Meditate with Movement
Your focus in moving meditation may be repeating a mantra, your breath, how your feet feel in your shoes or on the earth, the sound of your foot on the ground, and lots more. When starting out, you should move a little slower than usual so that you can feel your anchor every step of the way
This practice is a good way to burn off excess energy if you’re extra tense. You can begin by standing with your feet apart as wide as your hip and slowly start shaking one arm and then the other one. While shaking, you could use the ‘let go’ mantra to flow with the movement.
Running is a meditation practice that can be done around your neighborhood or in the woods. You can start by breathing slowly and keeping your attention on the task at hand. Once you start running, the sound of your feet should be your anchor. As you run, let your thoughts melt away with every step and if your mind wanders, bring it back to the sound of your pounding feet.
There are so many cleaning activities that involve repetitive movement. Using vacuuming as an example, you can exhale as you bring your arm in and inhale as you extend your arm fully. Any cleaning activity that doesn’t require slouching but staying in a strong posture while keeping your body relaxed is good for meditation.
In dancing, your anchor should be placing your attention on each body part movement, starting from your feet all the way through your entire body.
Walking is a low-impact move meditation that is suitable for everyone. This practice involves walking at a slower pace around the block, in a long hallway, field, or back yard. Your anchor for this movement is the sound of your feet as.
