About this audiobook
Connect with the present moment in each movement. Award-winning author, meditation leader, and mental health advocate Nita Sweeney shows listeners that fitness can be mindfulness. She teaches listeners how to bring meditation and mindfulness into any activity by incorporating centuries-old techniques. Studies show that both exercise and meditation reduce anxiety, stabilize blood pressure, improve mood and cognition, and lead to a deeper self-relationship and wisdom. Movement is medicine, and meditation is medicine. Let's combine the two with exercise as meditation.
Inside Make Every Move a Meditation, you'll learn to: turn exercise into a meditation tool and use exercise as meditation; make any activity, even walking through the house, a mindful practice; and enjoy the benefits of meditation while getting fit.
