i'm curious as to whether anyone else here does or has done ecstatic dance. for me, it's definitely a religious experience, and it doesn't require drugs. i did it at raves, i did to disco music at the 40watt in athens ga. i have this weird idea where i'd like for sui generis american buddhism to adopt ecstatic dance, which only a few theravadans in sri lanka do now.

I consider all dancing like this. But drugs do help.
how do you feel when you do it? do you feel the unity and cosmic love like i do?

I think first I feel more of a oneness. I have staked out my little area and dont give a fuck about how I appear to others. But more generally yes, unity with others doing the same. Cosmic love, no. I dont think there is such a thing but I understand how someone more spiritual would equate the two.
