Yoga and belly dance

 

Yoga and belly dance

 

This is a small temple with many "Midhana" statues inside. Agudengba came here to watch the yoga performance at the invitation of the old man.

The old man said with a smile:

Ancient India had a lot of sexual culture, such as intercourse with corpses and animals, but yoga is a movement for intercourse between men and women. Although yoga was originally a sexual exercise performed by Indian temple prostitutes, it is undeniable that yoga is indeed good for the body.

Agudemba saw the temple prostitutes performing sexual gymnastics.

Old Donkey explained on the side:

Yoga can soothe emotions and tame toughness. Take more deep breaths, and you will naturally learn to relax. Yoga is not just about twists and turns, or the difficulty of competitive movements, but about finding your tranquility with every breath. The most important thing about yoga is relaxation, balance and tranquility. Every time you practice, you should always smile, pay attention to your body, and let your body and mind breathe in purity and spit out toxins with every breath. It's relaxation, relaxation, and euphoria. It not only exercises muscles, but also stimulates various glands in the human body. Learning to breathe can extend your life. Yoga can straighten your spine and increase your self-confidence, so that you can live your life proudly.

Although the origin of yoga is surprising, it cannot be denied that yoga is indeed good for the body. Take meditation as an example. In the fast-paced life, being able to sit quietly and meditate is also a kind of relaxation for the body. Meditation is also a kind of relaxation for the body. Don't think about anything, just keep breathing abdominally.

After a while, the temple prostitutes began to perform belly dancing.

The old man said with a smile:

Belly dancing originated as a religious dance and was performed by priestesses in ancient temples during fertility ceremonies.

Belly dancing is a very sexy and coquettish dance. It is not as elegant as the national standard, nor as explicit as pole dancing. It is passionate but not excessive. It is even more enchanting and charming in the moment of shaking, and can better show the charm of women.

As for its origin, there are several theories, roughly including the following five:

Some people believe that the tradition of belly dancers dancing barefoot confirms the ancient belief that belly dance was a religious ritual. The bare feet of dancers are meant to express closeness to nature and maintain the most direct connection with the earth. The profound artistic conception of the reproduction vitality of nature and human beings.

Some people also believe that belly dance is a dance related to fertility and childbirth. Belly dance movements, especially abdominal movements, are to prepare women physically for smooth childbirth. Many abdominal movements in belly dancing imitate the abdominal movements of women during childbirth.

Before the European colonists invaded the Middle East in the 19th century, belly dancing was not called belly dancing, but was actually a folk dance from Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries. It was usually danced at festivals and wedding parties, and was danced by men, women and children. It was a social dance. Popular dance of nature.

However, in conservative Middle Eastern countries where Islam is the main belief, there is a strict tradition of separation of men and women on most occasions. Middle Eastern women will only dance at women's parties and not in front of men.

It is believed that belly dancing originated from the Gypsies in India more than 5,000 years ago. As the Gypsies migrated westward, their music and dance were first spread to the Middle East.

When the Gypsies finally migrated to Europe, a new dance - flamenco - was born there, which also explains why there are many similarities in the movements of modern flamenco and belly dance.

Another theory is that belly dancing originated from palace lust, and that belly dancing was a way for beauties in the harem to please the Sultan during the Ottoman Empire. It is said that the Sultan’s method of selecting beauties was to have the maids cover their faces with gauze scarves, leaving them bare. He danced out of his belly in front of the Sultan.

This statement is very popular among the public because it is full of legend and sensory stimulation, but in fact, this statement has the least factual basis.

All the legends about beauties in the harem performing belly dances to seduce the Sudanese King actually originated from the speculative descriptions of the Sudanese harem by the European Oriental Painting Party in the 19th century. They reflected the European colonialism's imagination and yearning for the mysterious Middle Eastern world at that time. And absolutely not the truth.

Agudemba watched the yoga performances and belly dancing performed by the temple prostitutes.

The temple prostitutes danced and sang "On the Road Home":

 

The south wind blows me gently

Send me flying on the way home

I fly happily on the road to heaven

I forgot the pain in this world

 

Blue sky and white clouds on the sky road

Like gentle waves rising and falling

I keep wondering about the destination of life

All I can think about is going home

 

The south wind sings and warms me

I'm in the middle of nowhere

Forgot one's loneliness

I saw my hometown far away

 

My tears are no longer wandering

I forgot about loneliness and loneliness

The bright stars and moon shine in my heart

The south wind has sent me flying back to my hometown

 

The flying wings keep dancing

Relax your twisting limbs

I forgot the heaviness of the years

My heart is flying freely
