Walking meditation is a form of active meditation and it’s commonly practiced by Tibetan and Buddhist Monks.

There are obvious differences when you compare walking meditation to other types of passive meditation 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.

Many beginners enjoy this type of meditation technique 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

Follow these 6 easy steps and learn how to Walk AND Meditate
1. Start by taking 3 deep breaths. Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.

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.

3. Slow your pace if need be to ensure that each movement you take is made in a conscious state.

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.

5. Focus your gaze in front of you, relax your shoulders and curl your lips into a warm smile on your face.

6. Get into your “walking flow” and continue to be aware of your body while you walk for a minimum of 20-30 minutes.

Walking meditation 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.
