Meditation Beginners, Meditate While Walking

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 sounds in the early morning are minimal, no traffic just the wind and the birds.

I begin by just being aware of the environment. I take note of the colors around me, the wind that goes through my hair and the mood my environment and the sounds sets . Begin breathing deeply at first. Take slow, steady steps, not too fast, but steady. Then, when you are in sync, consciously turn your mind off.

I concentrate on my breathing. I inhale for two or three steps then I exhale for the next. If you start thinking about something bring your attention to your breathing. I just ignore myself. You will soon be only moving and not doing anything else and you will be very relaxed, the same as medtitating sitting down. Make the pace of your walking match the pace of your breathing. Your pulse is slow and steady. You thoroughly enjoy nothingness.

Your spirit will send you iportant messages as if by osmosis; they just occur completely. Not thinking, but as a sensation, a fact a feeling, not as a thought. Use these messages to take a few words to repeat. This phrase touches consistently accurately what your spirit and soul know you need to concentrate on. Continue, you will know when it is time to return.

Since long meditating while walking has been practiced by enlightened people both physically and spiritually. Walking and meditating go together naturally. 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. Walking meditation should be done alone otherwise you will get distracted and you need to be focused. Also the pace of your walking should be steady as mentioned before and if you don't walk alone you will adjust it to each other and you will not be able to meditate

This is just an introduction you can find more on walking meditation from various sources. The important thing is that you get started and try to uphold a daily practice. Good Luck to you.
