Walking As A Meditative Practice

Di Jonathon Stalls

Inizia il Giorno 1
Cosa imparerai
Throughout this 6-part course, we will expand our inner and outer connection to meditative walking (or rolling if you use a wheelchair). In addition to a simple and flexible structure, we'll move through tangible planning tips, location ideas, hosting options for pairs and groups, and a variety of add-on practices. After this course, you will expand your relationship to the benefits of walking and gain tangible next steps for nourishing a personal and shared practice. There is light music playing in the background throughout each lesson by Liborio Conti. I highly suggest slowly moving outside with a small notebook while listening to each lesson.

Lezione 1
Protect The Time
Our first lesson grounds this course in honoring an unhurried pace. It also provides guidance around making time to pre-explore possible routes, shaping your practice as a unique, independent activity, and grounding all aspects in compassion & imperfection.
Lezione 2
Benefits & Emergence
Our second lesson focuses on expanding our personal and collective connection to the vast benefits of movement alongside a meditative practice. It also invites themes of adaptation, creativity, and nature proximity. I highly encourage listening to this one several times to allow the benefits to sink in.
Lezione 3
Breathe, Move, Return
Our third lesson provides a flexible and spacious structure for a meditative walking practice. Themes include pre-planning, pre-movement grounding, nature connection, honoring movement, releasing thoughts, dropping into additional practices, and closing with gratitude.
Lezione 4
Location Iteration + Visualization
Our fourth lesson provides more support for a variety of locations including visualization. It encourages both starting where you are and, if you are able, in a variety of environments (local parks, nearby sidewalks, quiet dirt roads, city streets, forest paths).
Lezione 5
Additional Practices
Our fifth lesson invites several additional practices that can be woven into the spacious structure offered in Lesson Three. Practices include: Sacred Objects, Breathing With Trees, Nature Sees Me, Intention Stones, Flowing Water, Spirals and Color, Somatic Listening.
Lezione 6
Pairing & Grouping
Our sixth lesson invites several ways this practice can be shared with one other or with a group. I share four iterations: The Pair - Alongside, The Pair - Shared & Solo, The Group - Together, and The Group - Release & Return. I also offer a group iteration of the the Sacred Objects practice noted in Lesson Five.

Great suggestions on making walking more structured and meaningful, and many which I can apply to virtual walking in visualization meditations too. Thank you for this valuable course Jonathon 🙏
