Can I really meditate while doing other things?

Last updated: 1/15/2024

Yes. Research shows that pairing gentle movement with mindfulness can be more effective than sitting meditation for many people.

Your steps and motions become anchors for attention — not distractions. This is activity-based meditation, and it works.

Studies have shown:

  • 49% reduction in rumination when combining movement with mindfulness
  • 32% decrease in stress reactivity for commuters practicing mindfulness
  • Improved sustained attention and reduced errors on cognitive tasks

Activity-based meditation is a legitimate and effective practice.
