This Walking Meditation tutorial is a great way to introduce yourself to meditation if you are a beginner. Walking meditations are a fantastic exercise for both new and experienced meditators and can be easily integrated into daily routines. They can be a good way to break up long periods of seated meditation and help promote blood circulation. They, also, act as an opportunity to practice mindfulness while performing an activity.

Thank you. It might be helpful to be aware of the top of your head opening to the space above and to sense this as well as sensing the support under neath the two feet. When we can sense the wholeness of our upright standing, we can say we are the balance between heaven and earth.
