Spindle Spinning as Meditation

Free Wellness Day Activity – Tuesday, February 13,
5:00 – 8:30 p.m. at the Crafts Center

This is a free drop-in activity – no registration required.

Spinning yarn can be a balm for the soul.
Come and pick up a spindle and try spinning in meditative reflection. Members of the Twisted Threads Fiber Arts Guild and Crafts Center spinning class will guide particpants in the spinning of yarn using the drop spindle technique.
The mechanics of spinning yarn are ideally suited to meditation, the practice of staying in the Now, being with your thoughts, yet not being your thoughts. Mahatma Ghandi utilized the spinning of yarn to soothe the mind and bring peace to the spirit. Both spinning and meditation can calm the roaring mind…and we feel that we are no longer our emotions. https://wwwheartlikeawheel.blogspot.com/2012/03/we-are-one-spinning-to-calm-roaring.html
