Include Movement in Your Meditation

The word “meditation” conjures images of one sitting peacefully in nature, cross legged with hands in their lap. While that is certainly one way to meditate, this type of meditation can feel inaccessible to those who find sitting still for long periods of time a challenge in and of itself. Some types of meditation can include movement to help alleviate this obstacle. Even for experienced meditators, adding movement to meditation can help keep one’s practice fresh and novel. 

Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is an ancient Chinese exercise and healing technique that involves meditation, controlled breathing, and movement exercises. Qigong is therefore sometimes translated as "vital energy cultivation" or "mastery of your energy."
