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.

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)
