Standing meditation is one of the most powerful ways to slow the mind.
Think about what our bodies do when we are simply standing. We are usually in line… looking at something… having an alert conversation.
We rarely stand and do nothing.
Standing makes our bodies and minds cautious. Thus, meditation is one of the quickest ways to bring yourself to the present. It’s the perfect way to charge your battery.
If you have never done standing meditation, don’t do it for more than five minutes at a time. Once you get used to this, this can be longer.
