If you don’t like chanting mantra or watching breath in some corner – this meditation may suit you. This is one of the active (dynamic) meditations; only requirements are: it needs energy and good health.

As the name says, this meditation is the gift of Sufis to the entire humanity, and the process is simple with great results.

Before doing this meditation it is advised to have loose clothes, empty stomach and better to have wooden or soft floor, and with bare feet.

How people do it?

It is said one starts turning around oneself in anti-clockwise direction and as one turns around and around s/he raises both arm with palm of right hand facing to the sky, and palm of left hand facing to the earth. As the time goes by, slowly-slowly, one starts increasing the turning speed, and when the physical energy is totally exhausted one relaxes on the floor as much as one feels like.

I’m providing few links and a video, so that we could further explore and discuss about this technique.
