Joana Saahirah moment of TARAB in Slovenia

Here´s a little teaser of something called "Tarab". I´ve heard this word applied to styles of music and dance (?!) but, as far as I know, TARAB is much wider than a dance or musical style.

TARAB is the ability to get lost in a moment and, by doing so, returning Home* - our own internal heaven which is a reflection of the Universe´s heaven.

Ecstasy, orgasm, The Flight - call it what you may. It can happen when you´re in silence, when you´re just listening to a beautiful song, when you´re bathing, making love, hugging someone, patting a cat, resting on the grass, giving thanks to Life for its incredible abundance. All that - and more - is TARAB.

Important foot note:

Spot on, rare, precious, URGENT quote to be shared. Taken from Katya Faris´s thesis.
L-O-V-E this (somehow it resumes what Oriental Dance is all about):

 "Where Western dance explodes at the climax of the music, Oriental dance implodes."
