Welcome to today's walking mindfulness exercise.
Today you'll need to find a place to walk where you have about 10 to 20 paces in front of you where you have nothing blocking your path.
You may need to pause this recording and start again when you have found this space.
For this walking meditation you are going to walk back and forth along this path.
When you get to the end of your 10 or 20 paces you will turn around and walk back.
Before you begin take a moment to stand still.
You can even allow your eyes to close as you take a moment for yourself to acknowledge yourself for showing up for your practice today.
Here you can start by listening to the sounds in your space.
Listening to the sound of my voice,
Listening to the sound of the music and any sounds in the surroundings.
Using the sounds to help you geolocate yourself,
Behaving as sonar as the sounds inform you of your presence in the present moment.
With awareness now,
See if you can bring your awareness to yourself and to you.
Feel your feet flat on the floor.
You may find it useful to shift your weight so that you are leaning on the balls of your feet and then shifting back onto your heels.
Gently shifting your weight onto the balls of your feet and then gently shifting back onto your heels.
Now allowing yourself to rest,
To feel your weight distributed evenly on all parts of your feet.
When you do begin walking try to keep your attention on the feeling of your feet as they move through the space.
You might notice the feeling when you lift your foot,
Shift your weight and then place it back down.
It may be helpful to label lift,
Shift,
Place in your mind as you walk.
Just noticing any feelings within the feet as you walk back and forth in your own time now.
Please share this video and I hope it was rewarding.
Notice if your attention is wandering and see if you can bring it back to the feeling of your feet.
As you get to the end of the pathway,
You might find it useful to pause before you turn around and head back,
Giving yourself a moment here to recollect your attention,
Bring your awareness back to your feet,
Before you begin walking again.
This is the trail of happiness.
If you notice that your mind is wandering,
Simply bringing it back.
Sais Lost is.
.
.
Yo Again,
If you notice your mind wandering,
Bringing it back to the feeling of your feet.
When you get to the end of your pathway this time,
Allow yourself to come back to standing.
Noticing the feeling of the feet on the ground.
Once again inviting yourself to notice how your weight is distributed.
Taking a moment to acknowledge yourself,
Showing up for today's practice.
Gently returning to the day,
Energized and revitalized.
Gently returning to the day.
Gently returning to the day.
Gently returning to the day.
