Walking Meditation

This guided meditation involves walking very slowly, and mindfully, back and forth along a short path (about 10-20 feet long). It can be practiced before or after seated meditation, or used as a stand-alone meditation practice. Walking meditation is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike, and can be especially helpful for those days when sitting still is challenging. It also benefits the physical body and can improve balance.

When I’ve introduced walking meditation to my students in class, this is often a new one for folks. I’d love to hear if you give it a try!
