I recorded it this summer in Abisko national park, 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. A magical place, perfect for a spinning meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/981+07+Abisko\/@68.3494106,0.9003566,4z\/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x45da45b5c239e841:0x4c15af5897bd2346!8m2!3d68.3495412!4d18.8312408\">Abisko<\/a> is such a beautiful spot in the world. I never get tired of it. The stillness, the vast landscape and the vegetation in the mountain birch forests and above the tree line are breathtakingly beautiful. I have had some blurry plans for a spinning meditation for a couple of years now, and just a few weeks before we boarded the train to Abisko I knew that was the place where I would shoot the spinning meditation video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the spinning meditation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The spinning meditation is a 12 minute spin-along meditation. I use a suspended spindle in the video, but feel free to use any spinning tool you like. In the video I sit, stand and walk. If there is a section you want to stay longer in you can pause the video. Or, if you want to skip a section, just jump to the next. With a little imagination you can adapt the meditation to fit your personal needs. The video is available in spoken English and spoken Swedish. Both versions have the option for subtitles in English and Swedish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here it is, or rather, here they are, A spinning meditation in English and Swedish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b26ZEFUrA3Y?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>A spinning meditation in spoken English with English and Swedish subtitles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0aWue9hIcNc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>En spinnmeditation in spoken Swedish with English and Swedish subtitles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An idea is born<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I have taught <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/teaching-at-saterglantan\/\">five day spinning courses<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saterglantan.se\">S\u00e4tergl\u00e4ntan craft education center<\/a> I have offered a spinning meditation as the very last thing we do together before everyone returns home.  I have no training in how to put together a meditation and I basically made things up as I went along. But all the students seem to have enjoyed it. Towards the end of the meditation I have invited the students to spin with their eyes closed and feel their way in the spinning. They have all managed to spin with a lot more ease with their eyes closed than they had imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"422\" data-attachment-id=\"6981\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/spinning-meditation10\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Spinning-meditation10.jpeg?fit=1344%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1344,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1632064058&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Spinning meditation10\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;A woman spinning outdoors on a suspended spindle with closed eyes.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Spinning with eyes closed isn&amp;#8217;t as hard as you may think.

After the meditation they have shared their experiences, especially regarding the section where I invite them to close their eyes. I have learned so much from their stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Location scouting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, a spinning meditation video started to take up space in my head. When we finally got to Abisko after a 17 hour train ride I took several location scouting walks around the mountain birch forest where the Abiskoj\u00e5kka stream ends in Lake Tornetr\u00e4sk. I found a cliff overlooking the stream, a higher cliff overlooking the whole stream delta and the lake, and a pebble beach with Lapporten, the Lapponian gate, majestically resting on the other shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li

I filled a metal water bottle with boiling water, wrapped the wool around the bottle and a woven seat pad around the wool to keep it as warm as possible. And it worked! I managed to shoot the video at my three chosen locations with only minor&#8230; let&#8217;s say&#8230; interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visitors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I sat at the very steep cliff over the roaring stream, combing away, I heard rustling noises in the mountain birch forest. Suddenly, literally out of nowhere, and with no owner to be found, two spitz-like dogs (j\u00e4mthund\/Swedish elkhound?) came towards me. I&#8217;m not the biggest dog fan, especially when I&#8217;m at steep cliffs over roaring streams with no one else in sight. I had nothing else to do than to stay calm and comb my little heart out. The intruders sniffed at me and my wool and lurked away behind me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"421\" data-attachment-id=\"6988\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/skarmavbild-2021-09-22-kl-13-44-25-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Skarmavbild-2021-09-22-kl.-13.44.25-1.png?fit=1934%2C1552&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1934,1552\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Sk\u00e4rmavbild 2021-09-22 kl. 13.44.25\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Skarmavbild-2021-09-22-kl.-13.44.25-1.png?fit=525%2C421&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Skarmavbild-2021-09-22-kl.-13.44.25-1.png?resize=525%2C421&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Skarmavbild-2021-09-22-kl.-13.44.25-1.png?resize=1024%2C822&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Skarmavbild-2021-09-22-kl.-13.44.25-1.png?resize=300%2C241&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Skarmavbild-2021-09-22-kl.-13.44.25-1.png?resize=768%2C616&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Skarmavbild-2021-09-22-kl.-13.44.25-1.png?resize=1536%2C1233&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Skarmavbild-2021-09-22-kl.-13.44.25-1.png?w=1934&amp;ssl=1 1934w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Stray and rude dogs at the set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a while they came back, still without owner. Perhaps I should add that in all Sweden dogs are bound to be on a leash or under strict supervision from March to August and on a leash at all times all year round in a national park. I still have no idea where they came from and to whom they belonged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dogs actually peed and pooped behind me. On camera! That&#8217;s just rude, don&#8217;t you think? I could show you clips of their crimes, but I won&#8217;t sink to their level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A spinning meditation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I shot the video I had no idea how to put together the actual meditation. I just made sure I had shots of all the steps of the spinning process and some pretty angles. During September I have explored the construction of the meditation and the narration. I wanted it to be accessible to as many spinners as possible, both beginners and experienced and with different preferences regarding spinning tools. And I wanted to offer the beauty of spinning with closed eyes. It is quite a special experience. Beauty, inspiration and exploration have been key words as I have crafted the narration of the meditation. I hope you find these aspects if you take part of the meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and did I bathe in the lake? Of course I did. Every day in either the stream (6\u00b0C\/43\u00b0F) or the lake (8\u00b0C\/46\u00b0F). Also quite meditative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li
