I always thought "mindful walking" was the form of "moving meditation" when I walk in the woods. I focus on breath and sometimes the sound of my walking cadence on the path. I know it helps. I started guided meditation from last week's post. I like it. But finding a comfortable position isn't easy. So I do it in corpse pose on the floor.
Hi Daria . All you said is very true . I have been meditating best i can for years , and used to do mindful walking until 2016 . to anyone that reads this it really does work .If your willing to try it a couple times . Reason I say that is 1 sometimes in big cities it can be hard to relax enough . 2 putting all these steps together the first time can get hard and make some want to stop , Don't stop . Keep trying it will be worth it in the end for all . hugs and peace to Daria and all her readers
Thank you Mitch! I try to practice what I write about. This morning I took a mindful walk. The key for me is always to bring myself back to the moment when I lose my focus on the present and start thinking about other things. It’s important to acknowledge that’s going to happen, recognize it, and come back to the present. I always feel good after I walk, but this morning I felt great when I finished. It does make a difference.
Yes it does Daria , Will never doubt that because i know it does . My problem is mental and physical , since my stroke need to walk with a cane . Which is for some reason hard for me to do . First few days of walking was great , Than next time guy kicked the cane , laughed as i tried to get up and stole my wallet . Since then been mentally scared to try again .

That's horrible! Your concern is understandable. I hope you can find a way for walking to work for you again.
