Latihan
Magically and deeply tap into your intuition
LATIHAN IS A BLINDFOLDED MOVING MEDITATION.
Yep…blindfolded!
Latihan is a somatic meditative practice that originated in Indonesia where participants move slowly into exploration of intuition and energetic connections. It is practiced amongst the Subud religious organization multiple times per week. Traditionally, men & women practice in separate spaces.
Latihan is considered a training of the spirit or a spiritual exercise. Participants are encouraged to quiet the mind, let the judgment from sight go dormant, and allow their bodies to move intuitively.
During Latihan, participants might:
Sit quietly, relax, or lie down
Move like nobody is watching
Allow spirit or energy to express itself through spontaneous activity
Some say that the experience can lead to strong feelings of release and rapture, as well as psychological and physical healing. Others say that they've felt joy and connected with their true selves during Latihan.
Why moving together matters…

“I went to my first Latihan and it was so relaxing, and a beautiful way to stop the mind chatter. It felt like I had a mind and body massage.”

“Latihan was supremely enjoyable. I was apprehensive and a bit stressed going in, mainly from a stressful weekend, and was soon calmed by the presence of wonderful people in a relaxed atmosphere. There was nervous energy from several of us, and it all went away as the instructions and expectations were discussed. The dancing started, and it was bliss from there, moving freely, however I felt enticed to. The experience was super positive, and I've been telling friends about it ever since. Looking forward to the next one!”

“I was nervous for doing something I'd never done before with people I'd never met. But the instruction at the beginning and the practice itself (being blindfolded) was very freeing and calming.”
