> We have the incredible ability to move our bodies on autopilot - without even a thought we can perform relatively complex movement patterns. While this is evolution at its finest, over time we have lost touch with our bodies. We are more disconnected with them than ever before. 

> Mindful movement directs your attention to the subtle physical sensations as you move. Generally this is done quite slowly, but even if you are required to move quickly during an activity, you can be mindful that you are moving quickly and tune into that experience.

​> The more connected and aware you are of your body, the more you will learn about how you respond to thoughts, feelings and emotions. Therefore, you will be better able to train your “mindfulness muscle”

For example:
Choose an activity that requires you to move your body. This may be something you already do (like a gym workout), or something you will introduce (like yoga). It can even be a physical chore such as mowing the lawn! Either way when you are performing this activity, tune into your awareness of the body moving.

How do you know your body is moving?

Can you identify the moment your body initiates the movement or switches to another movement pattern? 

​Drop into this experience and allow it to be the focus of your attention.
