The Walk To Remember
The Purpose of meditation is to empty our mind to make space for the awareness of Now. Studies have shown that 30 minutes of moderate exercise such as walking or running can significantly improve one’s state of mind. The burdens of everyday life can become overwhelming at times, so let’s take a walk today to bring you back to a state of consciousness that will be relieving and relaxing.

You are Here
When you need to clear your head, sometimes it just takes a breath of fresh air. Bring whatever you’d like. Take a bag if you like having it just in case, a jacket or umbrella if there might be rain, but most importantly, you must bring yourself. Take that first step, and start on your way. Whatever direction you choose, it is your own.

A Walk on a Rainy Day
Don’t let the rain stop you from going for a walk (unless it’s a violent thunderstorm). Instead, let’s turn this rainy day walk into a rainy day meditation. Grab your umbrella and take this time to be present as you walk in the rain.

Mind your Mind
Remember that walking meditation is much like life. It’s literally one step at a time, step by step, small incremental movements forward that all coalesce into one journey. At the beginning, one notices how far he must go, but in the end, one notices how far he’s come. The key is mindfulness, or what I like to call “minding the mind.” A great means of doing this is to mind your breath. Start by taking three deep breaths, after taking three deep breaths, allow the air to escape through the nose and fall into a natural rhythm. As in life, breath is essential, so first, breathe in, deeply. Breathe in all that life is, all that is bothering you, all that is in your mind and then let it go by breathing out. Breathe out all that you’re worried about, any thoughts floating around in your mind or anxious energy that might need to be expelled. Next, allow your forehead to release those wrinkles, let those shoulders drop and unclench your jaw. Let go of the tension, let it all go until you are completely empty; this emptiness is key, because again, much like in life, a cup must be emptied before it can be filled. So, empty your cup. The first step is complete.

Meditation with eyes OPEN?
Suppose you're walking down the road after an exhausting day of work. Suppose you're on your way home and you remember something, unfinished work; negative news; pessimistic thought, etc. Suppose you're walking down the street with your group, and they are talking among themselves and you feel left out and awkward. What is common in all these scenarios? You losing your peace!

Breathing The Heavy Negativity Out
Have you ever stopped to think about what you are doing when you are outside walking? If you stop to really think about it then there will be a time when you realize how relaxed you have become after a long walk. There are different kinds of meditation in the world today that not everybody knows about. I would like to walk through a meditation discussion with you. I know, you are looking at the words and wondering how is it possible to walk while doing meditation? I am about to tell you how this works while you are walking about.

This is not your guided meditation. This is a woman who often stresses easily and has a small window for comfort; through walking around a mountain.

Imagine you are Lost
Let’s go for a walk. Put on your shoes and head outside. But now, as you begin to leave your home in the distance, imagine that you are no longer in your familiar neighborhood. You are no longer just a few steps away from your front door. Think about a city or town that you have always wanted to travel to, a place that is unfamiliar to you, where you don’t speak the language and you don’t know anyone. Do you have a place in mind? Now, imagine you are lost on the streets of that city or town. Stop walking and close your eyes for a moment. Imagine the street in front of you. Don’t worry about making it true to real life. However you imagine this place to look is how it will look for this meditation. Get a clear picture in your mind. Are there tall buildings? Maybe there are small houses. Are there plants around you? What about the street below your feet. Is it made of pavement? Cobblestone? Gravel? Now turn your head upwards. Is it daytime or night? Cloudy or sunny? Create a picture of the street you are about to walk down. Focus on it. Now, open your eyes, and continue walking.

Walk Into Mindfulness
Throughout my life, my mother has been one of my greatest sources of inspiration. A practical woman, she more often than not, has a practical answer to most problems. One of her more popular solutions to anything negative that occurs in ones life, is to pull on her favourite pair of water proof, ready for anything, walking shoes and go for a walk.
