Standing Meditation
5-Minute Standing Meditation Practice
Standing meditation with the correct posture is a profound and meaningful exercise that leaves you feeling energized, clear, quiet, focused, peaceful and balanced.
Practicing standing meditation for fifteen minutes or more a day will contribute to your wellbeing and your ability to create and fulfill daily intentions with ease. You will experience deep levels of relaxation, chi (energy, life force) flow, and release of stress.
Standing meditation is simple to learn and very powerful. Roberto learned this technique from his friend and Tai Chi Coach Paul Viera and from Chen Xiao Wang, one of China's Great Masters and a direct descendant of the legendary creator of Tai Chi, General Chen Wangting.
