#31 - Active Meditation: Mindfulness in Your Daily Activities

Do you know that you can bring awareness to the present moment regardless of what you are doing? This short 8-minute active meditation is an alternative from practicing mindfulness in formal seated meditations. It can be done at any moment when it's safe. So hopefully not while you are driving or performing surgery when you might risk danger to yourself or others.  The intention at the start and the end of this meditation: "My intention is to practice mindfulness, so I will be mindful and aware of the sensations in my body, and when I notice that my mind is wandering, I’ll gently bring my awareness back to the sensations in my body".  The benefits you might experience from this practice is to help you learn how to pause and take a step back in the midst of your daily activities, especially when you are distracted, multitasking, or feeling emotionally reactive. This meditation is inspired by the conversation with my podcast guest, Ayu Kartika Dewi (#30 - Mindfulness in Our Daily Lives). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
