It seems that people associate meditation with Zen-style sitting meditation, which seems to be the canonical example. However, there are also standing, walking and moving forms of meditation, as practiced in Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Ba Gua and Yoga.
These practices emphasize mind-body unity and alignment, and focus on the moment, and the results are very similar to sitting meditation, with the added advantage of physical involvement, and less time per session.
I do a Tai Chi short form at different times throughout the day, as a stress break. It only takes 5 minutes or so, and is very helpful in calming the mind and aligning the body. The down side is that the learning curve is long, and a teacher is needed, in order to ensure that ur doing it right.
