for a moment! Sema Ritual Story
The Sema ritual is a Sufi religious ritual aimed at communicating with God. When the dance begins, it continues to spin in one place for 30-40 minutes. This painful movement is said to be the process by which the dancer enters the world of death to reach a state of spiritual communion with God, and in this process, one feels the ecstasy of communing with God.
