Difference between revisions of "ShiDhuk"

Shi Dhuk as practiced in the Shen Tradition is a structured discipline which has pupils proceed through a simple hierarchy of shufa, no matter what school the student studies with. However, one of the schools within the tradition - the Dha Dhuk school - begins not with posture exercises as in popular Shen Tradition Shi Dhuk, but rather with structured meditations called 'ghifa' covering a range of traditional Shen values. Although there are foreign aficionados of Shen culture who study in the Dha Dhuk school, it is almost entirely the province of the Shen.
