a big circle. But I basically just did a basic one for you. Let's do a shot from the top of it. Let me know when you're ready. Alright, here we go. Should we try this with costumes and see if we can see the waves and the patterns? Yeah. A little bit of whirling for you was proper costume. And white, we often wear white because white is the color of oneness. It represents purification because it is also the sign of the soul, death or soul. And the ancient traditional sign of virginity, the virgin priestesses. But it's basically a sign of nothingness. You might also see often other whirlers whirling different colors. It's very normal to see where other colors like eye often were red or blue or green. And those colors actually represent colors of planets. For example, red is Mars, blue might be Neptune, green is Venus. So basically the yellow represents sun. So you will see different colors and basically representation of planets. So we're going to get started so that you can actually see my movements of hand, the points and the shapes I make to be connected with the sacred geometry and the planets and the seven sacred elements of life. Let me show some examples of the different footwork style. One is the Mevlavi tradition, which is the Turkish whirling style. And what happens if they pick up the foot and they come back into the access point into a big circle. Then I'm going to go into the more Indo-Iranian tradition, which both foot are grounded and they're constantly pointing. And that's where they're pointing to the pointed stars, the points of the stars. But I'll also show you going in and back into the circles because there is oftentimes where we go in and out and out. So you can see the footwork going in, out of the circle coming into the circle and that's where the spirals and the different circles within the circles happen. Okay, so let's see if we can... So basically are we going to do the first one first or the second one first? Well I'm going to do the first one, which is the access point, coming back into the access point. Then I'm going to go into the different points and then I'm going to go in and out of the circles pointing the different foot. And that was all three different styles together. Yeah, back to back. Okay, cool, cool. Thank you. So basically at the same time that you're doing the feet movements, you also have arms and you also have your head doing stuff. So... It's very complicated. Very complicated. So should we look at... And is this the same pattern you followed? Does it mimic what the feet are doing? Do the arms mimic what the feet are doing? It's all connected, it's all connected. Like I said, because we are that tree, so everything is connected. And so the mind starts to control everything. And so it's all connected. So we're all doing different things at the same time, but it's all connected to one root. One root. Okay, but is it going to be the same pattern as the feet? What the arm does? No, no. It's a different pattern. It's different patterns, yeah. So is there two styles for the hand? There is actually, it's very complicated. There are many styles for the hands. Like I said, because we have to manifest seven sacred elements within the dance. So we are manifesting movements of seven sacred birds, flowers, the four elements, planets. So we are water, fire, air. We are bringing everything in, creating sacred geometry, triangles, circles. So all of that is present. So I can't really go over everything, but I can show some examples that you can see some of the major points. Maybe the geometry of the thing. Okay, for sure. For sure. Let's try it on. Okay. Yeah. All right. So. One thing that I noticed during your performance, one of the performers I saw, you were wearing this dress with the lights at the bottom. And you started twirling and the sine waves were incredible. The trigonometry that I saw was mesmerizing. So we're going to try to recreate that. And hopefully we can get it on video. Is that okay? Yeah. And light is very sacred to the ancient Mesopotamian, ancient Iranian. So light represents fire and purity. So it's Zoroastrian. It's Zoroastrian. I have to use lights in order to show the fire, the sacred fire. Okay, cool. One thing I forgot to ask you during the, when we were talking was, you mentioned that some people whirl for hours. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's, there is a saying that we whirl for 72 hours. Wow. Yeah. Wow, really? Yeah. People, you can whirl for 24 hours. Once you're into that state of ecstasy, you're in sleep mode. Yeah. So it could be dangerous because you can fall into that sleep mode. And so someone has to wake you up, but you have to also train your brain to wake up. Because once you go into that sleep mode, then you can go on and on and on. Yeah. Yeah. People do whirl for hours and hours and hours. Wow, wow, wow. That's cool. I mean, four or five hours is nothing. Four hours is nothing. No. People will whirl for, like I said, like 12 hours, 24 hours. Wow. Yeah. Wow, incredible. Incredible. What's the longest you've done? The longest I've done is four and a half hours. Four and a half hours of whirling? Yeah, four and a half hours. That's cool. Straight. I mean, I have done where like I would take a break for 10 minutes, come back or wait for, you know, five minutes. And I went on for like almost 12 hours. Yeah. But straight, without stopping, four and a half hours. Four and a half hours of whirling. Wow. Yeah. What was it like when you came out of that? It's very different. I mean, sometimes you cry because like... Emotional. Yes. You're very emotional when you come out of it. Sometimes you're very happy. It really depends on what you see because you start to see images. You start to hear things. Everything just becomes... You're completely, you know... I can't explain it. Yeah, it's a trance. Yeah. It's like being high and you come out of being high and like, okay, I'm in this reality and I don't like it. Yeah, yeah. You're bearing your soul. All your guards are down. Yeah. All your walls are down. Yeah. I mean, in the Sufi tradition, they do say it's like death. You're dead. And then you have to come back. And sometimes dead people don't like to come back. You know, they don't like to come back. They like what they see there. So it's a state of being. So sometimes I get very emotional and I just cry. Or sometimes people have said that I was screaming while I was whirling. Some people said that I've been laughing when I was whirling. And I don't know any of this. You don't remember? No, I don't remember any of this. But there are videos of me that I'm clapping and dancing while I'm whirling and I don't remember any of it. Wow. There's, I mean, like I said, people said you were screaming and saying names and I don't remember any of it. So you're in a sleep mode. In a trance. In a trance. That's cool. That's where the shamanistic aspect comes from a lot. And spiritual, all spiritual mythology and contemporary religions, I guess. I forgot to tell you about the head but we can do that later. And then the line of the head connected with the heart and going... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I've seen, that's some of the ones I've seen, right? The head is one of the most important part of the body that actually makes you go into trance.
