Seilung
Noun, feminine
Definition:
"Seilung" describes an art and practice form in which ropes are used to artistically and sensually bind and shape the human body. Originally stemming from the traditional Japanese art of Shibari (or Kinbaku), ropework has evolved into a global movement that encompasses both artistic and intimate, as well as spiritual aspects.
Origin:
The term "Seilung" derives from the German word "Seil" (rope) and refers to the use of ropes as the primary medium of this art form.
Features and Application:
- Art Form: In Seilung, aesthetic and often complex patterns and knots are used to adorn the body and place it in specific positions. The result is both visually striking and sensually tangible.
- Communication: Seilung is not just a physical practice but also a form of non-verbal communication between the rigger (the person binding) and the bound model.
- Safety: As it's a physical practice that exerts constraints and pressure on specific body parts, the safety and well-being of participants are always paramount.
- Sensuality: Many people engaged in Seilung describe it as a profound, sensual experience. The feeling of ropes on the skin, combined with trust in the rigger, can lead to intense emotional and physical sensations.
- Spirituality: For some, Seilung may also have a spiritual dimension, where being bound is experienced as a form of meditation or deeper connection with oneself or a partner.
- Workshops and Education: Due to its complexity and the necessity for safety knowledge, many practitioners offer workshops and courses to teach those interested in the basics and advanced techniques of Seilung.
