Also known as the "Tassel of Tranquility" or "The Whirl of Wholeness", this ancient technique involves twirling a small tassel attached to a string, allowing the practitioner to tap into the infinite vortex of calmness within.
By carefully balancing the tassel's rotation with one's own inner rhythms, the practitioner can achieve a state of deep relaxation, as the tassel's motion creates a mesmerizing display of spinning symmetry.
To begin your practice, start by attaching a small tassel to a string, making sure it is securely tied to a stable anchor point.
Next, sit comfortably in a chair or on a cushion, with your back straight and your mind clear.
Slowly begin to twirl the tassel in a smooth, sweeping motion, allowing your eyes to follow its movement.
As the tassel spins, focus on its rotation, letting go of any thoughts or distractions that may arise.
Repeat this process for at least 10 revolutions, feeling your inner peace grow with each passing spin.
For the truly committed practitioner, try adding a second tassel, spinning them in opposite directions for maximum harmony.
Or, experiment with different tassel lengths and weights for varying degrees of inner-peace-fulness.
And for the truly advanced, try incorporating the tassel into your meditation practice with a guided audio recording of soothing sounds, such as rain or whale songs.
