The Stillness Sanctuary
Active Meditation
An active meditation practice for modern lives, using movement, breath and expression before settling naturally into stillness. Do you find it difficult to quieten the mind? Have you tried meditating only to find that the mind is more active than ever before. Use the body actively prior to meditation and see how it transforms your practice.
Unlike traditional silent meditation, Active Meditation begins by allowing the body and mind to move, express and release. Guided stages may include movement, breath, sound, shaking or gentle expression.
As the body releases what it has been carrying, a natural stillness can emerge. Rather than forcing calm, the practice allows calm to arise organically.
The practice is accessible to all and especially supportive for those who find seated meditation challenging.
Especially effective for
- Stress release and emotional expression
- Nervous system regulation
- Mental clarity and focus
- Reconnection with the body
- A deeper sense of presence
