Did you know that there are multiple ways to practice meditation? Walking and reading are my two favorite alternatives. I tend to have what is called a monkey mind. My mind tends to want to go all over the place the minute I try relax and meditate in a traditional sense. Walking and focusing on your steps and breathing is just as successful as sitting in lotus position with your eyes closed. Reading is also a way to control your mind's drift. By focusing on the words and the story you allow your mind to focus into a relaxed state. Give these two alternatives a try and let me know if you have other suggestions for meditation alternatives!
