Whirling Meditation — music

Sufi whirl: one foot anchored, body as prayer in motion, then rest.

Music's role in this technique

Sufi-style progression builds whirl duration; stop bell must pierce trance safely. Final silence track optional—bell is critical.

Official versus unofficial recordings

Generic Sufi music without stop cue risks over-whirling. Official Whirling Meditation recording includes end signal.
