Can I really meditate while doing other things?

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.
