Zhan Zhuang

Zhan Zhuang is a "standing meditation" that I've found really beneficial! First off it increases my stamina and endurance which I have always had issues with. Secondly, it really challenges my ability to stay focused because standing in one position for 5-15 mins really takes effort on my part. And thirdly, it really does take my mind elsewhere - like I feel like I've traveled somewhere else - like if I imagine standing on a beach watching the ocean waves roll in it's almost like I am experiencing that even though I'm standing in my small bedroom.
