Walking meditation is a simple and universal practice for developing embodied awareness. Often when walking we mentally ‘check out’ and fall into autopilot mode but this ten minute meditation will guide you to stay grounded in mindfulness instead. Mindful walking develops feelings of calm and connectedness as well as an appreciation of the world around us.
The great thing about walking meditation is that it makes use of something you already do, so it doesn’t require any extra time out of your day.
This audio below will guide you through a walking meditation practice. You can do it no matter where you are, even in a busy, crowded or noisy place.
You don’t have to walk in any special way. It’s not about the way you walk, but rather where your attention is as you walk.
