🌀 Helpers against dizziness and nausea 🌀

The most asked question I get when it comes to whirling is, if I don’t get dizzy. And I don’t anymore.

In whirling it is important to listen to your own body, to the information it gives you and to the possibilities it inhabits:

1. The erect and extended body: Whirling with a straight but loose spine (as if you were hanging from the earth) helps you to open up and to relax into the movement.

2. The sensation to feel your feet on the ground and therewith the ever-present grounding through the gravitational force. This is also helpful when you think you loose the sense of where you are.

3. Breathing: To actively breathe is vital for the whirling practice. Especially if you intend to whirl for a long/er period of time. Rhythmical breathing is helpful here as it supports the repetitive movement of whirling.

On Sunday, October 26, we will have the great and generous support of .mukdad and his oud for our whirling session.

Whoever has made it to us in June knows that THIS is an extraordinary opportunity to go in and enhance ones own journey with/in the realm of the collective (energy).

Let's get together on the 26th and whirl in peace and solidarity as humans among humans!

🌪️ The session preceeds an introduction to whirling (2-4pm) for those who haven't whirled before.🌪️

🌪️ Der Session geht eine Einführung ins Drehen voran, für alle Interessierten, die sich noch nicht gedreht haben.🌪️
