Meditation Beginners: Walking Meditation Practice

Take your time to silence your thinking while walking. I prefer to walk early in the morning.
I mean really early. The traffic sounds are at a minimum, the waking birds are at their most vocal.

I begin by just being aware of the environment. I notice the color of the sky, the mood the trees set, the way the air touches my skin and certainly, the sounds. Take deep breaths at first. Take big, steady strides- not necessarily fast, but steady. When you are in a good rhythm stop thinking anything consciously.
I concentrate on my breathing. Inhale during two or three steps and exhale for the following. If any thoughts come to your mind, discourage them and get back in your rhythm. 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. The pace matches the rhythm of my breathing. Your pulse is slow and stable. I thoroughly enjoy nothingness.

Often my spirit will divulge important messages to me as if by osmosis;; they just occur completely. Not thinking, but as a sensation, a fact a feeling, not as a thought. From these messages decide upon a few words to use repetitively. This phrase touches consistently accurately what your spirit and soul know you need to concentrate on. 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. 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.

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.
