Meditation Beginners, Start Walking And Meditating
Author : Alicia Alexander
Take your time to silence your thinking while walking. I prefer to walk early in the morning.
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 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. Begin breathing deeply at first. Take big, steady strides- not necessarily fast, but steady. Then, when I feel like I’m in sync, I begin to consciously turn my mind off.
I concentrate on my breathing. I inhale for two or three steps then I exhale for the next. If thoughts come to mind I discourage them leading to solo conversation. I just ignore myself. Before I know it I am engrossed in doing nothing but moving and I am as relaxed as if I were in my sitting meditation position. Make the pace of your walking match the pace of your breathing. Your pulse is steady and slow. You 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. Use these messages to take a few words to repeat. These words consistently touch exactly what the spirit and soul know you need to address. 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. Both give the time and space to connect with your spirituality.
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.
