If you are curious about Ecstatic Dance and why it's becoming a viral experience around the world, you may want to hear what The Standard UK has to say.
"This is not me as a hedonistic, raving twenty-something, but instead a sober, slightly self-conscious forty-something in leisurewear, taking one for the team to report on the rise in Ecstatic Dance — a form of movement based on ancient traditions. Shamans used it as a way of connecting to spirits; the ancient Greeks used it as a way to worship the divine; and the Sufis incorporated it into their routines.
It’s an abandonment of all inhibitions where one is encouraged to move as your body dictates, often to drums and rhythmic beats. The aim is to achieve a meditative state and fans of this intentional raving say the benefits are significant.
Ecstatic Dance is now sweeping the globe with packed classes everywhere from Bali to Berlin. Sah D’Simone, for example, who incorporates Ecstatic Dance into his Somatic Activated Healing Method™, has nearly half a million Instagram followers and counts spiritual guru Deepak Chopra and Kanye West as fans."
