Mindful walking.
Just find a space either outdoors or indoors where you can take large enough movement to move from one area to another.
You may want to keep walking in one direction if it's outside,
In circles if it's inside,
Or up and down.
Not like a pacing experience but more just an amount of space where you can gently move your body.
So just with your back upright and ensure you are free from distractions,
Just slowly,
Comfortably,
Gently start to walk.
Move a little slower than you normally would just to allow you get into the space of being at one with the rhythm of your body.
Breathing in and letting go as you breathe out.
Breathing in and letting go as you breathe out.
Continue to walk slowly and gently and mindfully.
Notice the left foot touch the ground,
The arch way,
The heel.
Just become aware of your left foot touching the ground as you walk.
Now notice your right foot touching the ground,
The toes,
The arch way,
The flat of your foot,
And the heel.
Just turn your attention to your feet and the natural rhythm of walking slowly,
Mindfully,
And gently.
Just continue to walk at this space either outdoors or indoors,
Taking your time and gently pivoting in a new direction as needed.
Breathing in and letting go as you breathe out.
Just start to notice your entire body as you walk with a sense of curiosity as your left and then your right foot touch the ground.
Notice any sensations in your feet that you may feel as you breathe in and let go as you breathe out.
Notice where the weight is in your body.
Do you place more weight in the left or the right foot?
Is it even perhaps as you continue to walk slowly and mindfully?
Breathing in and letting go as you breathe out.
You don't need to change your walk in any way.
You're simply remaining curious as each foot touches the ground.
Notice the feeling and sensation in your feet,
Your legs,
And your body in general.
Just continue to walk slowly and mindfully as you breathe in and letting go as you breathe out.
You may like to join your rhythm of your breathing in the pace of your walking.
So as you take one step you say,
I am breathing in.
To take another step you say,
I am breathing out.
I am breathing in.
I am breathing out.
You may continue with this rhythm of breathing and walking as long as you like,
As long as you need.
And when you do finish this exercise just take a moment to be still.
Standing in the space that you're in right now.
Becoming aware of all the sensations in your body as you breathe in and letting go as you breathe out.
Aware,
Present,
And mindful.
And whenever you're ready you may resume to your day walking as you naturally do,
Returning to the activities of your day.
