Part V. WHIRLING

V The fifth part of the Element Ritual is:
THE WHIRLING
• The Men stand in the Posture of Respect on the circle and the Women stand in the Posture of their Element;
• After bowing lower than the heart and turning to the left in the Posture of Respect, the Men bring their arms upwards, like a rose opening;
• The head is turned towards the left, while the eyes look over the opened right hand;
• The right hand is receiving (with the palm upwards) and the left hand is giving (with the palm downwards) both as high as the head. Turning is done by putting the right foot over the left foot;
• During the whirling the name of Allah is in thought repeated on the earth-breathing;
• The Women follow at the same time from the Posture of their Element, which after bowing lower than the heart and turning once in the Posture of Respect, opens up in the Posture of the whirling;
• The Men and the Women whirl now together (the Men on the circle and the Women within the circle).

It is known that at a certain moment Jelal-ud-Din Rumi was so moved by the thought, that the whole of life is one single expression of beauty in movement and rhythm, that he began turning around. While he was circling before the eyes of his pupils, the skirt of his robe widened during the whirling, which had a most beautiful effect. This happening made such an overwhelming impression on his pupils, that the memory of this is still being celebrated.

During the turning a total silent point in the centre of your body is formed. Open yourself up as a channel in the knowledge that nothing exist save He, during the dancing. You can than experience that the universe is turning around that point. If you are calm during the whirling and you give your emotion and thoughts totally over to God, then you open yourself to the Divine Light. The attitude of silent surrender makes His Light stream through you to the earth. (from your right, receiving hand to your left giving hand). The dance is for God and the Creation. Jesus said: "Unless you dance, you won't know what will happen".
