Meditation

I love to dance. That is probably my favorite thing to do. It is my favorite way of anchoring me into the moment, kind of like a moving meditation. Sometimes I use my breath as an anchor even when I am dancing, but I mostly use the sounds, the beat, and the physical sensations. When I notice myself not feeling those things as much, or getting caught in a thought process, I return to the physical. I love when there is a really powerful speaker and I can feel the bass, and I am like, okay. Even if I am meditating, whether sitting or dancing or whatever, sometimes I am putting more effort and energy into bringing focus and awareness, like the typical idea of meditation. But I am often not really forcing it. I am fairly okay with the mind wandering, with noticing what is happening in my head when I am dancing.
