Walking and Sensing, Guided Practice

In the summer months, the world opens to experience. When we leave the air conditioned comfort of homes or vehicles, we can find connection and meaning in the beings and environment that surround us. Walking meditation is a wonderful bridge between the silence and stillness of sitting meditation practice and the engaged experience of living your whole life with mindfulness. Today’s guided practice begins by observing our breath and our body as well as the sensations of sound, sight and smell. The second half offers time to walk mindfully. I recommend listening to this guided practice outside. You might want to listen by putting one earbud in and leaving the other one out so you can experience the sounds of nature around you. As you get more comfortable, try it without the recording.
