Redefining “Meditation”

For so long I thought meditation meant sitting still in one position, in silence, observing my thoughts. 

Sometimes I was able to do it. Most of the time I wasn’t. 

I noticed that I felt the most relaxed, creative, and out of my head when I was doing more “active” things- like breathwork, sound healing, dancing, baking, walking, doing a jigsaw puzzle, coloring.

All of these activities gave my mind something else to focus on, so I was more easily a lot to get out of my head and drop more into my body. 

Meditation can look like:

Sports

Running 

Going to the gym

Baking

Breathwork 

Dancing 

Singing

Drawing

Creating art 

(Really anything that helps you get out of your mind and more into the body)
