Is it okay to do stretches while meditating? I enjoy them because it helps my body loosen and my brain sync with my body. Many people tell me otherwise I just want to know your opinion on it, thank you so much in advance. :)

I stretch while meditating and it feels good. Infact, I feel I am more mindful of the stretches when mediattng and enjoy it. Hope this helps

As beginner at this too I think if you do a 5 minute at start to stretch and find a comfortable space for your body to rest it will be ok but then spend 10 minutes just in same position just focus on breathing every time you brain wonders bring back to your breath and keep body still you will experience something very soothing. But also try yoga in the morning.

The stretch will help fight off sleepiness and also help with some pains. Meditation is sometimes about accepting conditions and stillness. Yet, it’s main benefit is helping us reconnect our mind and our body, so stretch along! As long as you keep the meditation habit, everything is just fabulous.

I don’t see why not. You do you. Meditate how you like to meditate. I lay down because it’s more comfortable. If you like stretching, do it! You’re awesome and keep being you!

I believe meditation is your mind time and you are allowed to be in a position that your mind is happy and relaxed. So, why not?!! Go ahead and try it! I also believe things are individualized! Like people who believe in one religion and are happy does not imply that religion would be the best asset for all other people! Everyone of us has its own unique journey

It’s ok do stretch during Meditation … Because you enjoy it There’s a rule Enjoying something Do draw, Do sing , Just aware of your body, mind… ok

Many people only know maditation as this stationary practice. In spite of that, there are plenty of ways to meditate while moving. I personally have had walking meditations and dancing meditations and I found both work perfectly fine. Personally, I prefer a sitting meditation, but I can see how this could be a wonderful solution for someone who has trouble sitting still, or a great option for someone whose head becomes through movement. In other words: all that needs to happen is for you to get into that state of mind and if you can achieve that through moving, that’s okay.

Stretching is a Way to meditate and connect your mind to your body as long as you focus on your breath. Inhale when you elongate the body, exhale when you relax. Try to blow as much air as you can take, like if you inhale for 5 sec, then exhale for 5 other second, pausing for 1-2 sec in between.

You cannot do stretches WHILE meditating ! You may arrange in this order -stretches , excercises , breathing , yoga ; all these for a total of 45 m. Keep a separate time for meditation

This depends on how advanced a meditator you are, but even if very advanced it would still be recommended to do some pure sitting sessions and these are inevitably deeper meditative experiences.
