I do believe that this type of exercise helps us to be calmer. A few years ago I could spend up to an hour meditating, but now the posture bothers me a bit to be so still for so long. However, I try to do a few sessions of a few minutes during the day. For a person with a restless mind like mine, these exercises are very useful. Thanks for sharing dear @ericvancewalton. A big hug from Maracay.
