Welcome to walking meditation.
When you walk slowly,
You become more aware of yourself and your body.
This kind of walking meditation,
It's very ancient.
Everyone has different flavor.
I'm just being aware that I take inhale when I lift the legs and exhale when I bring the legs back to the ground.
Inhale up,
Exhale down.
It's important to look very close to the floor so the mind is not wandering around and take inhale and exhale in the beginning.
You go barefoot so you connect to the ground.
You walk around,
No any goal,
Just slow walking.
Connect to the breath with the walk,
Inhale up,
Exhale down.
The slower as you walk,
The more connected you are.
In the beginning,
You might feel the body is shaking or you don't think it's for you.
You feel a little bit pain in the toes,
In the foot.
That's normal because this walking meditation allowed you to come back to your center,
Physical center,
Emotional center,
Mentally center,
Brain.
It's just a matter of practice.
If you repeat it every day,
Start with five minutes a day,
That you increase it.
I always recommend to walk both direction and in the circle in the beginning because it makes the walking much more connected around tree or around any object that you appreciate.
And once you finish for a few minutes,
You can turn back and go to the opposite direction.
It's inhale and exhale,
Being attentive,
Being aware.
Of course,
Your mind will wander.
That's why you breathe.
That's why you walk barefoot to connect to the ground.
And you don't have to perfect your walking.
It doesn't really matter if you lift too high or too slow.
In the beginning,
It's very simple.
Just walking,
You can put your hands here,
You can put your hands behind,
You can put your hands aside.
All of it is welcome.
Just remind yourself,
It is what it is.
You are fully here,
Walking,
Inhale,
Exhale,
Inhale,
Exhale,
Inhale,
Exhale,
Giving you the opportunity to connect,
To connect to yourself,
To connect to nature.
And everyone report in the beginning is awkward,
Is annoying,
Which means the practice is working because you are just coming back to this moment and part of your brain reacting because your brain wants to travel.
If you come back to the breath,
You are one with the breath.
You slowly take inhale,
Exhale,
Inhale,
Exhale.
Once your clock is ringing,
Come back to the center,
Connect to yourself for a moment.
Have the gratitude of the practice and smile and start again.
