Today, I would like to introduce a very effective method of meditation called Dynamic Meditation. It is sometimes also known as Rhythmic Meditation or Mahasati Meditation. It is a method that uses a sequence of hand movements to focus the mind, very different from the typical way of which stillness is the keystone.
I have tried it and find it highly suitable for the urban dwellers since you can really achieve the stillness of the mind in a shorter time than the conventional methods. There is less time wasted on the mind wandering during practice.
Someone even did a University Thesis on this method of meditation.
It is a way that is simple to learn and practise.
The following links will provide you the necessary background knowledge as well as the instructions:
