Sufi rotation. An ancient Tibetan exercise for instantly restoring vital energy

allows you to bring the mind into a state of clarity, silence and peace, discard everything unnecessary, free yourself from any tension, from what interferes and holds you back, fill yourself with strength, and feel new resources in yourself. This is also a great way to strengthen the energy of realizing your intention. While spinning, you come to a state of presence and purity. And this is exactly the state from which you should create your life.

Before moving on to the description of the practice itself, I will tell you a little about truly magical power circling. Whirling as the main element of this practice was not chosen by chance. After all, rotation is the main movement in the Universe. Everything revolves around its centers of power. The electron is around the nucleus, the wheel is around the axis, the planet is around the star. Rotates solar system, galaxy and everything that fills outer space. A rapidly spinning energy funnel in many spiritual practices symbolizes continuous development, life-giving force, purposeful movement and rhythm. By rotating, a person creates an energy vortex, connects to the energy flows of the Universe and absorbs strength, wisdom, knowledge, which he then shares with his family and friends

Trust without checking

During this practice, one of the most important life principles- trust in the Universe, its wisdom, generosity and friendliness. While spinning, it is almost impossible to control the situation, trying to play it safe or avoid inevitable consequences. After all, in order to maintain balance, it is important to stay in the present moment, breathe deeply, feel your body and trust your sensations. The secret of sustainability is quite simple- during whirling, all energy should accumulate in the lower part of the body, in other words, your consciousness should be directed to the center of the abdomen and legs. Any upward rise of energy, that is, the appearance of fears, doubts, worries and other emotions and thoughts, weakens stability and leads to a fall. Therefore, everyone who is spinning willy-nilly plunges into a meditative state, relaxes, lets go of anxious thoughts, completely surrenders to the current situation and simply begins to spin. And every time a miracle happens! Gradually, tension is replaced by lightness, doubt by curiosity, fear by pleasure. But in general, the result is a rather beautiful, simple and at the same time effective practice, filling a person with calmness, determination to follow his path and freely achieve his goals. And this experience can be transferred to life: doing something easily, without getting hung up on difficulties and obstacles, trusting life and getting joy from what is happening.

Circling rules

  1. Women are better off twirling in long, bell-shaped skirts. Because the hem long skirt collects yin energy from the Earth and fills a woman with it.
  2. It is recommended not to eat anything two hours before practice.
  3. Before starting the practice, you should express your intention. The intention can be anything, the main thing is that it is positive.
  4. You need to spin first in one direction, then in the other direction, and the same number of times. While circling counterclockwise, right hand should be directed with the palm up - a flow of energy flows into it from above, left palm lowered down to rely on the flow of energy from below. When circling clockwise, hold your left hand with your palm up, and your right hand with your palm down.
  5. It is better to start rotating counterclockwise. Since the circling in left side works for cleansing: release negative energy, getting rid of limiting beliefs, ending outdated relationships. Whirling in right side aimed at filling oneself with new energy, strength, confidence, and a mood for accomplishment and change.
  6. If at first someone has difficulty during a long rotation, then you can start with three times in one direction and three times in the other. Next time you can increase the number of revolutions to six, nine, twelve, etc.
  7. During practice, it is important to concentrate attention on the legs or hips, the gaze is not focused on anything. Any thoughts and emotions that arise in your head while spinning reduce your stability. Therefore, as soon as you think about something, immediately lower your consciousness down. Otherwise you will get dizzy.
  8. You can choose the speed and duration of rotation yourself, based on the sensations and needs of the body.
  9. It's very good to sing while spinning. Since singing quickly removes internal blocks, and spinning becomes easier and more joyful.
  10. It is worth leaving practice gradually, slowly reducing the speed of rotation. Otherwise, you may feel dizzy and feel nauseous in your throat.
  11. After spinning, be sure to lie on your back for ten to fifteen minutes, completely relaxed. It is better to take shavasana (corpse pose in yoga)
  12. This practice has limitations. You shouldn't practice on later pregnancy, during exacerbation of any chronic disease and within a month after any surgical intervention.

In the book "Eye of Revelation" Colonel Bradford indicates clockwise rotation:

“The First Ritual,” said the colonel, “is quite simple. It is intended to accelerate the movement of the Whirlwinds. As children, we used this in our games. Your actions: stand straight, with your arms extended horizontally along your shoulders. Begin to spin around your axis until you feel slight dizziness. One warning: you must rotate from left to right. In other words, if you place a watch on the floor with the dial facing up, your hands should move in the direction of the hands."

Note that Colonel Bradford defines the "clockwise" direction as the direction in which a person rotates from left to right, regardless of his location on the planet.

Given that Bradford was in the northern hemisphere when he wrote that you need to rotate from left to right (clockwise), some people wonder whether to adapt his instructions and rotate counterclockwise while in the southern hemisphere.

When I ask them: " Why do you think we should change the direction of rotation?"

Their answer is usually along the lines of " Water in the southern hemisphere swirls counterclockwise, while in the northern hemisphere it swirls clockwise.".

However, this concept itself is based on a popular misconception, and therefore the reason for the change in direction of rotation is also not convincing.

Alistair B. Fraser Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Meteorology, Penn State University, USA, explains in detail:

"Compared to the rotations we see every day (car tires, CDs, sink drains), the Earth's rotation is almost imperceptible - only a revolution per day. Water in a sink rotates in a few seconds, so its rotation speed is ten thousand times higher than that of the Earth. This is not surprising, given that the Coriolis force is several orders of magnitude less than any of the forces involved in these everyday examples of rotation. The Coriolis force is so small that it affects the direction of rotation of water no more than the direction of rotation of a compact disc.

The direction of rotation of the water in the sink drain is determined by how it was filled, or what turbulence was created in it during washing. The size of these rotations is small, but compared to the rotation of the Earth, they are simply huge."

It is difficult to describe the Coriolis effect in more detail without resorting to mathematical equations or such complex concepts as angular mechanics. First of all, our frame of reference is: “ What we see depends on where we are" This means that we are standing on a solid surface, when in fact this is not the case - after all, the earth is a rotating ball.

Coriolis effect

In physics Coriolis effect is the obvious deviation of moving objects when viewed from a rotating frame of reference. As an example, consider two children on opposite sides of a rotating carousel throwing a ball to each other (Figure 1). From these children's point of view, the ball's path is bent sideways by the Coriolis effect. From the thrower's perspective, this deflection is directed to the right as the carousel rotates counterclockwise (as viewed from above). Accordingly, when moving clockwise, the deflection is directed to the left.

If you are really interested in a detailed explanation of the Coriolis effect, enter “Coriolis effect” into a search engine and study this issue thoroughly.

Direction of chakra rotation

Peter Kalder did not describe the direction of movement of the vortices (chakras):

“The body has seven centers, which can be called Vortexes. They are a kind of magnetic centers. IN healthy body they rotate at high speed, and when their rotation slows down, this can be called old age, illness or decline. Most quick way restore youth, health and vitality - make these vortexes rotate again at the same speed. There are five simple exercises to achieve this goal. Any of them is useful in itself, but to obtain best results all five are needed. Lamas call them rituals, and I will treat them the same way.” - Peter Kalder, edited by Alina and Mikhail Titov, “The Eye of Revelation”, 2012.

I wonder if Calder deliberately avoided mentioning the counterclockwise direction? According to Barbara Ann Brennan, a former NASA scientist and authority on human energy, healthy chakras should rotate clockwise; and closed, unbalanced ones are counterclockwise.

In her successful book, Hands of Light, she says:

"When the chakras are functioning normally, each of them will be open and will rotate clockwise to absorb the specific energy needed from the global field. Rotating clockwise to receive energy from the Global Energy Field into the chakras is similar to the right hand rule in electromagnetism, which states, what a change magnetic field around a wire will cause a current to flow in that wire.

When the chakras rotate counterclockwise, there is an outflow of energy from the body, causing metabolic disorders. In other words, when the chakra rotates counterclockwise, we do not receive the energy we need, which we perceive as psychological reality. Such a chakra is considered closed to incoming energy."

Possible influences of traditions

(a) Traditional Tibetan "trul-hor" yantra yoga

Chogal Namhai Norbu, one of the great masters of Dzogchen and Tantra, was born in Tibet in 1938. His book " Yantra Yoga: Tibetan Yoga of Movement"Published by the publishing house "Snow Lion".

"Trul-hor" means "magic wheel", says Alejandro Chaul-Reich, a faculty member at the Ligmincha Institute and an assistant professor at the University of Texas Medical School. He says:

"The characteristic trul-hor movements arose from the deep meditation practices of Tibetan yoga practitioners. Traditionally practiced in remote Himalayan caves and monasteries, the trul-hor movements are now available to serious Western students. They are a powerful cleansing tool, balancing and harmonizing the subtle aspects of your energetic dimension."

Ryan Parker specialist in Five Tibetan Rituals, is currently conducting research comparing the Five Rituals and the Trul-Hor. According to Peter Kelder in The Eye of Revelation, the rituals, like the trul-khor, date back about 2,500 years.

In his latest Comparative Table he states:

"The Buddhist 'trul-hor' presupposes the existence energy centers, rotating clockwise. Thrul-chorus is sometimes called a stimulus for the rotation of energy centers. Moreover, they begin to rotate in unison. Although this rotation can be caused in many ways, the rotation of the body is associated in a special way with the stimulation of the centers. Clockwise rotation is considered beneficial and is the suggested direction of rotation in the Buddhist "trul-hor."

(b) Pradakshina

Throughout history, Tibet and India exchanged ancient knowledge, and it is possible - but not proven - that the First Ritual may have been influenced by the practice of Pradakshina.

In Hinduism Pradakshina means the act of worship - walking clockwise around a holy place, temple, shrine. Dakshina means right, so you go to the left, with the spiritual object always on your right.

During Pradakshina, you walk clockwise around a temple, shrine, person, mountain, place or even yourself. Hindu temples even have special passages so that people can perform these movements around them in a clockwise direction.

The purpose of such circular movements is to focus or purify oneself, or to honor the object of worship.

Circling is so common that it is found in the cultures of the Greeks, Romans, Druids and Hindus. This is usually associated with a sacrifice or purification process. The interesting thing is that for all these cultures the direction of movement is always the same - clockwise!

Other interesting facts about clockwise rotation

During one of my classes, a dance teacher told me that children are initially taught to spin in a clockwise direction. Obviously, it's easier for them (although there are exceptions). He said it was well known among dance teachers - If you need to calm children down, make them spin counterclockwise. And so that activate them - let them circle clockwise!

This energetic effect is exactly what people experience when performing Ritual No. 1, as described by Colonel Bradford. It seems to me that if the lamas gave instructions to rotate clockwise, then this is how it should be!

Who practices counterclockwise rotation

However, I am familiar with a certain Marina who rotates counterclockwise due to a life-threatening health condition that she is trying to correct. She is very committed to meeting her body's needs, as you can read below:

"According to Qi Gong and traditional Chinese medicine, clockwise movement speeds up life processes by increasing the speed of movement of the chakras to the original. Moving counterclockwise slows down the chakras. Most ritual practitioners want to speed up chakras that have slowed down due to age, weight, etc., because it is logical that they rotate clockwise. However, one day, during morning prayer I realized that in my case, chakra acceleration will only have Negative consequences, since the chakra affecting my lungs is unable to accelerate! So I started spinning counterclockwise and soon noticed that other rituals became easier to perform!”

To summarize, until documents or teachers are found, all attempts to understand the motives of Ritual No. 1 will only be theoretical. Therefore, you should do what you personally feel is good for you!

How about science? — According to science, it is believed that everything revolves around its centers of power. An electron around a nucleus, a wheel around an axle, a planet around a star. Rotation is the most natural movement in this world.

Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi once walked through the mint market. I thought about my own things, looked at the twisted sheets of copper, listened to the hammers hitting the coins, and suddenly realized that everything in the world was rotating.

Out of joy, he began to spin right in the middle of the market square, and, according to legend, he was spinning for 38 hours straight. And when he finally stopped, he said: "The pole is the one that revolves around itself. The celestial spheres revolve around it"(By “pole” Rumi meant the so-called “center of power”, “heart of the vortex”).

In general, Mevlana Rumi urgently went to tell his students about the revelation that fell on him in the center of the market square. The students really liked the idea of ​​spinning. And in general, this whole story with the center of the world, which is in the heart of every person, really captivated them. Therefore, the Sufi order "Mevlevi" was urgently established - the Order of the "Whirling Dervishes" - the main practice of which was the ritual "Sema" - listening to God through rotation. Now this ritual is better known as "Sufi Whirling".

During Sema, the dervish spins with a sikka on his head - this is a felt hat symbolizing a tombstone; and dressed in tanura - white robes symbolizing the shroud of human selfishness.

The one who performs Sema - Semazen - seems to grow through the desert of his own ego, making an ascent to Divine love, and returns from his spiritual journey as a more mature and perfect person.

The dervish rotates from right to left, around his heart. As he begins to spin, he holds his hands in a cross on his chest, expressing submission to God, then his hands open. The right hand is turned with the palm towards the sky, receiving a blessing, and the left hand is turned towards the earth and people. The dervish turns into a guide of God. Thus, grace from above descends on all people present at Seme.

Sufi whirling is one of the most powerful meditations. This ancient technique evokes in a person a feeling of flight and mystical ascent.

It is so deep that even a one-time experience can make you completely different.

Such relaxation brings peace to the soul, relieves fear and anxiety. A person becomes more decisive and courageous. He sees the world differently, he has Both hemispheres of the brain begin to work. He seems to enter into a state of flow, he has the mind and insight develop, brilliant thoughts and ideas come.

Sufi whirling (or spinning) is a meditative technique that involves spinning around one's own axis for a long time (usually from half an hour to several hours).

Among people who practice meditative practices, whirling is unofficially considered the “royal meditation.” Why is this particular meditation singled out among many other techniques? The fact is that during prolonged rotation around its axis, you can only stand on your feet in a state of “no mind,” a state of meditation, when all the energy in the body is below, in the stomach and legs. This is the most stable position. If we think, worry, fear, rejoice, that is, if we have thoughts and emotions, what happens is in simple language It's called "dizzy."

The secret of whirling, or rather, stability when spinning, is extremely simple: energy (or our attention) should be in the center of the abdomen and in the legs. Then we simply won’t be able to fall - like the tumbler doll “Vanka-Vstanka”. Any rise in energy in the head, that is, the appearance of thoughts and emotions (and therefore “falling out of meditation”), reduces stability. And if after this you do not lower the energy down, do not return to a meditative state, a fall follows.

When thoughts come to you in static meditation, you can return to it again. In static meditation you can simply sit and think that you are in meditation. While spinning, you cannot “pretend” that you are meditating. One must be in a meditative state of whirling completely and continuously. When you meditate (twirl) correctly, that is, all your energy is below, the upper part of the body is free for the flow of cosmic energy to pass through. Therefore, the essence of Sufi whirling can be expressed by the formula: we stand firmly on the earth, open our hearts, let in the energy of God into one hand, let this divine energy pass into the heart and bring out exactly the same pure energy into the other hand and again release to God both the rise of strength and the state of absolute peace after meditation.

This technique can be presented as a metaphor for life. While we are spinning (samsara), we live; when we fall, life ceases. You can spin with pleasure, or with the fear that you will fall or lose control over the process. So you can go through life with pleasure or fear. But the good thing about meditation is that it first helps you learn to enjoy the process in a safe space (that is, during meditation), and then transfer it into life.

I present to your attention my article about Sufi whirling - "Circling the chakras. A new incarnation of an ancient practice" which was published in the magazine "Wheel of Life", August 2009

Now I am putting together a group for classes in this practice in Kyiv.

I am planning to spin in nature (for now in ordinary clothes without Sufi skirts), if there is a stable group, it will be possible to rent a room. If anyone wants to join, please get in touch.

WHY SPIN IN ONE PLACE?

Sufi whirling (or spinning) is a meditative technique that involves spinning around one's own axis for a long time (usually from half an hour to several hours).


The technique got its name from the Mevlevi Sufi order, founded by the Persian Sufi poet Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273), in which whirling was part of the ritual of worshiping God and symbolized unity with him. Sufis twirled (and still twirl to this day) wearing heavy skirts, which were needed to stabilize the rotation and maintain its high speed.

Among people who practice meditative practices, whirling is unofficially considered the “royal meditation.” Why is this particular meditation singled out among many other techniques?

The fact is that during prolonged rotation around its axis...

You can only stand on your feet in a state of “no mind,” a state of meditation, when all the energy in the body is below, in the stomach and legs. This is the most stable position. If we think, worry, fear, rejoice, that is, if we have thoughts and emotions, what happens in simple language is “dizzy.”

When rotating for a long time around its axis, it is possible to stay on your feet only in a state of “out of your mind”

The secret of whirling, or rather stability during whirling, is extremely simple: the energy (or our attention) should be in the stomach and legs. Then we simply will not be able to fall - like the tumbler doll “Vanka-Vstanka”. Any rise in energy in the head, that is, the appearance of thoughts and emotions (and therefore “falling out of meditation”), reduces stability. And if after this you do not lower the energy down, do not return to a meditative state, a fall follows.

When thoughts come to you in static meditation, you can return to it again. When spinning, falling out of meditation ends in a physical fall. In static meditation you can simply sit and think that you are in meditation. While spinning, you cannot “pretend” that you are meditating. One must be in a meditative state of whirling completely and continuously.

There are two meditations where falling out of the process is especially pronounced: walking on coals (if you do it wrong, you get burned) and Sufi spinning (if you do it wrong, you fall).

When you meditate (twirl) correctly, that is, all your energy is below, the upper part of the body is free for the flow of cosmic energy to pass through. Therefore, the essence of Sufi whirling can be expressed by the formula: we stand firmly on the ground, open our hearts, and let in the energy of the cosmos from above. Hence the rise in strength and the state of absolute peace after meditation.

This technique can be presented as a metaphor for life. While we are spinning, we live; when we fall, life ceases. You can spin with pleasure or with fear that you will fall or lose control of the process. So you can go through life with pleasure or fear. But the good thing about meditation is that it first helps you learn to enjoy the process in a safe space (that is, during meditation), and then transfer it into life.

WHY DO MEN TWIST IN SKIRTS?
I was asked this question by everyone to whom I showed photographs of the circling. I answer. The skirt improves the quality of rotation; you cannot spin in it slowly, as it will fall on your feet. On the other hand, the skirt stabilizes the circling process (like a gyroscope) and prevents it from deviating to the sides. Spinning in a skirt takes experience, but the results are worth it.

WHY SKIRTSALL THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW?
In Kyiv, the idea of ​​spinning in skirts of all colors of the rainbow (“Chakra Spinning”) was implemented at the Rainbow of Life School of Integral Development. The seven colors of the rainbow correspond to the seven chakras of a person, each of which is responsible for certain qualities. When choosing the color of a skirt, we choose the qualities that we want to develop or work in ourselves. When skirts of all colors of the rainbow swirl, color harmony arises, the energy of all chakras (from lower to higher) is aligned, which is a condition for the harmonious development of a person.

WHAT DOES THIS MEDITATION GIVE?
First of all, circling is unique experience being completely in the “here and now” during the entire meditation time (approximately 45 minutes). Such experience is difficult to obtain in society with all its problems, stresses and crises. As a result of meditation, a state of peace and tranquility comes to the practitioner.

When you do the same movement (rotation) for 45 minutes and at the same time try not to get lost in thoughts or emotions, you are thereby training patience, the habit of not demanding immediate results from life.

Many people are probably familiar with the situation when you start a business and it moves more slowly than you would like. In such a situation, I remember whirling, in which in order to achieve a result (a state of peace and tranquility after meditation), you need to whirl long time, without getting lost in thoughts, repeating certain movements, without thinking about the goal, but also without losing vigilance. Then the result will truly be satisfying.

To be honest, I still feel some fear of spinning. Thoughts “will it work or not?”, “what if I fall?” are still arising. How to let go of this fear? In my experience, the only way out is to trust what is happening to you. When you trust the process, spinning is much more pleasant, instead of fear you get pleasure. Likewise, by trusting life, you can enjoy all its incidents and twists and turns.

Any a difficult situation It’s easier to resolve if you feel your body. As soon as I lose my balance during the rotation, I immediately begin to breathe with my stomach and return my attention to the sensations in my body. This helps calm the thoughts and stability returns. If in difficult life situation remember the sensations in your body, relax it, the situation will seem much simpler.

During meditation, I had moments when it seemed like just a little bit more and I would fall. Then a capitulating thought arose: “Can I fall and not try anymore?” I have learned from my own experience that it is better not to fall. It is better to complete the meditation. You will fall and feel nauseous, and the fall itself is not very pleasant. If you complete the spin, you will receive satisfaction from the result, peace and fulfillment. It’s the same in any undertaking: it is better to bring it to completion by showing will and perseverance than to give in to difficulties.

ABOUT THE CIRCULATION TECHNIQUE
Circling is carried out “clockwise” or “counterclockwise”. The shoulders are straightened, the gaze is not focused on anything.

If you spin counterclockwise, the right hand should be directed palm up - a flow of energy flows into it from above, the left palm is lowered down to rest on the flow from below.

When circling clockwise, hold your left hand with your palm up, your right hand down. The fingers should be closed. If your hands are relaxed, they easily find their place in the flow.

Any meditation releases a lot of energy, so it is important to have a positive intention on where to direct this energy. Before (but not during!) meditation, you can think about some creative goal or write it down on a piece of paper, pin it to your skirt and spin it in a circle. If you do not create a positive intention, the energy will begin to dissipate; if you worry and fear a lot, fears can materialize due to the released power. Meditation (including circling) is a subtle tool that requires a conscious attitude.

To participate in Sufi whirling, it is advisable to have experience in other meditative practices that develop a state of “inner silence.” Then the circling will be more efficient.



Dmitry Rybin, class leader

Sufi whirling- one of the most ancient techniques, one of the most powerful. It is so deep that even a one-time experience can make you completely different.

Sufi whirling is an ancient practice of prayer in motion, which is based on Zikr - repetition of the name of God and aimed at purifying consciousness and realizing universal love.

Sufi whirling allows you to remove consciousness from the head chakras, promotes the transformation of energy and entry into the state of hal. There are various modifications of this technique. Whirling can be done with or without music, using mantras, without a certain concentration or with concentration in certain energy structures of the body. In the latter case, whirling can contribute to their development and improvement.

The whirling dervish is a conductor of cosmic energy; he absorbs the power of the sky and gives it to the earth, while remaining completely empty, free from thoughts, desires and needs.

The place where Sufis circle retains this energy for some time. In the old days, dervishes whirled in crowded places, clearing the space and bringing it into balance.

The job of a Sufi is to bring to the consciousness of the world one simple thing- you can dive so deep into your heart that you will see that there, inside, you are one with all life, with all souls, and extract from this source harmony, beauty, peace and strength.

The Whirling Ceremony of the Mevlevi Dervishes goes back to the inspiration of the great Persian mystic and poet Jalal ad-din Rumi, who discovered and revealed the secrets of the universe through the ecstatic dance of whirling.

Over time, whirling became the basis of the Sufi ritual of Sema (listening), which celebrates the soul's journey to God. While performing the ritual, the dervishes spin around the axis of their heart and at the same time move in a circle. Going through efforts to purify itself, the soul grows, meets the Truth and moves towards Perfection.

This practice SLOW rotations. Immersion in prayer (memory of God), associated with rotation around its axis and breathing. In the process of practice, through internal effort (!) and simultaneous release of effort, purification and immersion into the inner space occurs.

Spin with with open eyes, as little children do, as if your inner being has become the center and your whole body has become a wheel moving like a potter's wheel.

You are in the center, but the whole body is moving.

Meditation is divided into two stages- circling and resting. There is no specific duration for it - it can last for hours, but at least one hour to fully experience the whirlpool of energy.

The circle is carried out in a counterclockwise direction, the right hand is up, the elbow is raised, the left hand is down, the elbow is down. People who feel uncomfortable with counterclockwise rotation can do it clockwise. Let your body be relaxed and your eyes open but not focused, so that the images become blurry spots, become fluid. Remain silent.

In the first fifteen minutes rotate slowly. Then gradually increase the speed over the next thirty minutes until you become a whirlpool of energy - the periphery is a storm of movement, but the witness in the center is motionless.

When you spin so fast that you can't stay upright, your body will fall over on its own. Don't make this fall a result of your decision and don't try to arrange it more comfortably: if your body is relaxed, you will fall softly and the ground will absorb your energy.

When you have fallen, the second stage of meditation begins.

Immediately roll over onto your stomach so that the bare part of your navel touches the ground. If someone feels very uncomfortable while lying this way, they can lie on their back. Feel how your body merges with the earth, as if a small child pressed against its mother’s breast. Keep your eyes closed and remain passive and silent for at least fifteen minutes. After meditation, be as quiet and inactive as possible. Some people may feel nauseous during whirling meditation, but this feeling will subside after two to three days. If nausea persists, stop the meditation.

After completing the exercise, relaxation is necessary.

It also requires complete trust in the technique, complete “openness” during the exercise. Its duration is determined individually and can vary from several minutes to several hours.

One of the greatest experiences in life is when there is music surrounding you, overwhelming you, flooding you, and meditation begins to grow in you - when meditation and music meet. God and the world meet, matter and consciousness meet. This is unio mysticism - mystical unity.
