There are two basic types of medititation: being still and being active.
There are variations under those two basic types.
Being still is how most people begin and are taught. But there is
another level, moving meditation. It is said that one hour of moving
meditation is worth a thousand hours of sitting meditation. At least
that is what Glenn tells people in our seminars. Glenn has over 25+
years experience in the internal arts and has spent much time in Japan
studying with the Masters, including Zen Masters. ( He has a total of
over 48 years studying martial arts. The internal arts is one important
facet of that.)
In our classes we teach people to first sit in meditation but then we
advance very quickly into teaching moving meditation in the first class.
This gets the kundalini awake faster and wakes up/loosens the body for
energy movement. Ecstatic dancing falls into this category. It teaches
people about the basics of energy flow very quickly and how to rely on
their own body wisdom. (He teaches being still in meditation, I teach
the active portion. My part is much more fun and blissful IMO.)
One of the results is your meditative walk becomes your daily walk. I.E,
soon there is no difference in your internal state of being no matter
what you are doing. It is all meditation. Every act becomes an act of
meditation, of awareness.
Sitting meditation is trancendant/sky in quality, Shiva (masculine)
Consciousness. Active meditation is earth/body based, Shakti
(feminine)Energy. Our cultures spend too much time in Shiva
Consciousness and not enough time in Shakti energy. But, that is to be
expected because most enlightenment process are masculine based, not
feminine.
We really need both but we have neglected the feminine based practices
so we need to spend more time on developing those.
This is one of the reasons Glenn and I team teach. I keep the class from
getting too macho (he is a martial arts grandmaster) and cerebral. He
keeps the class from getting too subjective and ungrounded from my
Shakti influence. I tend to let loose too much energy and people get
activated and spacey.

depends on the meditation?
sometimes meditating means paying attention to your body, and your
breathing. allowing you to get quietly in touch with your self, in a
peacefull way.
