Sufi Whirling

Sufi whirling is a ceremonial dance practiced by the Sufi mystics, primarily the Mevlevi order, as a form of spiritual meditation and devotion. During the whirling, practitioners spin gracefully in repetitive circles, symbolizing the soul's pursuit of divine connection and unity with God. The movement helps achieve a meditative state, fostering inner peace and spiritual harmony. This practice is rooted in centuries-old traditions emphasizing love, humility, and the search for spiritual enlightenment through rhythmic movement and focused intent.
