Walking Meditations
Walking Meditations
Walking meditation can be just as profound as sitting meditation, and has the advantage of bringing the meditative experience into daily activity. Our approach to walking meditation is easy and informal.
Walking meditation is perfect for those who have trouble sitting still to meditate. For those who enjoy sitting meditations, walking meditation brings a new dimension to meditation, helping to bring meditation into every moment of the day.
These walking meditations gently guide you to experience your body and your surroundings fully, letting go of the mind's preoccupation with naming, analyzing and evaluating what's going on. Letting go of thoughts about the past and future allows you to experience the present moment more fully.
This album contains an introduction and three walking meditations, each with a slightly different emphasis:
