Bouldering is meditation in motion. With each calculated move, the climber's focus converges on their body's position, the texture of the rock, and the distance between holds. This present-moment awareness is akin to a meditative state, silencing the cacophony of daily stressors. The result? A clearer, calmer mind and a reduction in the symptoms associated with anxiety and depression. As highlighted in HongChong Yi - Finding Your Strength - The Physical and Mental Benefits ofBouldering, these mental benefits are integral to the overall climbing experience.
