In addition, dance is a doorway to the soul or `spirit within', and to dance oneself into a state of trance is to connect completely to the healing powers of spirit. It is from these `shamanic' perspectives that some approach The Trance Dance Experience.
Electronic music is modern shamanism; it is the evolution of ritualized drum circles. The music is a key that digital shamans utilize to move, inspire, teach, and heal others
Dance is an art that goes back to the beginning of all people. Across cultures and times, dance has fulfilled a basic human need for creative self expression. Whether you are a professional dancer or a passionate social dancer, dance is likely to have a special place and meaning in your life. Dancing gives us a unique opportunity to tap into our most powerful emotions, to express creativity, and to feel truly alive.
So basically, a psychedelic trance party, is kind of a modern day shamanic ritual that is being held in order to communicate the values of spirituality and oneness in the language of today’s youth. The music is a tool for higher consciousness through which we can commune with the Spirit. Our spirit world reminds us of love, compassion, respect and peace and that is the very essence of psychedelic trance music. It is up to us to keep this Vibe high and protect its purity.
The central idea of psytrance is the union between our collective tribal past and the promise of an enlightened and conscientious technological future. Merging the rational with the romantic, psychedelic trance bridges the gap between different eras of human history. People have been coming together to dance and celebrate since the dawn of time; the psychedelic trance movement simply renews this ancient ritual for the 21st century. While the music can be enjoyed as high-tech ear candy, many adherents consider psychedelic trance to be a way of life—a fundamental element of their identity.
When thought and experience happen simultaneously, consciousness transforms.
Trance Dance is the perfect catalyst.'
As we journey through our own consciousness, we are able to release fixed ideas and open to inspiration. As we step out of the routine and pressures of our daily lives, we give our soul a chance to speak; often revealing life-changing insights. By surrendering to the dance, we allow our bodies the freedom to express unconditionally – without concern for ­­­the judgements or opinions of others. In trusting our own inner journey, we allow our spirit to lead us and to guide us through the deeper places of our psyche, bringing us to a depth of self awareness and understanding.
Dance is clearly one of the earliest forms of worship, as dance and ritual strengthens the ­­immune system of the Earth. we inherently know the joy that comes from moving our bodies and the release that comes. Movement connects us with the rhythm of the universe through breath and the core elements that make up who we are and why we are here (body and soul). Basic movements are the starting point of personal expression as the inner dance is transformed into our life experience. It is a process where we access a deeper wisdom and discover inner dimensions of ourselves. Dancing and movement gets us back in touch with our essence in a very simple, tangible way. It is through which we can attain calm, peace, spiritual upliftment, self-confidence and greater physical energy for ourselves and others. The people we dance and move with become our family and our community, people we can be our true selves around. In this safe accepting, non-judgmental environment we can express
Is psychedelic trance, a ‘tool’ for higher states of consciousness, comparable to other forms such as yoga and deep meditation? How do you look at it in this aspect? Gil: Well, I think that we lived in India so long and did so many practices that we started to see in another way…. We became so Tantric that we even made partying a valid spiritual path…. Although it really is nothing new, as every tribal group since the beginning of time has practiced this ancient ritual in order to go into Trance and commune with the Spirit. We have only redefined it for this age. OM Shri Guru Dattatraya Namah !!! With so many negative roll models all around… on the TV, in the movies, newspapers and magazines… everything glorifying Babylon… we needed to come to the world and speak to the youth in their own language… so that there can be a direct Transmission and another Vision and Vibration be known. Through the Trance Dance Experience hopefully people will become more aware of themselves, their surroundings, the crossroads of humanity, and the needs of the planet…. With that awareness comes understanding and compassion!!! That is the need of the hour and the true Goa Spirit.goa gill
A number of theories have been advanced to explain the importance of percussion in ritual music in general. One line of explanation is psychoacoustic, whereby the tempo of the drum enables the Shaman to enter the desired brain wave state, which corresponds to the number of beats per second of the drum.Did you catch that? “The tempo of the drum enables the Shaman to enter the desired brain wave state....)possess your selfs with the music,,,, this was some diffrent perspectives on the trance dance experience vir cut and paste..nice nice
