Have you ever done a walking meditation? Have you even heard of walking meditation? If not, don’t worry. I’m not about to suggest you go wandering around with your eyes closed. But I am going to suggest you read the rest of this article and then give it a try.

The art of walking meditation is not as popular as traditional methods of meditation where you sit down in a cross-legged position. However, walking meditation can prove to be more accessible and easier to renew your inspiration and energy.

The Art of Meditation

When you engage in walking meditation, you’ll be using some — or even most — of the same principles as regular meditative practice.

Here are a few tips to use when beginning with meditation:

• Allow yourself plenty of time, at least 20–30 minutes.
• Focus your attention on your breath.
• Try to avoid making noise as it may distract you.
• Concentrate solely on the present moment.
• Go with the flow.
• Follow the energy that your mind is giving you.
