Hi,
I'm Leigh Bridges.
Thank you for joining me on this guided meditation.
As you begin to walk,
Breathe deeply and keep your attention on the soles of your feet,
Being aware of the constant patterns of landing and lifting again.
Be aware of your foot as first the heel makes contact with the ground,
And then as your foot rolls forward onto the ball of your foot,
And then as it lifts from the toes and travels through the air.
Focus your awareness for a while on this movement of your right foot,
Then your left.
Be aware of the constant patterns of landing and lifting.
Focus on the soles of your feet as first the heel makes contact with the ground.
Did you notice any difference in your stride between your left and right foot?
If you find that your attention is wandered away from your feet,
Just bring it back gently and without judgment.
Do you see any difference in your stride between your feet?
Expand your awareness into your legs and thighs.
Feel your skin,
Your clothing,
The temperature outside.
And again,
If you find your mind drifting into other matters in your life,
Simply bring your attention calmly back to your feet and legs.
When you're comfortable with the pace,
See if you could walk a little faster while maintaining the same meditative state of mind.
Notice the difference in your breathing.
And the sound of your footballs.
Are you maintaining the same meditative state of mind?
Are you maintaining the same stride as you were before?
Does your foot maintain the same pattern of contact with the ground?
Do you notice any strain or fatigue in your feet and legs?
And anytime you find your mind drifting off with your thoughts,
Simply bring your attention calmly and without judgment back to your feet and legs.
Keep going with this walking exercise as long as you like.
Now for the other
