Did you know that the whirling dance or meditation of the Sufi has a very fun origin? It involves a 13th-Century mystic, a clanking hammer, whirling, dizziness and a trance-like state of complete peace and ecstacy.Ashdin just had his first experience of this yesterday. He went to a Sufi workshop, half expecting to fall flat on his face with all the spinning. Feel dizzy and disoriented. However, he encountered a great feeling of peace.On this episode, Ashdin talks about being open to exploring spirituality and mysticism.
