Try these practices
A series of simple moving meditation practices to start or end your day well.
And I said to my body. Softly. "I want to be your friend." It took a long breath. And replied "I have been waiting my whole life for this." — Nayyirah Waheed
Movement as Meditation
Moving practice, Tim says, offers relief from the very first five minutes - releasing tension, building groundedness, sharpening the body's capacity to feel itself from the inside. She introduces a series of themed movement practices and invites you to simply see what emerges. This is meditation.
These five practices are invitations - gentle, exploratory ways to befriend your experience - through paying attention to your body. This isn't about “getting it right” or achieving a particular outcome. It's about listening, sensing and discovering what emerges when you approach your body not as something to fix or optimise, but as a friend. These practices develop our sense of interoception - the basic awareness of your body sensations. Increased interoception is correlated with less stress, less anxiety and depression and greater ability to experience pleasure in ordinary activities, and better physical health too.
Each 20-minute session guides you through gentle, mindful movement that is itself a complete meditative practice. This is mindfulness as the simple act of inhabiting ourselves fully. As movement gradually settles, you may find that stillness arises naturally. It’s a relief.
