This way of dynamic meditation also improves your self-confidence and motivation, as well as inner peace as you learn to feel comfortable with yourself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With dance as an alternative meditation technique, the main \u2018rule\u2019 is having no rules and <strong>just being spontaneous<\/strong>.
