Active Movement Meditation Dance

Dancing is a novel way of practicing active movement meditation. While dancing, we step outside of ourselves and our everyday lives. Dancing provide us with the chance to fully inhabit our bodies and liberate ourselves from our thinking minds. You find various styles of dance in different cultures. Dance has been used in diverse rituals and ceremonies for many years and it is one of the best ways for expressing the emotions.

Bharatanatyam is one of the major forms of Indian classical dance and it expresses South Indian religious themes and spiritual ideas. This form of dance is well-known for its artistic presentation and creative expressions. Bharatanatyam represents spectacular footwork and sophisticated symbolic hands and eyes expressions. There are several dance compositions in Baharatanatyam tradition including Pushpanjali. Pushpanjali is a combination of two words; “Pushpa” meaning flower, and “Anjali” meaning folded hands to show respect and gratitude. Pushpanjali expresses a symbolic salutation to the lord of dance Nataraja, the Guru, the musicians, and the audience. Another well-known example of active movement meditation dance can be traced back in the practice of whirling dervishes. Also known as Mevlevis, these dervishes are the followers of Rumi, the great Persian poet and Sufi mystic. Whirling as a form of remembrance of God, dervishes use meditative dance as part of their spiritual practices.
