Walking Meditation Can Double Your Health Benefits

(Continued …)

Oftentimes, traditional meditation has you sitting in a room with your eyes closed so that you can concentrate on mental clarity. However, with walking meditation, you need to see where you’re going. This means that you absorb your outside environment and process it with the mental clarity brought on by meditation.

Do your walking meditation in an area that feels calm and peaceful to you and is inviting. Don’t do it right in the middle of a busy street, or downtown with lots of traffic. Try to do your walk for at least 20 minutes each time.

When you start to walk, use good posture and keep your arms at your sides. Focus on a point about 3 to 6 feet in front of you as you walk.

Of course, walking will help your body and your health in many ways. It provides more serotonin to improve your mood as well. If you add meditation to your walk, your exercise program will become even more powerful and further improve your mind as well as your body.
