Meditation Beginners, Easy Walking Meditation Guide

Walking around and quieting your mind is easy and relaxing. Early morning is my favorite time to walk.
I mean really early. The silence of the morning without traffic and listening to the birds is wonderful.

Calmly observe the environment and become aware of it. I take note of the colors around me, the wind that goes through my hair and the mood my environment and the sounds sets . I always take deep breaths as I start out. Take slow, steady steps, not too fast, but steady. Then, when I feel like I’m in sync, I begin to consciously turn my mind off.
I concentrate on my breathing. I inhale for two or three steps then I exhale for the next. If you start thinking about something bring your attention to your breathing. I just ignore myself. Before you know it you will be doing nothing but moving and you will be as relaxed as if you were sitting and meditating. The pace matches the rhythm of my breathing. Thepulse is slow and steady. You thoroughly enjoy nothingness.

Your spirit will send you iportant 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. This phrase touches consistently accurately what your spirit and soul know you need to concentrate on. Keep going you will know when it is time to go back.

Walking meditation has long been practiced by people who are both physically and spiritually enlightened. The two, walking and meditating go together smoothly. Both give the time and space to connect with your spirituality.

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 meditate every day. Also try to meditate at the same time every day this will more easy grow into a daily habit without much effort. Walking meditation should be done alone otherwise you will get distracted and you need to be focused. Also the pace of your walking should be steady as mentioned before and if you don't walk alone you will adjust it to each other and you will not be able to meditate

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.
