Mindful body has two meanings: 1) being aware of your body; 2) the traditional sit-up-straight posture used in seated mindfulness practice to encourage attention and deep breathing. Mindfulness practice can be done while walking, singing, slouching, or doing most anything! This lesson touched on both aspects of “mindful body.”
