The article explores the concept of active mindfulness, highlighting its necessity for those feeling anger, anxiety, or stress. Mindfulness teacher Rosie Acosta emphasizes that when in fight-or-flight mode, movement is crucial for emotional release. Active expressions of mindfulness, like high-intensity workouts or even vocal release, can lead to healing and personal freedom, as articulated by meditation teacher Dora Kamau. Such practices enable individuals to explore, process, and release emotions, fostering a deeper connection to their bodies and a more grounded state of being.
"When we're in fight-or-flight mode, our nervous system wants to do something...it's wired for movement," says mindfulness teacher and author Rosie Acosta.
"There's something deeply healing about letting our energy move in a way that is bold, expressive, and a little wild," says meditation teacher Dora Kamau.
"When we give ourselves permission to move with an intentional intensity, we create space for emotions that might otherwise stay stuck in the body...to be explored, seen, felt, processed and released," says Kamau.
"The key is presence," says Acosta, emphasizing that active mindfulness can be loud, sweaty, and even aggressive but ultimately helps in achieving stillness.
