[lennart]

Has anyone of you ecperience with standing meditation? Specifically zhan Zhuang that is a qi qong form of standing meditation. I heard that it helps enourmously with your posture and energy levels. What are your experiences with it?

I don't know anything about Zhan Zhuang or about standing meditation in general for that matter, but I just started experimenting with standing meditation, and will do some more research on it. I've done standing meditation for 3 days in a row now, but I am not really using proper forms / techniques. I suppose my next step is to look into more formal forms / techniques.

I have experience with standing meditation in general. I used to practice shaolin kung fu and was required to do standing meditation as a part of the program and chi-gong practices. We did 5-10 minute after training or in-between to re-energize ourselves. You'd be surprised how such simple movements paired with conscious breathing can re-align and re-energize us at much greater levels then just sitting down and taking a breather.

Nowadays i do it after or in-between exercise when i don't have much time to do long seated meditation sometimes i do it before and after all depends but yeah meditation is meditation sitting or standing

Thank you!

I think standing meditation is very important and usefull because it realignes the body and lets you release tensions. In sitting meditation I always hat the problem with backpain. Ithink one can cure that through standing.
