How do you feel when you spin???

Is it just me but I am so happy to spin? I used to see people in the park spinning fire and thought how cool they were, never knowing that one day that would be me! Gotta love this site.

Sadly I haven't spun for about 2 months. I've been starting to lose enthusiasm for it. Maybe I'm out of tricks and need a new toy? But that involves money that I don't have at the moment.

I used to feel really powerful and that I was actually something when I spun. I felt proud and content too.

Abandoned, it happens to all of us sometimes mate. You just need to keep at it and it will be fun again

Laya, when I spin I feel contented as well.
Depending on what I'm spinning to, or if I'm practicing moves, I may also feel relaxed, or pissed off if I can't nail one perticular move.

Ah, but when you are working on that new move and you can just see it around the corner, building up to it and seeing the new possibilities, its better than meditation

I get angry wen i cant get a move and throw my poi down.
Then 5 mins later i come back, say sorry, kis them and try again.
I usualyl feel relaxed when i spin...ceot for that stupid move...

Spinning amplifies what I'm currently feeling. If I'm happy, I'll spin fast and wrap to the beat (glowsticks =P). If I'm feeling sad, my arms will tend to to expand and I'll flow to the feeling of my own tears/inner demons. If I'm mad, it's fscking BURNINATION time with the fire poi.

Yeah, I'm mental. Poi is my release.

I would be so happy when I twirled. Nowadays I have lost the urge to do it, I guess it's partly because I have no one to spin with.

That can lower the enthusiasm more then you think.

i loooooovvvvvveeee spinning, esp. fire spinning, if i've got my mp3 player i slip into another world...as long as i know no one else is watching me that is, then i just can't seem to get the same flow of things. any hints to overcome this?

:ditto

But currently ive only been pissed off. Which seems to have become my continuous mood.

i find that i sorta become separate from the world, in that i can spin anything i can do without really thinking, and it gives me time to think, but then i try to do something i'm not too fluent with, and when i get hit with my poi, it brings me back to my surroundings.

When I spin I feel ....I dont know...tis hard to describe... kinda elevated and elated but when it all goes to plan I jump around a lot going "Yeah take that wooohoooo" cause... I'm a tad bizarre..
And woo havokist is that Raven from TT I see there?

i love it when im spinning, specially when a good song comes on and i try to perform to it.

yeah, i cant remember which episode it's from but it's from the first series and i sorta inverted the colours

slightly i know...

i feel dead sexy :P

wen i spin i feel relaxed, its like all worries are forgotten

i just space out - even when im trying to do a move i cant do yet i just sorta loose focus and keep trying - either that or i clobber the back of my head but i tend to stay pretty spaced. unless im spinning with pigeon when i just laugh a lot :P

cainebaby - if you just try to forget they're there - maybe focus on your hands or something in the distance tends to work

try spinning in a semi public place (like your front garden) where people arn't going to be watching you specifically.

I feel powerful and when it's to music I feel funky and . It's unusual for someone my age (52) to be spinning anyway so I feel like I'm in touch with good life things. I feel mentally alive when I'm spinning on my own and trying to figure out some new stuff. When I'm at a party or something I spin sometimes cos I know people like to watch and then I can feel a bit cut off from people. (Suits me when I am in a shy phase ). When I'm spinning with other people I can feel a bit sad that I'm such a slow learner!!!!!

I feel an intensity when i spin, i go at such a fast pace the world around me becomes a blur of fire and freedom, its a feeling i can only get when i spin

I feel so safe. Like I could spin in (insert a really bad scary place) and nothing could harm me.

No one wants to bother someone spinning fire.

I have only ever spun for me. it is an Escape.

practice spinning can be fun but...
There is somthing almost magical about spinning fire... it both grounds and elates at once.
