Q: Pay attention to your mind in the transition between sitting and standing. Was your mind busy or quiet?

A: I find that the position and activity of my body does have a direct connection to my awareness and attention. Seated, I am usually focused and task-oriented. I have learned the value of moving between shifted awareness and I do this by mixing in moments of standing and walking around. In that mode I tend to ruminate more on thoughts and ideas. I see essential value and a need for both ways of being.
