If its the whole ceiling, I would drywall it and start over.
If you are talking about a patch, Knock off the loose plaster back to where its securely attached to the lathe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVj1uYAfMuQ
As to the final coat with the swirls, you are going to have to practice on some cardboard or drywall scraps and when you feel you've got the pattern down, go for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMWtwmT_prg 12:45 for texture
It’s easy when you put plaster on a putty knife turn your hand half way then lift it does the same thing
Or you can buy Hommax texture in a can at Lowes. Works like a charm, just be sure to practice with it on a piece of cardboard.
