Turkish Bath

 

The tradition of the Turkish bath extends far back, to a time before Turks had reached Anatolia. When the Turks arrived in Anatolia, they brought with them one bathing tradition, and were confronted with another that of Romans and Byzantines, with certain local variants. The traditions merged, and with the addition of the Moslem concern for cleanliness and its concomitant respect for the uses of water, there arose an entirely a new concept, that of the Turkish bath.

The Hammam ceremony is started by wearing " pestemal ". Then you can lie on the heated marble slab to sweat. Kese and massage applications are applied by tellak (rubber). Dead layer of skin is cleaned by kese application and it provides your skin breath easily. It hastens blood stream and relaxes body. A Turkish Hammam also features a steam room.

Hammam is the best cleaning and bathing place for cleaning which will be done with hot water and soap on condition that not staying a long time. The body sweated in hammam, is bathed by rubbing with a foam rubber or cloth, and this application hastens your blood stream and makes you relaxed.

Semah (Dervish)

 

Sema is is the inspiration of Mevlânâ Celâleddin-i Rumî (1207 - 1273) as well as part of Turkish custom, history, beliefs and culture It symbolizes in seven parts the different meanings of a mystic cycle to perfection (Ascension - Mirac). Contemporary science definitely confirms that the fundamental condition of our existence is to revolve. There is no object, no being which does not revolve and the shared similarity among beings is the revolution of the electrons and protons in the atoms, which constitute the structure of the smallest particle to the stars far in the sky. As a consequence of this similarity, every thing revolves and man carries on his life, his very existence by means of the revolution in the atoms, structural elements in his body, bye the circulation of his blood, bye his coming from the Earth and return to it, by his revolving with the Earth itself.
However, all of these are natural, unconscious revolutions. But man is the processor of a mind and intelligence which distinguished him from and makes him superior to other beings
Thus the whirling dervish or Semâzen causes the mind to participate in the shared similarity and revolution of all other beings.
