4 scientific studies on how meditation can affect your heart, brain and creativity
Many people have tried to sell me on the idea of meditating. Sometimes I try it, and have an incredible, refreshing experience. But usually, as I close my eyes and focus on my breathing, while I know that I’m supposed to be letting all thoughts go, more and more fly through my mind. Soon I have a laundry-list of “to-dos” in my head … and then my legs fall asleep.

Interesting stuff. I have always valued meditation. So do you think that Chi Sau can be thought of as a meditative exercise (done at a certain level of course)?
If the meditation is specifically about the active and harmonious relationship with the environement and people, then I think ChiSao could be used for it, no doubt. But that’s gotta be a high level
At the moment I’m just using the forms (especially SNT), they are very good for standing nd moving meditation.
