WHAT IS WALKING MEDITATION ?

“The miracle is not to walk on water – the miracle is to walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive"    Thich Nhat Hanh

Walking meditation is a form of deep relaxation practice and connection with the present moment. Gentle walking and mindful breathing slow down the mind: the focus on breath keeps the rush of everyday thoughts at bay.

Walking meditation is about silent communication with the earth, nature and our companions. There is no aim or destination, no need to arrive or achieve, only to BE PRESENT. Breathing deeply, being attuned to our senses and appreciating the beauty of nature are the keys to living in the present moment.

Walking meditation is a positive experience, a chance to relax, to enjoy the company of others and to feel close to the gifts of Nature.
