    Magic (sacred) power of dance.

    Magic (sacred) power of dance.

    Magic (sacred) power of dance*

    Ted Andrews


    Ted Andrews dances a dance that celebrates life.

    Dance is one of the most effective forms of magical (sacred) ritual, awakening and activating subtle energies. Authentic sacred dance is a means of concentrating consciousness and controlling it with the help of physical exercises. The outer manifestation of the inner spirit.
    Anyone can master the practice of magical (sacred) dance. To master it and achieve the desired results, there is no need in special training. The dances by which one can reach a higher level of consciousness are simple, individual and temperamental. they do not require much space, since when they are executed certain effects are achieved, which create the illusion of space, power, time. It's all about the ability to express yourself in motion. Not so much skill level as your very participation in the dance already awakens energy.
    Dance and movement are inherent in the universe. Plants wiggle gracefully. They turn towards the sun, rhythmically sway in the wind, take the most bizarre poses. Birds have their own language of postures and movements. They spread their wings, expressing a threat or performing marriage dance. animal dance demonstrates their strength, aggression or love flirtations.
    The human body is designed for movement, which is as natural and necessary for life as breathing. Like breathing movement gives us the energy that allows us to go beyond the usual perception. Movement balances, heals, awakens and fills with energy. It generates the psychic energy necessary for gaining strength, spiritual perfection, for life and even for death.
    The purpose of any physical ritual actions is the direction and concentration of consciousness. Humans have an amazing ability block the process of their spiritual growth. Controlled physical action, such as dancing, can help us overcome this trend. Dance connects our physical abilities and energy with spiritual aspirations and helps us stay in touch. with higher life forces. Dance promotes the interaction of the hemispheres of the brain, connecting the intuitive and rational. The central nervous and muscular systems transform musical rhythms into a form of movement, which allows us to expand the traditional perception of the world. There have been times in the past when people became obsessed with rhythm. But we should learn to control the rhythm in harmony with the inner world. Dance is body movements that are individual for each of us. They characterize us emphasizing individual traits. body movements, as it were, connect the external world of a person with the internal one and serve as a bridge between him and his divinity. In order for movements to be powerful, they must be controlled. Modern dance does not have great magical power, although the energy awakens during any dance. In many ancient societies, special importance was attached to observing the forces of dance. The dance was healing, educational, sacred. The ancients were well aware that the men and women participating in the dance are not just dancers, but priests.
    Magic dance is also a way of self-improvement. Awakening the lower emotions and forces and releasing them through dance, you can use it to gain control over them. Magic dance is an art that stimulates our vitality, restores energy, awakens creativity and the ability to improvise. In fact, any human activity is a ritual dance, but we still need to figure it out. The one who does not believe, and those who do not participate in the ritual dance themselves will never understand its true power. For him there will be a dance just a dance, dervishes - just actors, a Catholic mass - a performance. However, it must be remembered that any religious rituals cannot be performed for their own sake. Perhaps this is the biggest problem. Sunday masses!
    When taking part in a magical dance, we must remember that energy does not arise in the process of dancing, it simply awakens and activates it, and to know that the energy does not depend so much on our ability to dance, but on the result our direct involvement. Any person, if he is able to move even a little - let it be just a blink. eye or rhythmic breathing - can become a participant in a magical dance.

    Magic dance yesterday and today

    Turning to history, we find that the religious dance performance took place within the walls of churches and temples. Before the ritual dance was performed right on the ground, on which sacred circles were drawn, which symbolized angels, dancing in the heavenly spheres around the throne of God. This idea is the basis of many dances with circular movements, about which we'll tell you later.
    Sacred and magic dance from time immemorial is an integral part of the culture of any civilization. Shamans and priests with the help of dance music entered into a state of trance. Ritual dance has always been a synthesis of spirit and movement. In many cases, for example, in the ancient rites of the flameni kachina, the participants embodied various forces of nature.
    Most esoteric teachings say that each of us is a microcosm - a miniature reflection of the macrocosm in Universe. Therefore, we possess all kinds of its energies. The sacred dance is a way of stimulating them and directing them not to the outer world, but into the inner world, to deeper levels of consciousness. The dancers of the Kachina tribe had several types of dances: dancing in a circle, imitating the movement of the sun, dancing in a chain, personifying the merging of male and female energies, for increase in fertility and the connection of heaven and earth, dances are threads that, like the threads of Ariadne, led the dancer to a secret knowledge of the labyrinth of life.
    The power of dance was also used in martial arts, especially in the East. A series of sequential movements in martial arts called kata . While some consider kata a martial discipline, it can also be seen as a dance, pertaining to martial arts. The word "kata" is translated as "sequence of movements" or "book of movements". Human, who in ancient times practiced this art, wrote down the order of his movements. Outer form expressed inner urges and goals.
    The postures and movements of Kung Fu are based on the imitation of the movements of birds and animals, and sometimes insects - for example, praying mantis, hawk, eagle, tiger, which contributed to the study of nature and helped the learner of Kung Fu to achieve harmony with it. If speak about ninja traditions, postures and hand gestures were of primary importance for them. Ninjas could control the energy of nature with the help of hands For them, each hand and each finger on the hand symbolized an external force and is a characteristic sign. corresponding parts of the body. In India, it was believed that the girls performing the sacred dance were the wives of the gods, about whose life narrated their dances. An important role was played by dance in ancient Egypt, which is attested in the extant hieroglyphic pictures. The influence of Ancient Egypt extended throughout the ancient world. Since the school of the sacred dance in Spain - another center of ancient ritual - became the successor to the Egyptian style. Greek and Roman mystical schools attached great importance to ritual dance. Music and dance were the main components of the art of healing and magic. in the Orphic, Eleusinian and Bacchic mysteries. For example, the serpentine turn of the Greek farandole of the Provençal dance serves as a symbol of the journey to the middle of the labyrinth - a kind of model for the transition of the deceased to the afterlife. Similar travel has been a common theme in many mystical teachings around the world.
    Sacred dance refers to quite complex themes and forms. It is simple to perform. At the same time, the degree of energy awakening depends on the degree of participation and the importance that we put in the movement. It must be remembered that every gesture and movement carry a symbolic meaning. The more meaning we put into movement, the more energy is released. Sacred dance helps us push the boundaries of our consciousness. The transcendental has been ignored for centuries property of the dance, yet each of us can restore it. Magic dance is not just a symbolic expression someone's personal beliefs. Movements and gestures create thought forms, whirlwinds of energy, the fusion of thought and action give rise to its special energy) a form that exists in physical reality.
    By reading this book, you will learn to manage your development with the help of the art of dance, to awaken your creative forces. I want to recall that the exercises and movements described in this book are only the basis, the starting point. Don't let the monotony to master your movements, strive for an individual, creative approach and do not be afraid of variations. If you will do, you will find yourself dancing around the Tree of Life, which is the conduit between heaven and earth.

    Magic postures and positions

    Some physical movements and postures stimulate certain levels of consciousness, activate divine energy, more fully involving it in interaction with the physical world. We can learn to use these movements and postures to connect to this energy. Physical exercise allows a person to disconnect from the outside world and immerse himself in the inner world. Gestures, postures and movements convey the inexpressible. They involve both hemispheres of the brain, they are a direct and powerful means of communication with cosmic forces that operate around and within us.
    The East has been aware of the spiritual value of movements for thousands of years. The movements and postures of oriental yoga are the outward expression internal states of consciousness. In learning the magical dance, we use the external form of movement to express the internal reality. These physical movements awaken and help to realize our inner energy. Poses are a means of physical connection with the divine within us. Movement helps to realize that the body is the receptacle of the divine spirit...


    *Chapters from The Magic of Dance (Your Body as an Instrument of Power) by Ted Andrews, 1996.

    Sufi dance

    Through dance, through circling around its own axis, in figures of eight or around the sun, a person is reunited with movements of the universe, planets and atoms, galaxies and electrons. When it swirls it creates a quiet point inside the heart and turns the universe into being; as it unwinds, it draws its spirit back to its divine source.

    Embodying the celestial movements of the planets around their own axis and around the sun, the dervish, thanks to his whirling, realizes the spiral movement of the universe within the being. The contraction of spirit into matter takes place around the calm axis of its own hearts. His right (active) hand receives the manifestation of the One, and his left hand is turned to the earth, his spirit, like the alternating breath of the cosmos, circling, free from illusory existence, expanding and spiraling towards its divine source.

    Thanks to the dance that reproduces the macrocosmic creative dance of Shiva, the vortex movement of the planets or the dance of atoms, a person is actively included in the creative vibrations and orderly movements of the Cosmos. His body becomes the universe, his movements - her movements, and when they are harmonious, then he is not only in harmony with himself, but with the whole universe, which he becomes. By means of a whirling movement, the higher intellect is drawn through all spheres of existence down to the gross matter. The spirit ascends by turning to the opposite direction of the spiral, through which the world manifests, and by expansion, since matter is compressed, as in the inhalation and exhalation of a cosmic whirlwind. Dervish dance or "whirling" shows the successive manifestation in matter, the grinding of the illusory world and the subsequent ascent of the spirit.
    The first phase is contraction: the dervish begins his dance with his arms crossed over his chest, suggesting the idea of ​​union in the heart of the descending and ascending vortices. His left foot stands firmly on the ground, representing a fixed axis. with his right foot, he begins to move around his own axis, at the same time rotating with his comrades around the central sun - the leading dervish. He gradually unbends his crossed arms and tilts his head to his right shoulder, he raises right hand, symbolizing consciousness, to receive the Divine emanation, and lowers the left to return his gift to the earth. It spins faster and faster, as if, thanks to its own rotations, it would bind the Sky and Earth by actually passing (turning) the spirit through itself down into the earth, while its axis and heart remain perfectly still, and his own spirit soars to the divine source. The higher his ecstasy, his expansion and growth, the wider his skirt develops. When both of his hands are raised to the sky, it is as if would the union in his heart, indicated in a state of contraction (spirit into matter) with crossed arms, reach the highest expansion (matter into spirit) thanks to the opposite rotations of the arms and skirts - the outward expression of the bliss of the Divine Union with complete silence of his heart.

    "Dance of the Future"

    Movements taught by the ballet school of our days, movements that vainly struggle with the natural laws of gravity, with the natural will of the individual and are in deep contradiction both with the movements and with the forms created by nature - these movements they are essentially barren, that is, they do not give birth with the inevitable necessity of new future forms, but die in the same way as they came into being. The expression that dance has found for itself in ballet, where actions always break off suddenly and find their death in themselves, where neither movement, nor posture, nor rhythm are born in a causal connection from the previous one and, in turn, are unable to give impetus to a causal action, - is an expression of the degeneration of all living things. All the movements of the modern ballet school are fruitless movements, because they are unnatural, because they strive to create the illusion that the laws of gravity do not exist for them. The initial, or basic, movements of the new art of dance must carry in themselves the germ from which all subsequent movements could develop, and those, in turn, would give rise in endless perfection to all higher and higher forms, the expression of higher ideas and motives.

    To those who still derive pleasure from the movements of the modern ballet school, to those who are still convinced that modern ballet can be justified by any historical, choreographic or other motives, I will say that they are not able to see beyond the ballet skirt and tights. If their gaze could penetrate deeper, they would see that unnaturally disfigured muscles move under skirts and tights; and if we look even deeper, then under the muscles we will see the same disfigured bones: an ugly body and a twisted skeleton dances before us! They were disfigured by unnatural dress and unnatural movements - the result of teaching and education, and for modern ballet this is inevitable. After all, it is based on the fact that it disfigures the naturally beautiful body of a woman! No historical, choreographic or other grounds can justify this. Further, the task of all art is to serve as an expression of the highest and best ideals of man. Tell me, what ideals does ballet express?

    Dancing was once the most noble art, It must be so again. He must rise from the bottom to which he sank. The dancer of the future will rise to such a height of perfection that she will become a guiding star for other arts. To artistically depict what is most healthy, beautiful and moral - this is the mission of the dancer, and I will devote my life to this mission.
