Before reading this article, you may want to read up on the Whirling Dervishes and Sufi Meditation here.Those of you already acquainted with the relatively unique religious group known as the Sufis will be interested to learn that throughout much of recorded history spiritual leaders have claimed spinning or whirling as a key to finding insights and knowledge otherwise unavailable to the conscious mind.
Just listen to this description!
Many people who use binary beat exercises like Hemi-Sync or iMusic describe seeing a type of "Vessel" around their bodies which form the shape of a Star Tetrahedron, also known as a MERKABA (In ancient Egyption - Mer=rotating light, Ka=spirit, Ba=human body). This word literally means "Chariot" and/or "Throne of God" in Hebrew and is used by orthodox Jewish and Kabbala practitioners alike to describe this very same shape. This is also very commonly displayed in 2-D as the Star of David. You can check out the Merkaba pictured below.
Many Gurus and Yogis, including OSHO, have recommended whirling or spinning a few times a day as part of an enhanced meditation regimen.
Spin plays such an important role in the universe, that it is amazing how often it is overlooked in scientific experimentation. All things in nature, ranging from the orbits of the planets to the electrons of atoms have a precise velocity and direction of spin, and each of these events has a proportion and correlation to the next event, thus unfolding an eternally evolving reality we call perspective.
I have found that meditating while picturing what Buddhists refer to as the Dharma Wheel, or any spinning wheel for that matter (precise design seems to be of little consequence), is quite helpful when I need to arrive at a deeper level of focus and concentration.
Many scientists and researchers have started to realize the power of spin and its influence over the energy density of matter. Check out this awesome interview with William Henry!Spin's Relationship to Phi
Phi describes the ratio known as the golden spiral, a spiral that can be viewed at infinitesimally different perspectives, yet look identical at every level. This variety of spin can easily be witnessed in the arms of spiral galaxies, which the milky way happens to be. Phi is also used to derive the icosahedron which is the fundamental shape inside the Merkaba.
There are many more incidences where Spin, Phi, and the Merkaba coalesce, but I will leave it up to you to find them for yourself.
