 It's a very active, very dynamic, and he is here from the Goodwill. We're in the place, expanded hard, but there is the donation station for the Akibeta Pavilion. So this space has... I'm very curious to know, and I'm sorry to start by asking questions, but I would love to know who from this group is living here and who is visiting. So if you are living here, can you raise your hand? So I'll do opposite. If you're visiting, can you raise your hand? So to start relaxing a little bit the crowded space, let's please make two circles, like a smaller circle here. Maybe hold hands just to see the size of the circle and adjust the distance. So let's make three circles. A little bit smaller right here. The outside will donate to the middle circle. Yeah, more space. And then people will come in as a joint. So raise your hand if you have practiced this technique or classical. Okay, great. So let's just try to go directly to the practice with that much explanation. Let the experience be the explanation itself, but basically we're going to be using our bodies, our singing voice, our hearts, the attention of our minds all together to send prayers, to send intentions, to anchor energies, to meditate while moving, to open our hearts. And on top of that, we're going to be using different languages from different traditions during the night. To warm up, chances start. These words come from each hand. You've heard about the most. It says, may I take peaceful steps upon the earth. I bow to you, a flower. Let's learn the melody and then I tell you what we do. Steps upon. Steps upon. Let's explain. Okay, everyone have a fun. So we're going to walk in this direction, like counterclockwise, mid-wide singing. And when we're saying, may I take peaceful steps upon the earth, I'm just concentrating in that intention, and we'll agree that when I walk with peaceful steps upon it. So just kind of feeling the earth with our palms down. And when the song says, I bow to you, a flower. We just look someone that is near to us, and we do this movement. I bow to you. And then you open like a little lotus flower, and then you offer this flower to this person. And then you get, I bow. This is just to warm up our throats and our hearts, and to say hello to the friends we haven't seen in a while. So just walking that way, may I take these two steps? May I take these three steps upon the earth. May I take these three steps upon the earth. That brings, connect us with this capacity to, even when things are happening here, to keep going and to trust that somehow all rivers eventually go to the ocean, that the evolution flow of life somehow always goes where it needs to go. And that when you are with the right detention and you are with the right heart, you have the support of the Divine. Even if you are fighting with a big empire, with a monster, and you're just a bunch of heart-free people, like Him. So sriram, jayam, jayam, sriram, jayam, jayam. There is simple melody. Let's learn the melody and then I tell you what. sriram, jayam, jayam, jayam. It's not Kyrgyzstan. I'm just going to show you the phrase. It's really short. Send it at Aro. So much in your person and singing, try to blend your voice. Right foot going and... sriram, jayam, jayam, jayam. A basket is formed by holding hands with the neighbors All arms in the front. Try that. All hands with the neighbor of your neighbor. All hands in front. Your arms open. Your arms in front, open your arms. Open your arms. Open your arms. Open your arms. In front of your arms. In front of your arms. No, in front. Yes, you got it? So like this. Like this. We do the second line. But so we need to be quick. Otherwise the line finish and we're not ready. So let's try walking like this, the second line. So the first line is... Everything is going to move to the clockwise. Always the same because then it's too complicated. And third movement, third line of the mantra, will create a sun by lifting the arms to the middle. Not high, not correct. If someone is looking from above. It's amazing. Amazing Mandala. So let's try walking like this with the right foot in front. It will be the third line of the mantra. And now we're going to... For the fourth line we're going to fully experience the unity of community. And we're going to go all the way up and behind. We're going to let go of the hands. Four ways of understanding the art of perseverance. Remember. Strong. For the last part, don't struggle too much with the arms. If you want to let go, let go of the head. We just want it from our backs. So let's start. What was the first one, please? It was a... That's the basket. That's the basket. Go back to simple terms. Simple terms. That's the basket. A little bit of concentration will help us. Because I want to teach you more dances and more different songs. Remember, first, simple circle. Second, the basket. Third, the sun. Fourth, embrace it. Everything on the left. Right foot in front. And... Simple circle to the left. Please, with the mystery of... There's a little pointer there. So the word from spirit is the same word for being navigated that mystery. How many days can you live without personal dice? We even say, oh, he has... This is his last breath. Breath is life. Life is breath. And life is God because the activity of life is a miracle, he said. If you want to find the divine, don't look in the seventh sky or beyond, beyond, beyond. Look at life. Life is the manifestation of the divine. What is more amazing and more miraculous than life, he said? A hummingbird, the power of the sea the system, the jungle. Everything that happens in my body is the coordination of my billions of cells, my heart beating, doing all the things. You can forget about breathing. Life will breathe for you. Because life is leaving you. Life is taking care of you. You don't need to think, oh, my body is getting hot. I better start sweating. Life takes it all. And breath is the only function in the body that is both automatic and with your direction. So breath can be unconscious or conscious. It's the only muscle, the diaphragm here that can be moved by the all nervous system, the automatic nervous system or can be moved by the neocortex. You say, oh, I want to breathe now. But if you forget, it takes over. So breath and consciousness are also totally inseparable. There's no spiritual practice that don't use breath. Conscious breathing. So we're going to practice this in this next dance. But we need, at some point of the dance, we need a partner. So just face someone in your circle, turn. In your same circle, turn, face someone. If you end up alone, raise your hand and find another partner is happy. Yes? So in the dances, in the dance and with partners, most of times, vast majority of times, we advance in the way we are looking now. So look at your partner and notice that you are looking, some people is looking counterclockwise or other people is looking clockwise. So that's your line of progressions. Just make sure to keep following your nose and everything will be okay. Yes? Okay, now for the first part of the dance, we hold hands in the circle. There are so many. It's good to keep the conversation as minimal as possible. There are so many. So it's very easy to start feeling the room with other things that the instructions of the dance. So it's easier for everyone to keep the conversation minimal. I promise we will make a break in the mirror and we all can talk about this dance. And now, the first part of the dance is super simple, which is going to sidestep open and close to the right. Open and close. And open and close. And open and close. And al-ala. Al-ala. Al-ala. Al-ala. To these two al-ahas is like breathing in so their arms are going to be coming up slowly during the two al-ahas and two al-ahas coming down slowly. So we're going to be like a moving breathing animal together. Let's practice that. Sidestep open and... Al-ala. Al-ala. Al-ala. Which is the word that needs spirit or breath. It's just very simple. We're just going to turn individually to the right like this if you want to watch. You have to feel the entire melody with your turning. Don't turn that fast because then you'll end up boring. So let's practice from the beginning with the al-aha open the right foot. Al-ala. Al-ala. It's the breath of the divine. It's breath that is in me. It's the activity of the divine. So try to remember what we're doing. At some point after we have practice in the circle I'm going to ask you partners. So you're going to face your partner and you're going to do this practice with your partner. Let's say I'm in the circle that means I'm going that way but to find your partner you go that way and I say partners so you just hold hands with your partner and start turning. Al-ala. Al-ala. Al-ala. Al-ala. Al-ala. Ooh. Let's try that. That means face your partner. Face your partner. Face your partner and remember two al-ahas coming up and in the room how you let go of the hands and start turning individually finding your new position. Remember where you're going and Al-ala. Al-ala. Common mistakes take that happen. You confuse the circle and then spot a cave stay in your circle. Remember your circle. All of these take possible. You in the turning with your partner you came back to your same place that you're standing now and then you have to actually move to your partner's place. Right? Or if in the turning of your partner you want to stay at the center and the other one out, no problem. Just move to where your partner is standing now. At the feet of your partner, that's your target. You have to finish there. You have to finish right there. You should finish there but look in there. Look in that way. One. Two and three. Please face this new partner. Face your new partner. This new partner. This new partner and just to not make more confusion and more difficulty every partner's shift is turning clockwise. Everyone is turning clockwise with the partner. If you put that lock in the ground follow the turning of the clock. One, two, three. New partner. This is a chance to this is a chance to cultivate a subtle quality. So for example, if I'm practicing with my partner maybe not like this Allah Allah Allah Allow yourself to go slowly and don't because that that is bringing you is bringing your partner also. So you have all this mystery of something happening inside. So just enjoy that. We start with the circle. Remember who is this partner because you can start dancing with this partner. Open to the right and in this song on our singing and this time this energy is going to be next practice is a little acupuncture for entirely for going to say in in the ajun mabu ajun mabu ajun mabu newen mabu ajun mabu means love newen mabu means strength ask yourself how can we are offering strength to the esa should be the other way she offers us a lot of strength and sustenance but happens to be that mother earth now it's in labor she's giving birth so it's good to also stand with her in this labor stand with her like just as we see the mama's giving birth like breathe and cry come on yes yes we can also stand up with mother earth because gaya is pregnant with something new and every new birth it's a little bit messy and chaotic and painful and some parts of mother earth are in deep pain but something wants to be born so we're also going to support that the melody is like this the left always back the right always in at the same time the circle moves strength so we stop moving we keep bouncing in and we step a little bit strong but we're a big group so don't don't create a catastrophe but we you know love with our steps are just caressing here oh soon high melody is strengthened yes we're going to be your gardeners we're going to stand by your side we keep on going in and out in and out in and out somehow is connected to a message to the west 100 years of the next sessions but this is the first time that this practice is coming back to India then to India the first Sufi teacher that brought Sufi to the west was from India then that message got enriched and that fermented and gave birth to this in the west so now it's coming back to the east and we're bringing this practice for the first time to Asia and Jesse right after this weekend to another three or
