Ive heard that dance was traditionally a western path to enlightenment.

Does anyone know anything about this. What styles of dance in particular.

There are the Gurdjieff Dance/Movments, this is from the movie based on his life:

Gabriel Roth has a Sweat Your Prayers practice of dance as sacred release. I'm sure she's on utube somewhere. I really like her Wave DVD's.

 

Enlightened or not, don't we want to fill our lives with song and dance?

Also as an extra note: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=sham...;oq=shaman+hea# in this documentary about shamanism @ 1 hour and 12 seconds there is a part that starts about HIAH PARK. She is a korean Mudang wich practices ritual dance and scents of flowers as a way of healing people, seems very very intense and i would love to pay her a visit since its only a few hours driving from here, she resides in Germany often :)

 

I believe she is very very powerfull after seeing her eyes in the documentary.

 

This is her website: http://www.hiahpark.de/com/index.htm

 

Kind regards, Mike

Aren't we constantly dancing to the rhythm found in life itself? Birth, Growth, Decay, Death.

 

Seen another way, the whole of life is one big dance with the Tao keeping the rhythm going endlessly.

 

And less poetically, if you're really dancing can't you help but smile?

Hindu tradition is serious into dance. Now you see it in Bollywood movies and whatnot, but classically dance was a very advanced form of yoga.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natya_Yoga

 

I don't know if there are any pure lineages around today. After all, devadasis turned into glorified prostitutes; natya yoga could have met a similar fate. But if it traces back to Narada Muni, it was the real shit once upon a time.

Natya is alive and well in multiple forms of classical Indian dance. Odissi, Bharatanatym, etc. The only reason why the devadasis are percieved to have turned to prostitutes was after british colonization, but not all...

The three major forms of indian dance were reconstructed from temple archetecture. The circle and the square of the indian arts started in these spaces of worship.

Thanks for the info and the video Spectrum!

 

I have always fancied the idea of studying Natya, as dancing is one of my favorite pastimes. I'm glad to know its still alive and well.

 

I was under the impression that devadasis were becoming prostitutes a few centuries before the British colonized India. Something about the economics and politics of running temples... But I am aware that at no point were not all of them were engaged in such a profession, and it was not the norm everywhere.

Most enlightened beings have been called that at one point or another.
