In the rhythm of the dance
Dressed in a kimono, the Doctor Life project participants are not yet fully aware of what is so special in this dance of the dervishes, and what it can give them. The stage for a unique performance was an open area between the yurts with a great view to Issyk-Kul Lake. Concentrating only on one point, they began to whirl with musical accompaniment of one of the oldest wind instruments of the world - the didgeridoo. Slowly at first, then faster and faster.
"Try to work hard!" - Rafkhat Imanhodzhaev, the coach of mindcrafting addressed them.

Then, after catching their rhythm, the participants began to repeat after the coach: "Everything is vague! Everything is relative! I am stable! I am strong! I am resolute! I can do anything! "
According to Azamat Usupov, the addiction psychiatrist, this psychotechnics can influence the mind and change it. And if properly perform this training, you can reach a state of trance.
"Free up the resources and energy in man can only be possible in an altered state of consciousness. Dervish Dance is one of such trainings. While dancing we focus the patient’s attention, so that they become more confident in themselves. They lose a sense of fear, there is a positive attitude,"- the doctor said.
Duration of the dance, as it turned out, is not so important. Although in ancient times dervishes could whirl for hours, days, without interruption for meals.
By the way, the dance of the dervishes was originally a temple ritual and was performed as a kind of appeal to God, to receive his blessing. Today it is still common in many cultures. Its founder is a Persian poet and Sufi Rumi, who lived in the 13th century.

Our heroes finished the dance with AUM. Absolutely everyone liked the ancient dance. It has helped many of the participants to disconnect from a reality and to reach new sensations. At one point Alex felt that he was flying, so he was afraid to fall. To Ekaterina it recalled some moments from the past life.
"Guess what I used to do when I had a sober lifestyle? I had a cat, she loved to get into parcels. Once or twice she did that! And one day, I caught her in the parcel, got up and began to spin. I was spinning for a long time. Obviously, I have barely stopped myself and released the cat. It was funny the way the cat was trying to walk, couldn’t walk, that's me today, and I was in the same state as this cat!"- a participant shared.
Coaches hope that the participants will continue to practice the psychotechnics presented here even after the treatment.
