I can share a lesson on sufi whirling taught by a shiekh in the 1970's which he explained is the only way to learn the type of whirling the dervishes do:
If you allow your energy to be centered in your head or left hemisphere thinking brain, you will get dizzy. If you center in your abdominal area, your gut, you will develop nausea. If you bring your full awareness into your compassionate heart and rest it there, allowing energy to flow in from the universe through your raised upturned hand and flow down through your heart and down/out through your downturned hand to bless all things on earth, not allowing your ego to grasp, the diivine energy will flow right through your heart and you will not become dizzy or tired. At the end of 5-30 minutes of whirling you can stop and bow your head and torso low, experiencing no dizzyness or falling over. One foot is more or less rooted in a particular spot pivoting more or less on the ball of your foot as the heel shifts during each turn. I was a dancer, and i didn't practice this, but i never forgot the fascinating symbolism of the dance. Let me know if you think this has merit. ❤
thank you for sharing this❤
This is awesome
i really want to meet you in person. just want to learn more about poi. i am a fire dancer too but not really good like you LOL. i like this lesson anyway thanks a lot
fuckin brilliant since 12 minute to the end!!!!!!
where are you in this video??
in 2019 i had a dream i was a whirling dervish. that got me more into sufism. these stepping patterns help me connect to how whirling is done. ill return here for my refresher course
I whirled about a half hour. I had a amzing trance feeling and it cleaned my whole mind.
Yes there are people who do it as a meditation for real
Zhikr!!! Sufis
I think youtube accidentally smoked some DMT near the 11 minute mark.
I watched this video 2-3 times and now I realised that i am watching it after eleven years
Nick, you are a fabulous and very well dressed teacher, I look forward to taking my show to the next level by watching you! Thank you thank you for this great video!

Thank you

does it matter what direction you spin, right or left
I heard you have to turn opposite the clock. Left
The spiral leads up to heaven (sorry for my bad English).
4 people don't like whirling :P
How wide should a bagua octagon be?
It's just a concept framework. It can be useful to mess around with drawing them on the ground, but it's hard to get it the exact right size for your stepping, especially since your stepping may get wider or more narrow depending on the tempo of the music and other parameters.
Better to think of where the centre of the octagon would be, and to visualize stepping around that centre in an octagon.
Again, messing around with an actual octagon can be helpful, just don't take it too seriously. It's just a framework to play with, and getting to rigid about a certain step size could backfire.
Any idea who does the track for the visualizer? That song is sweet! Yo Nik when are you coming to the states? I'd love to take a clinic or something, actually I heard you got banned, is that true?
Thank you for your tutorial lesson .
You are a very good teacher .May Allah bless you .
Cool! Now I'll search for a less male dominated tutorial.
Thank you so much! x x x
I whirled for 40 minutes and I got blisters on my feet...

You're welcome :)
Whirling is not for uniting with the divine. İt is for realising there was never a seperation. 🩵
