Walking meditation is one of the nicest ways to meditate, the body naturally walks and to experience being both aware of the body's movements at the same time as being present in the immediate environment can keep us centred and relaxed.
The recommended setup for walking
meditation is a level, straight path of 20-30 paces,free from debris and somewhere quiet and secluded
The practice is to walk from one end to the other being mindful of each movement, when you reach the end you stand still for a few moments, turn and repeat the exercise to
the other end.
The first step begins with composing are attention while standing at one end of your chosen path. Bring your attention to your breath and become present in the moment, spend at least half a minute relaxing and watching the breath. Stand in such a way you can very clearly feel the soles of your feet spread over the ground and rooted to that particular point. Breathing in be aware you are breathing in. Breathing out be aware you are breathing out. Once your calm and you feeling more relaxed and centred, slowly begin, first by gently raising your foot from the ground.
Raising one of your feet try to walk as slowly as you can but at your own body's comfort. I want you to really feel each and every movement, explore the sensations in your body. Explore the tensing and relaxing of each muscle as it's being used. Keep everything simple, walk from one end to the other, keeping in touch with your body sensations.
Walking mindfully slows the minds rhythm, eventually settling into the physical sensations, the mind becomes calmer and clear. This calmness brings with it a regenerative energy that makes walking meditation feel tireless.
