Do you do 99 spins at once or 99 is total number of spins during a day.
I somehow cannot get past 20 at once, anyone has tips?

99 at once.
My tip is to start at 33. Once completed, clasp hands together as if praying in front of your chest to promote balance so you don’t fall over, or sit down if that’s easier. Once comfortable at 33, try to add more rotations gradually based on your comfort level. Try to make it a goal to go from 33, to 66, then 99.
As I mentioned, I started in 2016. I too had a hard time getting to 33. But still kept at it at least 6 days a week, each morning before I start my morning routine.
I have fallen over a few times so be sure you have space around you, lest you accidentally flail into your furniture and risk breaking yourself or your things.

I do 33x3 sometimes twice a day counterclockwise or clockwise depending on how my core is feeling...
I started a couple of months ago (when a discovered the Cass world :) ) watching this video helped me for inspiration in the beginning
And I do my swirls with that song Tear Drops from Sheer Sofer....I guess the trick is surrendering.... the more I try to control the swirls it gets harder....
Oh...for me it works better with arms on a 90degree angle (same as Tibetans do) but usually change positions...tilting the head to the side is a no-no so far....

En principio, cuando experimenté los giros luego de leer este hilo, sentí un poco de inseguridad por falta de información. En donde vivo hay mucha población afro y tienen ciertos cultos, no sé diferenciarlos porque dentro de su religión también tienen sus variantes. Hay muchísimas personas que participan y su fiesta principal es el día dos de febrero (aquí en uruguay) celebran a una entidad que llaman Iemanja ,diosa madre y protectora y todos los años se congregan a lo largo de la costa de la playa Parque Rodó,para rendir homenaje y hacer sus pedidos y hacer sus ofrendas... Es bastante masivo el encuentro. Jamás entré a alguno de esos lugares que ellos lo llaman "el templo". La persona que dirige esa ceremonia es llamado "El Pae o pai" o " La mae" si es una mujer. Generalmente el llamado "pae" es homosexual porque dicen que se le "incorpora" muy bien una entidad femenina que veneran. Y en sus sesiones hay percusión, cantos,danzas y Giros. Hablan con tipos muertos y también con entidades de más nivel. Según lo observado es un culto que trabaja con fuerzas de servicio a sí mismo. Hacen "trabajos" para que les vaya bien en algún aspecto de sus vidas . Hacen rituales para obtener la pareja deseada, riqueza, salud, etc... Buscan obtener un beneficio propio. No estoy informada sobre esta religión, o sea, como haya sido en sus orígenes. Quizás sea una distorsión y en su forma primitiva tenga aspectos más de servicio a los demás. No lo sé. Conocí personas que estaban involucradas activamente en este culto y la observación que realicé está reflejada en la descripción de más arriba. Todo esto está visto desde afuera, desde la perspectiva de los que no participan de ese culto. Desconfiamos de eso.
Cuento sobre esto porque el único antecedente que conocía sobres giros cuando leí este hilo, era lo que acabo de escribir sobre este culto afro muy extendido aquí, sobretodo en Montevideo .
Recuerdo que al finalizar la lectura , giré y lo hice con los brazos extendidos, la palma de la mano izquierda hacia arriba y la mano derecha hacia abajo. Giré 99 veces de una sola vez. Al terminar el giro puse mis palmas juntas a manera de rezo a la altura del pecho (Giraba mucho cuando era niña y por supuesto que los adultos no dejaban hacerlo por las caídas y golpes y por las náuseas que me provocaba. En edad adulta nunca se me ocurrió hacerlo) Me sorprendió. No sentí molestias. Cuando le conté a mi esposo (Bernardo) el me dijo: " Hay que tener cuidado con eso porque no sabes a qué energías estás llamando". !Justamente por lo que les conté , asociamos los giros con esa actividad que no es de nuestro agrado.Es evidente que es una especie de "herramienta" para abrir paso hacia otros planos. Como un portal quizás? Pasó el tiempo y seguí atenta a este tema. Hace unas noches encontré otro hilo donde las personas del foro se estaban preparando para un evento lunar que tiene una periodicidad de 19 años y todos hablaban sobre los giros. Bueno, prontamente comencé 3x33 porque los C recomendaron esa manera. Con más información lo hice creo que dos o tres días seguidos y los días siguientes sentí que estaba más centrada, fué una buena experiencia. Ahora siento confianza y esto también creo es de importancia. Elijo música inspiradora y al finalizar recito la oración del alma,agradezco y me ofrezco para el servicio. Seguiré experimentando, estudiando y observando ...

I remember that at the end of the reading, I turned and I did it with my arms outstretched, the palm of my left hand upwards and my right hand downwards. I turned 99 times at once. At the end of the turn I put my palms together as a kind of prayer at chest height (I turned a lot when I was a child and of course adults did not let do it by the falls and blows and nausea that caused me.

It's interesting you mention that energies are being called from spinning, as this is something I've been thinking about lately when I perform my morning exercises and it's opened me up to finding better control of my thoughts.
I realized as I spin, I'm usually transfixed on people in my life (like family, old/ex friends, work acquaintances, & internet persons) who frustrated me for various reasons and it's uncontrollable, almost like a motor reflex thing that happens when I start to spin.
As I'm going, I think about how I want them to fall from their clouds of ignorance and become more grounded in reality, perhaps we can finally mesh better! Perhaps they could finally understand who I am! etc...
Since becoming more mindful of this 'motor reflex thing that happens when I start to spin' I've been changing the thoughts from being frustrated to blissfully "letting them go". I started to realize that I'm the one who has to fall from said cloud.
Now as I spin and even do the other exercises, I think about events that I wish to experience in my future. Like moving forward with personal or professional projects, or thinking about a possible vacation or trip I've been wanting to take with my family. Sometimes I just think about the beach and underwater swimming.
I'm glad I've been doing this, as I suspected that those feelings and thoughts weren't leading anywhere and that my new ones are.

Es interesante que mencione que las energías se están llamando desde el giro, ya que esto es algo en lo que he estado pensando últimamente cuando realizo mis ejercicios de la mañana y me ha abierto a encontrar un mejor control de mis pensamientos.
Me di cuenta de que, mientras giraba, usualmente me sentí paralizado con personas de mi vida (como mi familia, viejos amigos, conocidos del trabajo y personas de Internet) que me frustraron por varias razones y es incontrolable, casi como un reflejo del motor que sucede cuando empezar a girar.
Mientras voy, pienso en cómo quiero que caigan de sus nubes de ignorancia y se vuelvan más enraizados en la realidad, ¡tal vez podamos finalmente encajar mejor! ¡Tal vez finalmente puedan entender quién soy! etc ...
Desde que me volví más consciente de este "reflejo motor" que ocurre cuando empiezo a girar, he estado cambiando los pensamientos de estar frustrado a felizmente "dejarlos ir". Comencé a darme cuenta de que soy yo quien tiene que caer de dicha nube.
Ahora, mientras doy vueltas e incluso hago los otros ejercicios, pienso en los eventos que deseo experimentar en mi futuro. Como seguir adelante con proyectos personales o profesionales, o pensar en una posible vacación o viaje que he querido hacer con mi familia. A veces solo pienso en la playa y en nadar bajo el agua.
Me alegro de haber estado haciendo esto, ya que sospechaba que esos sentimientos y pensamientos no conducían a ninguna parte y mis nuevos sentimientos.

A Possible Role of Prolonged Whirling Episodes on Structural Plasticity of the Cortical Networks and Altered Vertigo Perception: The Cortex of Sufi Whirling Dervishes
Abstract
Although minutes of a spinning episode may induce vertigo in the healthy human, as a result of a possible perceptional plasticity, Sufi Whirling Dervishes (SWDs) can spin continuously for an hour without a vertigo perception.This unique long term vestibular system stimulation presents a potential human model to clarify the cortical networks underlying the resistance against vertigo. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the potential structural cortical plasticity in SWDs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 10 SWDs and 10 controls were obtained, using a 3T scanner. Cortical thickness in the whole cortex was calculated. Results demonstrated significantly thinner cortical areas for SWD subjects compared with the control group in the hubs of the default mode network (DMN), as well as in the motion perception and discrimination areas including the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), the right lingual gyrus and the left visual area 5 (V5)/middle temporal (MT) and the left fusiform gyrus. In conclusion, this is the first report that warrants the potential relationship of the motion/body perception related cortical networks and the prolonged term of whirling ability without vertigo or dizziness.
Keywords: cortex, whirling, meditation, vertigo, vestibular, plasticity
********************
The outcomes of the present study may open a new era in the field of vertigo therapy. This is because if whirling based movement achieves inhibition of the self-perception and motion related regions such as left V5/MT, fusiform gyrus, right DLPFC precuneus and PCC and the DMN hub, then this may underline the cortical plasticity for a network of resistance to vertigo perception. Targeting these areas to inhibit by interventional non-invasive brain stimulation tools may achieve maintenance of balance when conditions of extreme spatial and proprioception information occur in addition to pathological conditions that trigger vertigo.
Mood
A possible mood enhancing effect of the defined structurally plastinated cortical areas in the present study is worth to give an attention.
In the theory of mind, the DMN activity as a self-awareness state is correlated with the neuronal representation of mind-wandering (Kjaer and Lou, 2000; Kjaer et al., 2002). This DMN is active at all times except when suppressed by other networks, stimulated by other states, and its activity is correlated with lower levels of Happiness (Killingsworth and Gilbert, 2010; Brewer et al., 2011). Gusnard and Raichle (2001) demonstrated that the goal-directed cognitive process can decrease the activity of precuneus, the core hub of the DMN or mind-wandering network of the brain. Therefore, it is theorized that prolonged periods of goal-directed cognitive processes may decrease the mind-wandering activity in the SWD’s brain because the precuneus activity has been decreased. fMRI data results from the Brewer et al. (2011) study on the DMN of the experienced meditators showed that the DMN main nodes, including medial prefrontal cortex and PCC areas extending to precuneus were relatively deactivated. Further, precuneus and PCC have been observed as thinner and concluded to be so as a response to meditation (Kang et al., 2013). In line with these results, the structural cortical thickness analysis of the two cohorts in this study showed that the experienced SWDs had bilateral thinner PCC and precuneus zones. It can be therefore be theorized that the prolonged period of decreased activity in the PCC and precuneus may result in the thinner zones in the SWDs. As the DMN activity presented thinner in the SWDs, this is likely related to suppressed mind wandering, and as a consequence, this plasticity may improve the happiness level in SWDs. These results justify further studies to clarify the potential effects of SWDs’s unique meditation on their moods and depression levels.

Hello Duyunne and Stella Marys,
I´ve just come across this message and reminded me of yours...the use of counter and clockwise walking by pagans and magicians...
Deosil – OCCULT WORLD
occult-world.com
Widdershins refers to walking against the sun and generally represents the unnatural and negative.
In the casting of a black magic spell against the occupants of a house, for example, a witch or sorcerer would walk around the house counterclockwise. Widdershins motions and movements also are used in spells to get rid of negative spells or undesirable situations. It is used in necromantic rituals (see necromancy). In contemporary Witchcraft, once a Magic circle is cast deosil, a small section of it may be opened for access and egress with a widdershins motion with a sword or athame (see witches’ tools), then reclosed deosil.
Deosil (also deiseal) Clockwise circular movement which in Magic and witchcraft is used in casting positive spells and in casting the Magic circle. The clockwise rotation is associated with the movement of the sun across the heavens and with blessings and good fortune. Deiseal is the Irish term for “a turning to the right,” or the “holy round.” Deosil dances and circuits are done not only around magic circles but around festival fires (see Wheel of the Year), holy objects such as sacred stones, crops, fields, homes and buildings. The opposite of deosil is WIDDERSHINS..."

I used to spin clockwise, but found my balance improved slightly from going counter-clockwise. I also feel better going counter-clockwise. I used to be concerned with what you're referring as Widdershins, which is why I started off going clockwise, but since coming across this session I go with how I feel. I might start experimenting with going clockwise again, but I'm more focused on effortlessly doing my 99 spins without having to pay strict attention to the number of rotations. I find that to be a bit distracting.

Duyunne,
I guess, that the point is that to keep the mind under check is as important or more than the direction of the spins, your message made me realize I was doing exactly the same thing when spinning as you were... thinking about friends...family and so on, so thank you for bringing that to my attention (link it also with the visualisation exercise on the threadmill that Laura mentions in her videos...actually after watching it I started spinning with a crystal quartz on me and keeping my head on a kind of "unwavering faith mode")
Thanks!
The March 11, 1995 kindle Transcript version, Laura’s part of speech to MUFON members give me more reasons why we need to do Spinning Exercise.
”The Cassiopaeans have talked about the fact that the DNA can be reconstructed or reconnected because it is still there, it is just broken up or ‘deactivated.’
The important elements of this process include oxygenation, Spinning or centrifuging, as well as certain activities such as meditation and gaining knowledge.”
Because the 33 number means Infinity, Infinite Power. Probably this 33 spinning is energizing to body and mind that somewhat changes person’s DNA, so adding higher frequency.
But I think, at any time a person spinning 66 or 99 time at once per day is not beneficial, because 33 number has special meaning and power.
Also, I think, just knowing infinite power in number 33 is not beneficial to the person, like some in Secret Society members or others.

I remember quite a few years ago actually, when we were children we had a large tire swing hanging from a huge oak tree at the edge of the woods where our family lived. It was on a length of massive barge rope slung up over a formidable branch sticking off of the tree. We used to wind each other up while sitting in it, like the old rubber band airplanes, until the tension provided a torque that could not be overcome.....and then "let you go". It spun us, in retrospect sometimes quite dangerously, until the ability to do anything other than hang on for dear life was achieved. Even the "winders" themselves found their roles to require a rapid escape from the accelerating human in the tire else you were tangled in a mess of bruises and cuss words.
I remember plenty of "sessions" where literally other states of consciousness were achieved by doing this and specifically the laughing faces of my brothers and childhood friends from the neighborhood, and the state of still not being able to communicate with them. Then we would talk about what we saw in the time it took to be able to function in the "normal" world again. Little shaman games....ha!
Come to think of it we were always fascinated by things that made you dizzy. I know that I have been for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories include spinning as a child until too dizzy to stand. This is a very interesting "thread" of stimulation to me right now. Connections, reflections, and continued directions......My elder relatives would say "that explains some things buddy"

@3DStudent ,
Is there a reference for that suggestion? I am just curious. I just bring my hands together in front of me anyway so it does not affect how I would do it.
