Meditation is the best way out to reduce stress and tensions, increase feelings of well-being, and improve concentration. It is also very beneficial for spiritual development. Sometimes you don’t get the proper place to meditate in your house. Then you need to move out and then it is the right time to try meditation while walking. It serves dual purpose, as you can get the pleasure of walking as well as meditation but the thing is you have to learn the method of doing it. Though simple, but you should do it correctly. You allow yourself to do four things: become aware of your breathing, notice your surroundings, be attentive to your body's movement, and take some time to reflect on your experience when you return home. A walking meditation is simply an exercise in awareness therefore; it may be referred to as "awareness walking."
The best time to go for a walking is early morning before the sun rises. That’s the most wonderful experience. I myself do it and the experience push me to write an article on it.
First thing to do is to take notice of your breathing. Breathing shouldn’t be done the simple way as we are used to, but you have to take long deep- breathes. Taking a moment to focus on your breath is important because it signals to your body, mind, and spirit that you are entering a different space. De-attach yourself from the world or your daily routine. Don’t think about your home problems or about work. Just concentrate on your self.
Be a part of the environment. Choose the area out from the city. Feel the wind, sun, fog, and the noises of the birds chirping. Look at the sky, trees, buildings, birds, animals or people that may be around. Take a few more deep breaths. This connection with the natural world helps to orient you on your path, both literally and metaphorically.
Next, take notice of your posture. Walk in a way that is comfortable for you, but don't slouch. You want your body to be as loose and uplifted as possible. Then, do what comes naturally - put one foot in front of the other. It is best to strive for a moderate pace. Remember, no speed walking, as this is not a race. There is no set duration, though a minimum of ten to fifteen minutes is a good baseline. As you walk, pay attention to the experience of movement. Can you feel the muscles in your legs contracting and relaxing? How does the breeze feel on your face and body? Let your mind be as open as possible, being aware that it is during this time that all of the nagging stressors in your life will start screaming for your attention. That's OK, let them come, notice them, but also let them pass. The last thing is when you come back, take five or ten minutes to reflect on your experience.
Awareness walking allows you to step out of everyday life for a short period of time in order to recharge. It is an ideal practice for action-oriented people, because you actively move with attention to the details of your body. This gives extreme relaxation and in a way keeps you healthy and young for a long time.
