TRANCEDANCE IN MIRROR CENTRE
The following experience was described by a Golden
Altai UniverSynergy Arts student, after experiencing a TranceDance
workshop in Amsterdam:
|
Today a group of very enthusiastic people gathered
in one of the big and beautiful rooms in The Mirror Centre in
Amsterdam. All were very excited as they were going to have a very
unusual afternoon.
A great Master of Golden Altai was going to
initiate them into the secrets of magical dance. Today they would
learn how to wake up the energy of Kundalini and how to direct it
upwards, so it would open the most important qualities of a human
being, which are needed to function harmoniously in all levels of
life.
A lot of people had gathered and all of them were
anxious to experience new and broader states of consciousness.
But these experiences weren't going to be given
away for free, it soon turned out. In order to raise our energy, it
was first essential to make a firm and strong energetic base. Our root
chakra had to be filled with the strong energy of the earth. People
danced the earth dance, until they were covered with sweat, to fill
every muscle and every bone with fresh energy.
The Master was carefully monitoring the energy in
the room, directing us to move in special patterns that allowed us to
accumulate the energy more effectively. The people, all eager to
learn, soon danced across the room making small trains of two or three
persons while chanting the mantra "Ha!" with every firm step
they took. This method allowed us to connect our base chakras with
each other, which in turn allowed us to combine our powers.
Then we made two concentric circles. The one in
the middle was made out of the male members of our group while all the
women were dancing opposite them in the outer circle. This special
setting allowed the female and male energies to climb higher and
higher.
We stopped for a brief moment and did some
exercises to make our spines lean and strong, ready to conduct the
energy of Kundalini upwards.

Increasing sexual energy
|
The Master was proudly observing the big effort
all of us were making, but the spirits said that even more effort was
necessary to raise the energy higher to sexual energy. For this we sat
down, forming a long train of people, sitting between each other's
legs. By bending back and forward with rhythmic breathing we were
creating an energy pump, allowing us once more to profit from the fact
of working together towards a common goal.
We danced with other people. We danced with people
of the opposite sex. This made the sexual energy raise more and be
stronger, to be complete. After this the energy was ready to enter our
third chakra, connected with our vital bodies.
After several minutes of dancing the dance – the
fire and activity – our vital bodies were strong enough to be
detected. In couples, we were able to feel the borders of this
egg-shaped energy body. One of us was being observed, and hissed in
defense like a cat to a dog; as that was happening, we were able to
feel the changes in the borders of the egg.
This was most interesting, as you could feel how
the energy became more spiky and a lot less inviting. This was an act
of astral self-defense, an art that can be learned in more detail in
the school of Astro Aikido.
Someone who controls and protects his vital energy
will always be successful and protected, as this energy is the very
source of those qualities.
After this, the Master divided the group in two.
Each group connected their vital fields and we tried to approach the
other group without breaking the common field. Both groups seemed of
equal strength, and thus it was not possible to approach each other
within three meters; a strong energetic wall was clearly
"sense-able" for all of us.

Spirit of gratitude and love
|
Finally, the spirits said the energetic base was
strong enough to open our hearts. For this to happen, we were walking
towards each other with the feeling of gratitude in our hearts as if
we had already received what we wanted. We asked our brothers and
sisters to give us their amulets, or socks. We experienced that in a
lot of cases, it was almost impossible to reject such a soulful
creature that was applying to us so sweetly, and many of us
experienced the vibrations of love from the gifts that were now
hanging around our necks and covering our feet. The energy of
thankfulness has influence on our partner. It is very difficult to
reject whatever we ask.
We continued in this most precious energy, by
sitting on the floor with a straight back and remembering things in
life that we are very grateful for. It was like opening the windows of
our being and allowing the drafts of bliss to enter our most inner
core.
I felt like I had been locked up in a self-made
box of hardship and suffering and, while uttering my thankfulness,
those walls were dissolving in bliss and waves of harmonious energy.
Every breath became an object of my thankfulness until everything grew
silent and all that was going on was the process of melting in divine
bliss.
We lay down on the floor and, guided by the magic
music, we experienced once more how the energy climbed from our
coccyges all the way to our crowns. Some people started coughing,
helping to clean their bodies as to receive the energy as well as
possible. Others allowed their bodies to sing and twist, as the energy
was showing the direction it wanted to rise through the bodies.

Child-like joy
|
After this very intensive experience, we were like
children and full of wonder. We discovered our way into the great
unknown world. In less than no time, people were able to shake off the
last pieces of their serious adult lives and were joyously engaged in
tickling and pillow fights.
The Master was laughing until his belly hurt and
he invited us all to laugh with him and so we did. Soon the room was
filled with laughter and the most funny thing of all were the
intermezzos of seriousness that kept coming over us over and over
again – to be serious is such a hilarious thing!
I experienced it as a very unnatural frozen state
while all of life is flowing and changing all the time. You laugh, you
flow, you understand. When you are serious, you freeze and you do not
understand what is happening at all.
It was time to finish our lesson. We had danced
for several hours and the effect was astonishing. Shining faces lit up
the room as we thanked the spirits for all the beautiful experiences
we shared.
We thanked the Master and each other, with the
hope in our hearts to meet each other soon again in Golden Altai for
more wondrous adventures. We said goodbye.
