Walking alone has always provided me with the time to mindfully quiet my thinking. I prefer to walk early in the morning.
I mean really early. The traffic sounds are at a minimum, the waking birds are at their most vocal.
I start my meditation by just noticing the environment. I notice the color of the sky, the mood the trees set, the way the air touches my skin and certainly, the sounds. Take deep breaths at first. Take slow, steady steps, not too fast, but steady. Then, when you are in sync, consciously turn your mind off.
I concentrate on my breathing. Inhale while taking 2 or 3 steps and exhale for the next. If you start thinking about something bring your attention to your breathing. I just ignore myself. Before I know it I am engrossed in doing nothing but moving and I am as relaxed as if I were in my sitting meditation position. The pace matches the rhythm of my breathing. Your pulse is slow and stable. I thoroughly enjoy nothingness.
Your spirit will send you important messages as if by osmosis; they just occur completely. Not thinking, but as a sensation, a fact a feeling, not as a thought. From these messages decide upon a few words to use repetitively. These words consistently touch exactly what the spirit and soul know you need to address. Continue, you will know when it is time to return.
Since long meditating while walking has been practiced by enlightened people both physically and spiritually. The two, walking and meditating go together smoothly. Walking and meditating provide the time and space to connect with your soul.
Silent or with music, anything goes. It is up to you. Choose what works for you best. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Try it all and then decide what works best. But as in normal meditation try to be consistent and try to practice walking meditation every day. Also try to meditate at the same time every day this will more easy grow into a daily habit without much effort.
This is just an introduction you can find more on walking meditation from different sources. The important thing is that you get started and try to uphold a daily practice. Good Luck to you.
