(I was remembering how as teenagers we used to sit on a roundabout in the playground and go round and round and round whilst reading poetry out loud.... hmmm)

Dervishes of course use this as a short cut to altered states of being.

My Sightlines thought is the bullroarer. Round and round it goes. The sound is not unlike the video clip in Jackies' post below. Plus the rushing hot heartbeat in the ears.
