Walking Meditation

We don't need to be lying down or in the lotus position to get the benefits of mindful meditation. This meditation uses walking and the sounds around us to help you to become mindful on the move.

So we're going to do a very short walking meditation. And you'll hear noises because we're just walking. Because meditation is most powerful. When we can do it and notice what's on around us. So we're just going to walk. And start off by taking a nice deep breath into the belly. Fill in the aura with energy from the crown chakra into the belly. Nice deep breath. And there it is. Just walking. And then we're going to walk. Noticing noises. Noticing noises as we walk. Noticing our footsteps. Noticing the wind through our hair. And the temperature of the sun on our body. We should be able to walk. And so we should be able to do any activity. And through our attention to our breathing. Always remain mindful. And attentive. Just take another deep breath. And release. Just walking. Noticing your feet. Just walking. Noticing your foot touching the ground. And then the next foot. Walking. And breathing. Noticing the wind. Going through the trees. Just effortlessly passing through the leaves. Leaves move. And then return to the normal shape. Position. People walking past. Still noticing your breathing. Just walking. Noticing your breathing. Just noticing your breathing. Just noticing your breathing. It's automatic. The space is in between the noises of the wind. The noises of people walking past. The noises of traffic. Noticing the spaces between. The spaces like the gaps between the breaths. A blissful moment between the in-breaths. And the out-breath. Or between the out-breath and the next in-breath. It's blissful moments. Just walking. Maybe noticing noises under your feet. Different types of ground. Leaves. Focusing on your breathing. And you're walking. Maybe take a spot to stop. Just breathe in. Still for a moment. Breathe out. Just enjoying breathing. With practice. We can learn to allow the noises. The distractions pass through us. Over us. And by us. Just on an out-breath. And on every in-breath we can breathe in. Connection. Peace. Truth. And as we find our joy. We find a smile. Enjoy practicing this walking meditation. Whenever you can. To help you have more wonderful moments. In your wonderful day. Find another in-breath. And an out-breath. And on the next in-breath set the intention. To have a wonderful day.

A nice concept showing that you can have peace and calm even in the hustle and bustle of walking around in public. Good music but ends abruptly.

I find it so soothing that I use it to lift weights sometimes... :-)

Different, but effective.

Very useful for every day joyful practice. Thank you

That was a special walk. Thanks for taking us along.
