Whirling🔗

Whirling is usually done in an anti-clockwise direction, with the right arm held higher, palm facing upward, and the left arm lower, palm facing downward. If you are uncomfortable whirling anti-clockwise, switch to clockwise. Whirling can be practiced for hours – for as long as you feel comfortable. But you will need to whirl for at least an hour to experience the 'energy whirlpool'.

Start with whirling slowly. Let your whole body be soft and unresisting. As you whirl, the passing images will become blurred.

Let them flow past. Don't try to focus on anything – it will make you dizzy or nauseous. For the first 15 minutes, go really slow. Then build up speed over the next 30 minutes. After 45 minutes or so, you will feel as if the whirling has taken you completely over.

There will be action and movement on the periphery of the circle, but at the center will be stillness.

You will feel as if you are a witness to all this action, not a participant in it.
