My meditation of choice for the last couple days has been crank the music and interpretive dance. If you even want to call it dance more like shaking and moving in weird ways that could be confused for seizing....
I feel like sometimes we all just need a really good shake down to let lose to let go and get out of our heads, get out of our own way. Sometimes I do need the peace of sitting with my breath or sitting with a mantra, but otherdays when I am feeling wound up, or to serious I just need to shake it out and lighten up. Life doesnt have to be so serious all the time! Yoga and meditation don't have to be serious, I especially think yoga should be fun! And as I have been learning in the last lil bit meditaion can be fun as well.
Of course there are times when you are going to have to put in the ground work in yoga to build strength or flexibility, just like anything in life. But for the most part if its not fun and you don't like it why are you doing it? I do yoga because I enjoy it, I have fun during my practice and feel great afterwards. In my meditation practice I am definantly in the ground work, I am a begginer meditator but I still feel the benefits of my mediation. I meditate when I can for how ever long I have time. I dont get up an hour early to sit on my cushion in lotus focusing on my breath... if I even thought I would have to do that I would give up before I started.
Meditation can be very accessible, you can meditate in the car when you are stuck behind a train for a few minutes, you can just take 2 minutes before bed to listen to your breath. Meditation doesn't have to be this huge lengthy ordeal to get the benefits from it.
Meditation in my opinion is anything that gets you out of your own head and into the moment you're in right NOW.
Lots of Love!
Happy Shaking
