Reminded me of Richard Feynman playing the bongo drums:
"Most of us need our bodies in motion for our brains to reach their highest level of activation. Traditional cultures have understood this. That's why we have beads and wheels, yoga positions, davening, kneeling, prostrations, drumming, and other physical aids to prayer and meditation. We have a shared understanding our bodies need to be engaged to support our attention and focus. Muscle movement gets associated with certain memories in the same way odors or colors do, and assist in the retrieval."
