I have seen people doing Qigong and other moving mediations at retreats, it is beautiful to watch, and looks relaxing. Maybe it is time I tried it. Tolle's partner Kim teaches her own style of moving mediation, humorously referred to by Eckhart as "Kim Chi".
mrdc there is a Tolle recording called Gateways To Now that I am always plugging, (I actually heard about it first through Heidi) you might want to check it out also, it gives a specific exercise of getting in touch with the energy field of the inner body. It helped me do that more. It opens a whole new world of awareness.
Yoga, stretching, body work like massage, and exercise in general are all relaxing and help one get into the inner body energy field, and out of the mind, thus more in the Now.
The trick is not to turn any of these pointers into a task or a how to approach, pointers just bring you back to what always, already is, resting in your natural state of being. You can be resting, whether you are moving or not moving.
