Keep Calm and Meditate On
Some types of meditation allow you to move while you meditate. Qi Gong is part of traditional Chinese medicine and generally combines meditation, relaxation and physical movement with breath regulation to restore inner peace and balance. Tai Chi is a gentle form of Chinese martial arts that uses a series of self-paced postures and movements that transition slowly and gracefully. Yoga is a practice of postures and controlled breathing that help increase strength and flexibility, while keeping the mind calm. Yoga poses often require balance and concentration, helping the yogi to focus on the present moment.
