Meditate Awake

Research from psychology, sociology and anthropology across decades shows that your body influences how you see the world. Psychological research shows that your body directly affects how you interpret and experience the environment around you. You body shape, proportion, posture and movement can all affect your perception. The interesting thing about this on a personal level is that changing the way you use and move your body can also change the way you see the world — and yourself. Trying new forms of exercise or working on your posture won’t just make you physically healthier. It can also make you more open to receiving different kinds of external sensory information; and that can make you feel happier and more confident. Moving your body differently can make the world appear a friendlier, more inspiring or less intimidating.
