It isn't always easy to sit and meditate for 20 minutes but we don't always have to sit to come into awareness and meditate. Walking meditation promotes both movement and mindfulness. The benefits of mindfulness are numerous. Walking meditation is a great method for beginners who struggle with restlessness during traditional sitting meditation.

Walking meditation is part of a Mindfulness meditation practice. It can be a formal practice like when we watch our breath in meditation. Or it can be very informal like when you’re moving from point A to point B such as leaving your car to walk into the office.

Walking meditation is an invitation to be aware, to practice awareness. Oftentimes we can shift into auto pilot really quickly or our minds can go into a thinking, ruminating pattern.

In today's meditation we will be walking on a small path and going back and forth with awareness and attention.
