Walking Meditation |
 |
| This practice is
a variation of Vipassana Meditation. This is a slow, ordinary walk based on awareness of your feet as they touch the ground. You can walk in a circle or in a line. Take ten to fifteen steps, going back and forth, inside or outside. Your eyes should be lowered to the ground, just a few steps ahead. While walking in Vipassana, one gives attention to the contact of each foot as it touches the ground. When other things arise, simply notice what took your attention and gently return your focus to your walking. It is the same technique as sitting, but for some, the movement is helpful and can be a welcome change. Try this for twenty minutes, it can result in a deep awareness... Namasté (In India, this is the highest form of respect one can pay to another human being. Translated, it means: "I honor the place in you in which the entire universe dwells; I honor the place in you which is of love, of truth, of light and of peace.") |
