Guest guest Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Thanks, Elektra! Good idea about focusing on the thumb! I took ballet lessons as a young girl and remember focusing on a point on the wall when I spun, just as you described! And, I've been meaning to ask...when the safeties say 'spin,' does that mean to turn on two feet or try to actually spin on one foot? You can't really 'spin' unless you're one one foot, can you? So I will actually be rotating clockwise on two feet, right? Thank you so much for the suggestion!!

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Hi Claudia, When you " spin " it is not a pirouette more of a turn like a child would do to make themselves dizzy. You step one foot (right), then the other foot(left), but on the spot. Like a belly dancing spin. Or a whirling dervish!!! I do it in a one two one two rhythm. Hope this is clear, lots of love Elektra x x x _________ New Mail is the ultimate force in competitive emailing. Find out more at the Mail Championships.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Yes, perfectly, and thank you Elektra! That's how I've been doing it. Yesterday, even doing it with my eyes focused on my right thumb, I got real nauseated. Since it's the first Tibetan, I endured the nausea throughout the rest of the Tibetans. Not very pleasant. I hope it abates with time and practice, but I have a feeling that the inner ear problems I have had since childhood are going to be an issue every time I spin. However, I will NOT let it keep me from doing what I need and want to do for my K awakening! If I can quit smoking (3 months today!), I can overcome nausea!!

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Congratulations on the stopping smoking, you go there girl!!! I too gave up smoking recently, about one month. It's all about purification this year, as the world purifies herself we can all help by doing the same. My friend patti talks about this year being the year humans begin to ascend into their solar light bodies (new age beliefs, 2012) so it would make sense to me that we will all be drawn to cleanse and purify. I have noticed that many of my friends are doing the same also, giving up smoking, fasting , taking up yoga etc. Keep up the wonderful work, and hope the spinning works out for you, Much love and many blessings, Elektra x x x _________ The all-new Mail goes wherever you go - free your email address from your Internet provider. http://uk.docs./nowyoucan.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 hello Claudia, To avoid dizziness while spinning why don't you try to coordinate each spin with a deep breath " inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth " along with looking at the thumb, when you finish the spinning keep breathing through your nose and exhaling through the mouth few more times and you'll cheat nauseas and dizziness.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Hi Claudia, I may as well add my two cents to this as well! I could only spin about three times without getting ill when I first started. It took a while to get up to six and then I had to be sure something was close by for me to fall onto! hahaha! Didn't think 21 would be in this lifetime, but it did happen. I squinted my eyes so I wouldn't see too much going by. When I did reach 21 I was still falling afterwards, but then decided to try standing and deep breathing. With practice it happened. I'm happy to say there are no more problems with it...and Elektra's suggestion of watching the thumb lets me add more speed. Sooo, smile and believe! (I struggle with motion sickness in moving vehicles...maybe that is on its way out as well!) Hug.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Thank you, Marie! I will certainly give that a try! I know I have used deep breathing in the past to overcome nausea, so this makes sense! Have a wonderful day!

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Dhyana, Thank you SO much for sharing that!! It makes me feel so much better to know that I am not alone in my problem with the spinning! I am doing 6 rotations, but squinting, like you, and when I finish I keep my eyes closed, so I can't STILL see everything spinning past me, grab the mantle over the fireplace, and lower myself to the ground to recover. Good grief! Who'd have thought that spinning would take such a toll!! I'm glad to find out that 21 rotations may actually be feasible for me one day, as well. Bless you for sharing this, Dhyana!
