Walking is a perfect way to quietly ease your mind. Walking in the early morning is my perfect start of the day.
I mean really early. The silence of the morning without traffic and listening to the birds is wonderful.
Calmly observe the environment and become aware of it. I become aware of the way the air touches my skin, the colors of the sky, the mood the trees set and of all the sounds that are produced. I always take deep breaths as I start out. Walk steadily with big, firm steps but not too fast. When you are in a good rhythm stop thinking anything consciously.
I concentrate on my breathing. Inhale while taking 2 or 3 steps and exhale for the next. If thoughts come to mind I discourage them leading to solo conversation. 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. Make the pace of your walking match the pace of your breathing. Your pulse is steady and slow. I thoroughly enjoy nothingness.
Often your spirit will tell important messages to you; they just occur completely. Not thinking, but as a sensation, a fact a feeling, not as a thought. You may want to use a few words of these messages to repeat. These words consistently touch exactly what the spirit and soul know you need to address. Continue on until you know it is time to return.
Since long meditating while walking has been practiced by enlightened people both physically and spiritually. The two, walking and meditating go together smoothly. Each provides 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 meditate 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 different sources. The important thing is that you get started and try to uphold a daily practice. Good Luck to you.
