Tips for Walking Meditations

Body

These meditations can be used anywhere you feel comfortable walking. Here are a few tips to be aware of before you start:  

  • Ensure you are dressed accordingly for the weather. 

  • Your phone is charged. 

  • You have your earphones. 

  • Take a few deep slow breaths before you start. 

  • Volume- keep it at a level where you can hear other things like traffic etc. 

  • Stay alert to any dangers when you are walking, like potholes and other obstacles that may be in your path. 

  • Try your best to listen to the guide and enjoy the walk. 

  • It’s ok if the mind wanders, just bring it back when you become aware of this.  

  • Try not to judge yourself if you lose concentration.  As soon as you realise this has happened, bring your attention back to the walk and the guide. 

  • Keep practicing this guided meditation. Practice does not make perfect, but it does make us better. If this meditation seems too challenging, try a shorter recording and work your way up.  

  • Enjoy!
