Walking consciously and slowly can be done in various ways:

Walking occupies or focusses the physical attention and is often much easier meditation for those unable to sit still … https://www.mindful.org/daily-mindful-walking-practice/

A walk just clears the mind.

  • around sanctified ground, shrine, pagan maze, safe area, a room or hall, garden etc.
  • with a rosary, mala, prayer beads or just finger ‘counting’ using repetition of puja, prayers, mantra, zhikr, calming words
  • radiating a conscious quality, eg metta, good will, smile etc.

Stroll on!

    This early morning went for a walk around my local greenery. My first point of contact/awareness was the feet. Grounding and consciously trying to relax the feet in my beach shoes.

    Amazed to find animals such as urban foxes and squirrels running away from me. That means either they or I or maybe both were stressed. Slowed my walking. Engaged diaphragmatic breathing.

    Be present in your surroundings, is key.
