Walking Meditation 

Walking meditation is a beautiful practice that helps to unite our body and mind. With each step, we cultivate awareness and embrace a profound connection to the Earth, nurturing a sense of grounding, tranquility, and mindfulness. As we mindfully walk, not only do we awaken our body and mind, but also our heart, allowing us to perceive and appreciate the inherent beauty that surrounds us in every aspect of life.

Friendly suggestions for walking meditation

Walk mindfully. Begin by walking at a slower pace than usual. This will help to slow down the mind and promote a feeling of spaciousness.

Maintain a sense of calm. Gently allow your awareness to flow naturally, directing your attention towards the sensations in your feet and legs. Without judgment or bias, simply observe the perceptions that arise. During the walking practice, these sensations can serve as an anchor for our attention, keeping us grounded in the present moment.

Be mindful of the present moment. Embrace each step as a new moment. welcoming it with mindfulness and curiosity. Stay fully present as you take each stride, engaging with the experience.

Keep it simple. Walking meditation is about being mindful and present. We are not walking to get somewhere but to be right where we are. When the mind wanders, simply notice it and come back to your next step.
