Walking Meditations

The first thing to do is to lift your foot. Breathe in. Put your foot down in front of
you, first your heel and then your toes. Breathe out. Feel your feet solid on the
Earth. You have already arrived.
We frequently walk with the sole purpose of getting from one place to another.
But where are we in between? With every step, we can feel the miracle of
walking on solid ground. We can arrive in the present moment with every step.
When we first learned to walk, we walked just to enjoy walking. We walked and
discovered each moment as we encountered it. We can learn to walk that way
again.

YOU HAVE ARRIVED
When you walk, arrive with every step. That is walking meditation. There’s
nothing else to it.
