Later when I practised spinning every day which became a part of my morning routine. I observed why my threads broke; I realised the process of spinning charkha utilises a human’s left brain as well as right brain. While spinning Charkha, the right hand is on the wheel which is continuously spinning and the left-hand holds *poone* (cotton ball). >The moment your mind is distracted the thread breaks which means the individual hasn’t balanced your right and left brain accurately. Hence the entire process is stopped and once again has to commence from the beginning.
