ZfEL Ep. 31: Guided Meditation - Mindful Walking




Zen for Everyday Life with Matt Valentine: Mindfulness | Guided Meditation - Buddhaimonia show

Summary: This week's guided meditation is the "everyday" informal practice of mindful walking. We've covered the formal practice of walking meditation before, where you walk back and forth or in a circle typically in your room or wherever you meditate (anywhere really) and generally at a very slow pace. Practicing mindful walking in daily life is similar, but still very different in important ways. In this guided meditation, I'll take you through a practice you can do walking about in your daily life, from your car to work, work to your car, around the office, down the street, in a grocery store, and even out for a short walk to check your mail or take out the trash. The opportunities to use this practice are limitless and that's why it's a personal favorite. Also, don't forget to check out this week's talk, episode #30: 11 Things to Know When You're Having a Bad Day. Thank you for listening.
