The Way
"Meditation in Motion" is the expression I use to sum up the combination of mindfulness practices I share, namely mindful breathing and walking (learned from Master Thich Nhat Hanh of Plum Village) and various forms of Qi Gong (learned from Master Shi Heng Yi of Shaolin Temple Europe).

As modern life and the whole world seems to spin ever faster than we can handle, meditation continues to rise in popularity as a powerful means to reach inner peace and self-mastery.
However, most people struggle to find the time to pause and try to center themselves in a quiet place that elicits a sense of ease. Others do manage to stop and sit for a few minutes but only to meet a hurricane of thoughts and emotions rushing through their brains.
So, what's the way out of this conundrum?
"The way out is in" said Thich Nhat Hanh, a renown Buddhist Master and activist for peace and environmental conservation.
"Meditation" is commonly coined to describe the act of sitting quietly on a cushion. Yet, this is only one way to cultivate a state of intentional awareness of the human experience.
Through alternative methods of contemplation, such as mindful breathing, walking, and martial art routines, we can meditate on the move, embodying enlightenment in motion.
The methods I share help people find their stride with meditative practice through slow, purposeful movement, which ease the transition from the rush of daily life to contemplative experiences.
Meditation, be it in motion or in stillness, may not end all of our "external" conflicts (in society) but it is a promising step towards comprehending the "internal" challenges we all must deal with.
I invite you to join me on the journey to cultivate inner peace and self-mastery, as we move kindly and lightly upon the Earth.
