			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Walking Meditation involves learning to walk whilst meditating. You may be wondering "how are you going to close your eyes whilst walking". Well whether you realise it or not many monastic communities have regularly used walking meditation interspersed with traditional seated meditation to help break up the long periods of meditation.</p>
<p> The walking meditation works by getting you to first control your breathing using the Deep-Breath <a class="ld_link" href="http://guidedmeditationaudio.com/deciding-on-a-suitable-meditation-technique-2" target="_self" title="Meditation Technique">Meditation Technique</a> and then to use the White-Light <a class="ld_link" href="http://guidedmeditationaudio.com/deciding-on-a-suitable-meditation-technique-2" target="_self" title="Meditation Technique">Meditation Technique</a> to help learn to control your mind. In regards to this technique, if you mind starts to wander whilst walking due to mind chatter, you simply stop the counting process and simply start again.</p>
<p> One of the other aspects you need to consider with this technique is to focus on your body and the connection your body has with its path. For each and every step during the walking mediation technique, you need to feel the path and each step that you are taking. For instance, you need to be focusing on the feeling in your feet, your ankles, your legs, your arms and so forth.</p>
<p> The Walking Meditation technique is one of those effective <strong><a target="_blank" title="meditation techniques" href="http://www.meditationanalysis.com/meditation-techniques.html">meditation techniques</a></strong> that you can practice anywhere and you will probably find that it will take you some period of time to conquer this technique without your mind wandering. Make sure that you do not punish yourself if your mind does start to wander or start to chatter. Simply acknowledge the wandering and bring the mind gently back into the meditated awareness and continue on your way.</p>
<p> Most people when they first think about <strong><a target="_blank" title="self meditation" href="http://www.meditationanalysis.com/">self meditation</a></strong> simply see it as a way to relax however your mind is an incredibly powerful tool and you can utilise meditation to change many aspects of your behaviour, the way you speak and present yourself and the vast professional meditation practitioners will help you to develop these techniques to improve yourself. Find out more about the various <strong><a target="_blank" title="types of meditation" href="http://www.meditationanalysis.com/types-of-meditation.html">types of meditation</a></strong> techniques and unlock the beautiful power of your calm mind!</p>

Walking meditation is a form of active meditation and it's commonly practiced by Tibetan and Buddhist Monks.</p>
<p>There are obvious differences when you compare <a title="Walking Meditation" href="http://www.guidetomeditation.org/meditate-while-you%20-walk" target="_blank">walking meditation</a> to other types of <a title="Passive Meditation" href="http://www.guidetomeditation.org/passive-meditation" target="_blank">passive meditation</a> techniques. Rather than sitting silently in a still position, you're actually walking and 'experiencing movement'.  During walking meditation your focus is on each step you take. Rather than walking mindlessly, welcome mindfulness into your step. Feel your entire body starting at your feet as you step into the ground and move forward with peaceful silence.</p>
<p>Many beginners enjoy this type of <a class="ld_link" href="http://guidedmeditationaudio.com/deciding-on-a-suitable-meditation-technique-2" target="_self" title="meditation technique">meditation technique</a> because it's easier for them to focus on the actual act of walking versus sitting still and concentrating to clear the mind. And the great news is that you still reap the many benefits of passive meditation, including decreased stress levels, improved relaxation and an increase in energy <img src='http://guidedmeditationaudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><strong>Follow these 6 easy steps and learn how to Walk AND Meditate</strong><br />
1. Start by taking 3 deep breaths. Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.</p>
<p>2. Take another deep breath and as you exhale, start walking at a steady pace. Be conscious and fully aware of each step you take. Feel your heel hit the ground, followed by the rest of your foot.</p>
<p>3. Slow your pace if need be to ensure that each movement you take is made in a conscious state.</p>
<p>4. Throughout your walking meditation practice, be mindful of your breathing. Eventually, fall into a breathing-stepping rhythm where you consistently take 2 steps for every breath. Alter the number of steps to suit your own patterns.</p>
<p>5. Focus your gaze in front of you, relax your shoulders and curl your lips into a warm smile on your face.</p>
<p>6. Get into your "walking flow" and continue to be aware of your body while you walk for a minimum of 20-30 minutes.</p>
<p><a title="Walking Meditation" href="http://www.guidetomeditation.org/meditate-while-you%20-walk" target="_blank">Walking meditation</a> is a great way to relax the mind and move the body at the same time. It's the perfect excuse to get out there and connect with your body, soul and nature.
