No Dimensions Meditation
No Dimensions Meditation is a centering dance and a preparation for whirling. It originated from Gurdjieffian movements and lasts for one hour, divided into three stages. The first stage involves movements coordinated with breathing, the second is whirling, and the third is lying down with closed eyes for integration.
To practice this meditation: Download the audio and listen to it while following the steps below.
1. First Stage: 30 Minutes
A six-part movement repeated continuously for 30 minutes. Stand with your hands on your belly. Follow these steps:
- 1. Breathe in through the nose and bring your hands up to the heart. As you breathe out through the mouth, move your right arm and foot forward, and let your left hand return to your belly. Return to the original stance.
- 2. Repeat the movement with your left arm and foot moving forward, while your right hand returns to the belly. Return to the original stance.
- 3. Breathe and move your right arm and foot sideways to the right in a 90-degree turn.
- 4. Repeat this movement with your left arm and foot moving sideways to the left in a 90-degree turn.
- 5. Breathe and move your right arm and foot behind in a 180-degree turn.
- 6. Repeat this movement with your left arm and foot moving behind in a 180-degree turn.
Always move from your center (hara) and use the music to maintain the correct rhythm. The dance should flow continuously and build in intensity over time. If your body falls down naturally, that's okay.
2. Second Stage: Whirling (15 minutes)
Whirl counterclockwise, keeping your eyes open slightly and your arms stretched out. Allow the whirling to take over while breathing normally. Adjust the direction if necessary and slow down to finish.
3. Third Stage: Silence (15 minutes)
Lie down with closed eyes, preferably on your belly. Allow witnessing to happen, and simply observe the energy flow within you.
