Meditation has many proven physical and psychological benefits and just one drawback. The drawback is that sitting still for long periods of time is too hard for most people.
Enter Qigong. Qigong includes active forms that are moving meditations, as well as sitting, standing and even lying down meditations. The more active forms help put practitioners in a state of relaxed, clear minded alertness, sometimes referred to as the “Qigong state of mind.” Once your body and mind are more relaxed, it is much easier to meditate.
To put this to a test, try sitting or standing in meditation for 5 or 10 minutes. Then practice some active Qigong forms for the same amount of time. Then try meditating again. Feel any different?
Would love to hear how this worked for you. Just add your comment to this blog or send me an email. I’ll be sure to respond.
