Sufi whirling
Sufi whirling (or Sufi spinning) is a form of Sama or physically active meditation which originated among Sufis, and which is still practiced by the Sufi Dervishes of the Mevlevi order. It is a customary dance performed within the Sema, or worship ceremony, through which dervishes (also called ''semazens'', from Persian ) aim to reach the source of all perfection, or kemal. This is sought through abandoning one's nafs, egos or personal desires, by listening to the music, focusing on God, and spinning one's body in repetitive circles, which has been seen as a symbolic imitation of planets in the Solar System orbiting the sun.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Sema of the Mevlevi )〕
As explained by Sufis:〔(The Whirling Dervishes of Rumi )〕
In the symbolism of the Sema ritual, the semazen's camel's hair hat (sikke) represents the tombstone of the ego; his wide, white skirt (''tennure'') represents the ego's shroud. By removing his black cloak (''hırka''), he is spiritually reborn to the truth. At the beginning of the Sema, by holding his arms crosswise, the semazen appears to represent the number one, thus testifying to God's unity. While whirling, his arms are open: his right arm is directed to the sky, ready to receive God's beneficence; his left hand, upon which his eyes are fastened, is turned toward the earth. The semazen conveys God's spiritual gift to those who are witnessing the Sema. Revolving from right to left around the heart, the semazen embraces all humanity with love. The human being has been created with love in order to love. Mevlâna Jalâluddîn Rumi says, "All loves are a bridge to Divine love. Yet, those who have not had a taste of it do not know!"
== Origin ==
In the 12th century, Sufi fraternities (tariqa) were first organized as an established leadership in which a member followed a prescribed discipline in service to a sheikh or master in order to establish rapport with him.〔"Dervish." Encyclopædia Britannica. 2009. Encyclopædia Britannica Online. 21 Sept. 2009 (Dervish )〕 A member of such a fraternity is referred to as a Persian ''darwish.''〔 These turuk (plural of tariqa) were responsible for organizing an Islamic expression of religious life, often founded by independent saints or resulted from the division of existing orders.〔MacDonald, D.B. "Darwish (Darwesh)." Encyclopedia of Islam, Second Edition. Edited by: P.B. Bearman, Th. Bianquis, C.E. Bosworth, E. van Donzel and W.P. Heinrichs. Brill, 2009. Brill Online. Augustana. 21 Sept 2009. (Darwish (Darwesh) )〕 Each Sufi tariqa stems from a unique ''silsila'', or "chain of order" in which a member must learn, as the ''silsila'' binds each member to Allah through one's chain of order.〔 One's ''silsila'' extends through the member's individual teacher, to their teacher and so on, through time until one is connected to the Prophet and thus Allah.〔 The Prophet himself is revered as the originator of Sufism, which has in turn been traced down through a series of saints.〔
