DON’T SKIP ON ZEN

Have you told yourself that the benefits of meditation are not for you because there is simply no way you can sit still, blank mind, for minute after minute?

Then welcome to world of active meditation, a path towards tranquility so simple, effective and profound you can travel through it whenever and wherever you are.

Active meditation is your gateway to inner peace and it couldn’t be easier. Unlike traditional meditation, which often involves sitting quietly, active meditation encourages movement. Be it walking, yoga or even gardening, the secret lies in engaging your body and mind simultaneously.

Benefits

Its benefits, just like those of its traditional sister, are many. Not only does it reduce stress and anxiety, but it also boosts creativity, improves focus and enhances overall well-being. Plus, it’s adaptable to any lifestyle, making it accessible to everyone. No need for special equipment, fancy apparel or time set.

How can I get started?

Start by focusing on your breath. Inhale deeply through your nose, feeling your lungs expand, then exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing tension with each breath. As you move, stay present in the moment, paying attention to your body as well as the rhythm of your breath.

So, where can you practice this active meditation? Anywhere! Whether you’re taking a brisk walk in nature, flowing through a yoga sequence at the gym or simply doing household chores, infuse mindfulness into your every day. With active meditation, every moment becomes an opportunity to pursue inner peace and joy.

    This is so true – I practice my breathing when I’m ironing, doing the dishes, walking the dogs… it all helps focus my attention on the here and now. Thanks for a great post! Linda xx
