Walking Meditations: To find a place of peace, wherever you are

by Danielle North

Walking meditations to relax, refocus the mind and help you find calm whenever you need it.

Cultivate mindfulness and bring your mind and body in sync with this beautiful book of walking meditations.

Walking meditation, also known as  Kinhin  meditation, is widely practiced in many forms of Buddhism, blending the physical experience of walking with the focused mindfulness of a meditative state. This can be done anywhere, from a few steps at home to a short walk on a bustling street, or a longer hike in a natural setting.

Walking while meditating boosts awareness, improves sleep quality, offers mental clarity and facilitates a mind-body connection. It is a practice you can develop each time you leave the house, to help you refocus and come back to yourself.

This beautifully illustrated book will guide you through the process of finding inner peace while on the move, with a selection of meditations for every season, long and short walks in both a natural and an urban setting, and meditations for creativity, calm and focus.  Walking Meditations  will help you use your surroundings as a meditative tool so you can restore your energy, come back into your senses and find calm in your day-to-day life.

A really thoughtful book of walking meditations, each with a different focus (Calm, Gratitude, Focus, etc.). If sitting meditation doesn't appeal to you, walking meditation might be a great alternative. The combination of mindful walking, breathwork, and guided imagery in this book is great. I'll have to see if there's an audio version as that would be more conducive to moving meditation.

I feel… calmer.

Beautiful illustrations. Some lovely meditations to take from the book, whilst others were a bit repetitive doing the same thing over but using a different colour and imagining different scenery and using the same breathwork.

What a beautiful book that gives me ideas to enjoy walking more. Encouraging Walking Meditation brings about peaceful mindfulness. They are simple things you can do to clear your mind and give you a sense of calmness.

Interesting ideas for people who need help focusing their wandering minds. Beautiful illustrations.

This is a nice book if you are new, but if you are a bit more experienced with meditation, you don't need to read it, as there is nothing new.
