Some history: The practice of Tanoura or Sufi whirling is a type of meditation that originated among Sufis over 700 years ago. The word “Tanoura” may refer to the dance, dancer, or the large skirt used in the performance.
Sufism is the spiritual tradition known to many Westerners through the mystical poetry of Rumi and Hafiz. Sufism is a mystical tradition dating back two millennia. It is generally understood to be the mystical dimension of Islam, and the practitioner of this tradition is known as Sufi or “Dervish.” The word is Persian in origin and literally means “the sill of the door”, but it is used by the Arabic and Turkish language to describe the Sufi, who is the one who is at the door to enlightenment.
