51. Walking Meditation to practice what you are experiencing in the moment

A great way to practice meditation and mindfulness is walking. You can use your senses to tune in to what you are experiencing in the moment as you notice what you see all around you. It allows you to become centered, to be present, and to connect your mind, body, and soul.

When was the last time you just walked and really became aware of what you were experiencing around you? So often you are distracted with talking on the phone or thinking of your to-do list or replaying an incident that already happened that you are ruminating over.

Try focusing your attention on your walk itself, how your body feels as it touches the ground, what you see around you, how your body is feeling. You just want to bring your attention to all of these sensations without judgement, just allowing and noticing and returning to your breath and the movement of your body.

It's a practice that will help you center yourself and be aware when you are not in the moment even later in the day. The practice increases your awareness, attention, and ability to be present.

If you have trouble sitting and meditation it is a great way to practice meditation - in movement. Listen to this guided meditation as you do your walking meditation.
