Walking Meditation

Walking, of course, is good for both your physical and mental health. But walking meditation may take you to another level. Also known as kinhin, it is a practice within several forms of Buddhism that involve movement and periods of walking, between long periods of sitting meditation. It can also reduce stress, combats depression, and stress as effectively as antidepressant medications, and can increase sleep and storage.

1. Follow your own footsteps. As you begin walking, deliberately put your mind down into your feet.

2. Switch on your senses. Staying connected to the physicality of your legs and feet, expand your awareness to notice your surroundings.

3. Guard your inner peace.

4. Look for the good.
