Workshop: Sama’a: Sacred Euphoric Whirling Dances July 8, 2006

Javad was born in Mashhad, Khorasan, in the north-east of Persia, the original center of Gnosticism, mystical knowledge and power. He is the author of the book Sama’a: Light of the Light of the Light.

Javad teaches corporeal, respiratory and mental exercises. ?The Teaching includes infinity respiration, eye exercises, body discipline, symmetric and asymmetric movements, the method of divided attention, and whirling.

“Sama’a simply means hearing. Sama’a is the sound of a joyful song that evokes inner happiness. As the underlying reference Sama’a embraces song, singing, pounding the feet to the ground and moving with harmony. To hear a true Sama’a will excite the inner state changing from one state to another state. From the point of view of mysticism, Sama’a is the way of connecting oneself to the excitement of inner state, reaching a higher state, empowering and enlightening the soul.”
--Javad from Sama’a: Light of the Light of the Light
