旋轉與翻滾

Natural Movement Actions: Spinning and Rolling

練自然禪的人，尤其是那一些剛開氣的人，在放鬆的情況下就會開始旋轉，速度也會越來越快，到最後跌落在地上。這時候當然需要師兄姐的幫忙，以維持練功者的安全。有多種不同的旋轉，有的是站著旋轉到最後倒下，倒下後繼續旋轉，變成翻滾。有的是躺下時，直接在地上旋轉。這種旋轉的動力有時候會讓人能夠滾上一個非常陡峭的山坡，看起來不可思議。其實只是內力發動的結果。曉得人類行為的人就不會覺得奇怪，不會以為是神鬼附身。其實這是修復平衡感的潛在力量。

行為學家研究發現小孩子會藉著滾動、旋轉、身體搖擺來做出幫助小孩子神經系統成熟以及強化平衡感的所謂的「暈眩輸入」（dizzying input）。對小孩子來講這是一個非常重要的感官 以及神經元運動訓練（a crucial sensory and motor skill input.）。（https://extension.psu.edu/programs/betterkidcare/news/2017/spinning

許多大人在放鬆愉快的時候也會不由自主地做出有同樣的動作。只不過大部分的成年人因為生活的忙碌已經漸漸的失去的這種本能。我們常常在電領裡面電影裡面看到一個快樂的小公主會不由自主的旋轉的起來，那時候她是快樂的，常常隨之哼著快樂的歌曲，並不會因為這樣的行為而產生了一些暈眩嘔吐的行為。歐洲很多舞蹈也都是不停的旋轉。舞者既輕鬆又快樂。

大部分的小孩子都喜歡盪鞦韆和被人家抱起來旋轉搖晃。所以行為學家也發展出一種療法就叫做 治療搖擺(therapy swings)。而旋轉（spinning）也常用來做”感覺統合治療（sensory integrative treatments），以治療他們聽力和視力的統合。 所以如果小孩子不停的 旋轉的時候，常常是因為他個人的需要，以達到他感官的修復(sensory fix) 。底下是美國檳州大學推廣中心所敘述的原文：Don’t stop the movement (不要停止小孩子這種活動）

Remember, if children incessantly spin in circles, it is because their bodies crave that stimulation. If they roll and tumble and stand on their heads, it is because they need that sensory fix. If they rock or rhythmically sway, it helps their bodies to organize and function. Create spaces where they can do these activities anytime the children need to.(記得，如果小孩子不停地旋轉ヽ繞圈圈，這是因為他們的身體渴望這樣的刺激。如果他們翻滾ヽ翻跟斗或者倒立， 這是因為他們希望得到這種官能修復。他們但搖晃和有規律的搖擺可以幫助他們身體的建構以及功能的發揮。所以我們應該都創造出這種他們隨時隨地能夠從事這樣活動的場所。)

大人在放鬆自在的時候，也常會如此。而草地，尤其是整大片的草地或者沙灘都會讓人不由自主地旋轉了起來，因為這些地方都是讓人盡情旋轉的好場所。

根據人類行為學家 Kawar, Frick, and Frack (2005)所研究, 在旋轉中，前庭內耳聽力及視力的感官群會協調運作（The vestibular, proprioceptive, auditory, and visual senses work in concert. ）， 改善人的平衡感及 步履穩健感(sense of surefootedness )。這種像在坐旋轉木馬離心力刺激(the centrifugal force stimulation),會啟動內耳的前庭系統以及耳蝸(Cochlea）的淋巴液。 這種旋轉對神經的發展是必要的, 可以幫助大腦的方向感以及注意力.。

另外有專家研究，當人在旋轉的時候，淋巴

而練自然禪的成年人，常常在旋轉之後因為整治的效果發生而產生嘔吐ヽ暈眩的情形。這是整治的過程。很多師兄姐常常在多次旋轉之後，發現原來的耳鳴不見了，聽力也變好了，甚至原來會暈眩的人，也不再暈眩了。這應該是跟耳朵裡面的絨毛得到能量，以及淋巴液的流動刺激有關。

Natural Movement Actions: Spinning and Rolling

People practicing Natural Zen, especially those newly exploring this practice, often initiate spinning while in a relaxed state, gradually accelerating in speed until eventually falling to the ground. Of course, assistance from senior practitioners is required at this point to ensure the safety of the individual. There are various spinning methods: some spin while standing and then fall, continuing to roll upon hitting the ground, while others rotate directly on the ground while lying down. This spinning force can sometimes help an individual roll up a very steep hill, appearing extraordinary but simply the result of internal force. Those knowledgeable about human behavior do not find this odd or attribute it to spiritual possession. In fact, it's an inherent power that helps to restore the sense of balance.

Behavioral studies reveal that children use rolling, spinning, and swaying to aid in maturing their nervous systems and strengthening their sense of balance, a sensory-motor skill termed "dizzying input." This article from Penn State Extension talks about this sensory input.

Spinning, rolling, and swinging are actions adults involuntarily engage in when relaxed and joyful. Unfortunately, many adults have lost this instinct due to the busyness of life. We often see in fairy tales or movies a happy little princess spinning uncontrollably, a time when she is joyful and often humming a happy song, not leading to dizziness or vomiting. Numerous European dances involve continuous spinning, leaving the dancers feeling relaxed and content.

Most children enjoy swinging on swings and being lifted to spin and sway. Therefore, behavioral experts have developed a therapy known as "therapy swings." Spinning is also commonly used in sensory integrative treatments to address sensory integration issues related to hearing and vision. So, when children constantly spin, it's often due to their personal sensory needs. The text from Penn State Extension highlights the necessity of allowing children to engage in these activities.

Adults often find themselves spinning when on large grassy areas, especially sprawling grasslands or beaches, as these places naturally encourage spinning.

According to human behavioral scientists Kawar, Frick, and Frack (2005), during spinning, the vestibular, proprioceptive, auditory, and visual senses work in unison, enhancing an individual's sense of balance and surefootedness. This centrifugal force stimulation can activate the inner ear's vestibular system and the cochlear lymph in the ear. These spinning movements are essential for neural development and can help in brain direction and attention.

Additionally, experts have studied that while spinning, lymphatic fluid moves, influencing the energy within the ear hairs and potentially leading to improved hearing and reduced dizziness in adults who practice Natural Zen. Often, after multiple spinning sessions, practitioners have noticed the disappearance of tinnitus, an improved sense of hearing, and reduced dizziness, possibly due to energy stimulation of the ear hairs and lymph fluid movement.
