Since the purpose is to concentrate the mind, even a tiny movement is enough; indeed, even merely imagining the movement is enough, as the quoted article cites from the rishonim. <
I use my eyes (similar to what I do, with my eyes closed, during Q'dushah).

The article noted the connection between the Shomayim vaAretz "ches" movements and the 7 heavens+1 earth as well as the connection between the Arba Ruchos "daled" movements and the 4 compass points; it also noted the mandate to spend twice as long on the 4 "daled" movements as on the 2 "ches" movements and how one can do this by pronouncing the daled rafeh as "th" rather than "d."  I'm curious whether the chevrah thinks (and in the past have discussed this issue with my Rav, bcc:ed) that emphasizing the "cha" (ches/qamatz") without pronouncing the daled as if it had a sh'va na' is the way to fulfill that mandate.  Thanks. 

All the best from
