Sama

Sama refers to a traditional form of Sufi spiritual practice, often involving music, dance, and poetry to induce spiritual states and foster a deep connection with the divine. Participants, usually in a communal setting, engage in rhythmic movements, sometimes spinning, while listening to devotional music. This practice aims to transcend the self and attain spiritual enlightenment. Sama is often associated with the Whirling Dervishes of the Mevlevi Order, who use it as a form of meditation and worship, celebrating love and the pursuit of spiritual truth. It's a profound expression of faith and devotion.
