Dance of Oneness
Discover healing, transformation, and joyful liberation through sacred dance with this empowering guide to embodied spirituality.
Most of us live in our heads and miss out on experiencing our bodies as a portal to the present moment and true happiness. In this guide, Banafsheh Sayyad offers a transformative healing path to reconnect with yourself as a being of love, ground your spirituality in your body, and embrace ease, joy, and freedom.
This work isn’t about professional dance techniques. Instead, Sayyad shares how dance can help you honor the body as the physical expression of the miraculous, wise, and full of wonder. Through her healing modality, Dance of Oneness—a fusion of Taoist, Sufi, and Divine Feminine wisdom with flamenco, tai chi, Persian dance, and Sufi whirling—Sayyad guides you to release blockages, activate your light body, and rediscover your vitality and purpose. For the first time in a book, readers are initiated into whirling as a portal to higher dimensions and profound transformation.
“Dance of Oneness invites you to live your life as a dance that brings you into unity with all, through embodied love,” offers Sayyad. “True embodiment is about experiencing yourself as a channel of light to help heal the earth.” With wisdom teachings, embodiment practices, insights from Rumi’s inspirational poetry, and Sayyad’s own story out of Iran and into the freedom that dance spirituality gave her, Dance of Oneness invites you to open to the flow of love and embrace a soul-filled life.

I really enjoyed this book. Sayyad shares her personal journey from her upbringing in Iran and her path to using dance as a spiritual practice to overcome the trauma of exile. Highly recommend.

This book is part dance memoir and part practice guide. It wraps wonderfully Flamenco, Tai chi, Gurdieff's teaching and Sufism in one of the best books on dance I've ever read. Because it's a personal story, a story of perseverence and liberation but also because it's unexpectedly wonderfully written.
To me this work and this search for the sacred dance has been a revelation. I read in awe the author's superb and profound understanding of flamenco and I have learned so much about Sufi, all through Rumi's words and the author's experience.
I am grateful to have received this book in order to share my view on it and I can't recommend it enough, it's an engaging and such a fascinating read.
