What is Whirling Drum Meditation

“Whirling Drum Meditation” is a form of dynamic meditation that quiets the incessant mind through intense concentration and physical control.

Created by Drumming artist Kissii, Lee from Hong Kong @ kissiiandojo : Its concept is inspired from Sufi whirling meditation, where the meditator uses a minimalist steady rhythm, repetitively cycling between revolution (the meditator revolves around the drum) and rotation (the meditator spins on their own axis) to strike the drum. This movement mirrors the relationship between the Earth and the Sun. Throughout the process, music with a clear rhythm serves as the backdrop, providing both atmosphere and tempo constraints.

“Whirling Drum Meditation” lasts about 30 minutes without interruption, followed by 15 to 30 minutes of silent stillness.

True meditation allows everything to be as it is—without direction, goals, or methods. However, whirling drum meditation introduces a conscious focus—with direction, goals, and methods—creating a paradox.

《旋鼓靜心》共修

《旋鼓靜心》是一種動態靜心，透過高度的集中與身體控制，讓喋喋不休的頭腦安靜下來。

由香港擊鼓藝術導師- 李子建老師創作 : 其概念源自於蘇菲旋轉靜心 (Sufi whirling meditation)，靜心者運用極簡的固定節拍， 反覆循環以公轉（靜心者圍繞鼓旋轉）加上自轉 （靜心者自我旋轉）的肢體律動形式擊打鼓面，就像地球與太陽的運動關係，過程中配合具有明確節奏點的音樂，提供了背景氛圍和速度的限制。

長達約30分鐘的旋鼓靜寂心，中間沒有任何中斷，結束後會進行15 ～ 30分鐘的靜默時間。

真正的靜心允許一切如其所是～沒有方向、沒有目標、沒有方法。但是旋鼓卻是一種有意識的專注形式 ～有方向、有目標、有方法。旋鼓寂心創造出一種矛盾處境。
