Generate Light, Agile, Energetic Attention
A different way to remain present that you can effortlessly incorporate into your daily routine
Walking meditation is an ancient meditation practice that has many clear and immediate benefits. It works great to quiet a rattled mind that feels highly resistant to sitting meditation. It also wakes up a sleepy mind! It is the meditation energy balancer. So much so, that some Meditation Forest Denizens may prefer to do at least a little bit of walking meditation before every sitting meditation.
In any case, every Denizen will probably want to learn this meditation, so that you can do it when you feel like, especially because once you get it down, you can find informal moments to do it, like walking in the park or in parking lots, etc. A few seconds of walking meditation can be dropped in just about anywhere and is a great thing to have at the ready.
Many of our daily activities, like walking or breathing can be done without us so much as noticing we’re doing them. There is something special that takes place when we suddenly turn our attention to what seem like unremarkable tasks. In this meditation, you find an exercise that you can use anywhere you may be safely walking. Learn it here first. Sometimes practice it formally, like in this guided meditation. And then use it whenever you feel like!
More than anything enjoy being with your body, with your feet, with the floor, the carpet, the grass for a little bit. There’s a profound inner peace that takes over us, even if for a short time. Let’s walk together!
