15 Therapeutic and Meditative Activities for Calmness

Calm is something we all need to cultivate in our stressful adult lives. However, we’re not limited to the obvious, more mainstream methods of therapeutic activity or meditative practices: yoga, meditation, journaling, reading, walking, etc.

Here is a list of activities that are very calming because they are gentle or because they take keen concentration that can bring us into the present moment and relax us…

  1. Pottery
  2. Cleaning
  3. Woodwork
  4. Scrapbooking
  5. Knitting, crocheting, macrame etc.
  6. Gardening
  7. Painting
  8. Martial Arts
  9. Colouring
  10. Cooking or baking
  11. Animal grooming
  12. Brushing hair (yours, child’s, dog’s etc.)
  13. Playing with beads or marbles
  14. Swimming
  15. Dancing and singing

 

Sincerely,

  1. I’m going to share this for awareness purpose. Living with Herpes simplex was depression for me even with my doctor’s advice and medication. My name is Vicky Moore I live in Chicago, Illinois and this is my story. I browsed the Internet in search of remedies or something but unfortunately nothing new, all still had the same results. Sadly I almost quit on myself, it was around 7:30 in the morning when my therapist called me over to her house, at first I was skeptical, but I went anyways on getting there she was smiling and said there’s living proof now, she showed me a lady who also suffered from herpes simplex 3years back and now she is cured by a doctor who also studied natural herbs. I was amazed and lost for words I even doubted but showed me a doctor’s report test. So I contacted the doctor and weeks later, I was cured. So I would love to use this medium to say a big thank you to my therapist and Dr. Chalopa. This story is shared to others like me out there. However, he also treats other illnesses.
