Walking Meditations in Nature

While the movement Arts we teach are meditation in motion, we can also hike in nature and meditate.  Find a nice quiet place to visit often.  Spend time sitting by a body of water or near a tree ... breathe in the fresh air ... allow your thoughts to come as they will and float away the way a cloud moves across the sky.

If you are hiking, pay attention to your breath ... feel the muscles in your body as you move ... use your senses ...  listen to the many subtle sounds in nature ... feel your heatbeat ... take in the rich aromas around you ... breathe in through all the pores in your body, taking in the rich energies around you ... breathe out and release all you no longer want to carry around.  Feel yourself relaxing with each step you take.    As new thoughts arise, allow them to float away without lingering with them ... without identifying with them ... without creating stories ... let them simply be ... come and go ...


Walking mediations in nature assist us in connecting with All that Is around us and within us.   Camping, hiking, walking mediations, relaxing by a nice fire, sipping herbal teas on a beach ... make sure you create time and space to enjoy the beauty ... connect!
