Meditation Beginners: Walking Meditation

Walking is a perfect way to quietly ease your mind. I prefer to walk early in the morning.
I mean really early. The sounds in the early morning are minimal, no traffic just the wind and the birds.

I start my meditation by just noticing the environment. I notice the color of the sky, the mood the trees set, the way the air touches my skin and certainly, the sounds. Start out by taking deep breaths. Take big, steady strides- not necessarily fast, but steady. Then, when you are in sync, consciously turn your mind off.
I concentrate on my breathing. Inhale while taking 2 or 3 steps and exhale for the next. If you start thinking about something bring your attention to your breathing. I just ignore myself. Before you know it you will be doing nothing but moving and you will be as relaxed as if you were sitting and meditating. The pace matches the rhythm of my breathing. Your pulse is steady and slow. You thoroughly enjoy nothingness.

Often your spirit will tell important messages to you; they just occur completely. Not as a thought; not thinking, but as a fact, a feeling, a sense. Use these messages to take a few words to repeat. This phrase touches consistently accurately what your spirit and soul know you need to concentrate on. Keep going you will know when it is time to go back.

Since long meditating while walking has been practiced by enlightened people both physically and spiritually. The two, walking and meditating go together smoothly. Walking and meditating provide the time and space to connect with your soul.

Silent or with music, anything goes. It is up to you. Choose what works for you best. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Try it all and then decide what works best. But as in normal meditation try to be consistent and try to practice walking meditation every day. Also try to meditate at the same time every day this will more easy grow into a daily habit without much effort.

This is just an introduction you can find more on walking meditation from various sources. The important thing is that you get started and try to uphold a daily practice. Good Luck to you.
