Soul Journeys in the Multiverse - Nature, Metaphysics, Mythology & The Arts
Do you know about sufi whirling or zouk movements?
Hi,
As I've gone along my spiritual path, the type of music I listen to and my dance - which I've practiced since I was young, and mainly alone at home as a theraphy - has enormously evolved.
What I've eventually found to be "my dance" is a mix of zouk (Brazilian couple dance) movements and sufi whirling. It's all about spirals, circles, orbits, head movements...a very galactic kind of dance, which is connected to the organic movements of nature, actually: everything's spinning. As we otherkins are generally very connected to nature (it is well known in folklore that fairies dance in rings), I think many of you guys could find an easy connection to that kind of dances. They have the potential to take you to an ecstatic state of being, feeling an intimate connection with the divine. It's actually the dance of the Heart. There are many sufi poets such as Rumi or Rabia of Basra that express this even like an erotic, deep, fiery kind of love connection. And I can understand that, because I can feel some of that too. Crazy, huh?
May I then share some of this with you? I'd like to record myself sometime to express what I'm feeling when I dance. But at the moment, I'd like to share with you what that looks like in other dances. There's Ziya Azazi, my teacher. And Evelyn Magyari. They are my main inspirations. Let me know what you think, I'm curious to know :). Here there are some videos:

And a more extra video, nothing to do with what I've just explained, but I love this woman's energy, especially in ther legs!:

And one last ressource, especially for those of you who would like to study more about the brain - dance connection, especially in neurodivergence (I think somebody mentioned about autism in an earlier discussion), there's an interesting website offering ressources and workshops: https://www.neuroscienceofdance.co/. I did one mini course with them. I'm not promoting at all, just sharing what has helped me.
Hope you enjoy the videos! :)

Multi Dimensional Reality
The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament" or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.
A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...
