Mindful Movement Discussion
Spend a few minutes reflecting on what this experience was like for you and then answer the following questions:
- Think about the difference in quality between the body sensations you experienced in this practice and in the body scan. How do they compare?
- Did you notice any particularly strong or uncomfortable sensations, and if so:
- How did you respond to them?
- What was it like keeping your attention focused on any feelings of discomfort or mild pain?
- What did you notice about how sensations changed as you were holding a posture? What about as you were moving between postures?
- Did your mind wander any less during this practice, in which you were more active/less still, then during the body scan and sitting meditation?
- Did you find it easier to pay attention to your experiences because the physical changes held your attention better?
