Walking Meditation: An Introduction by Brother Phap Luu | #1

This video introduction to walking meditation is offered by Brother Phap Luu and available on the free Plum Village App plumvillage.app/ .
-------
It is possible to walk in freedom and solidity, and to arrive in the present moment in every step. Wherever we walk, we can practice meditation.
Walking in meditation means to walk in such a way that we know we are walking. We walk leisurely, enjoying every step. We become aware of the contact of our feet with the ground, and the flow of our breathing. We set ourselves free from our thinking-our regrets about the past, our fears and anxieties about the future, or our preoccupations in the present. We become 100% present with every step.
“I have arrived, I am home” means: I don’t want to run anymore. I’ve been running all my life, and I’ve arrived nowhere. Now I want to stop. My destination is the here and now, the only time and place where true life is possible.
We become aware of the contact between our feet and the ground. And we begin harmonise our steps with our breathing. We may take two or three steps as we breathe in, and then three or four steps as we breathe out. It will depend on your lungs and the natural rhythm of your steps.
As we continue walking, synchronising our breathing and our steps, we become aware of our whole body walking. We can relax any tension in our shoulders or arms, and feel what a miracle it is to be walking on Earth. We can open our ears to the sounds around us, and lift up our eyes to enjoy the trees, or the horizon, or the people around us. Aware of our five senses, we know we have arrived in the present moment. Every step can be nourishing and every step can be healing.
We hope this video introduction supports you in your practice at home, or with your sangha.
Enjoy your practice!

These people are so fortunate to be able to be present at and participate in this and the other experiences, events and lessons, there in the Deer Park. Keep in mind all of the innocent people in our world that have immense suffering that are so far from this peace and joy and healing. Spread love, please

Thank you for the instruction. I have always seen Walking Meditation on the videos but have never really understood how to do it. It helps Mohave it explained because I thought it was just very slow walking. Thank you

[@susanho8542]

Wow! I totally get it now! Thank you for such a wonderful explanation and guidance. It has brought more understanding to why I am doing the walk. And a beautiful song to walk with too. My sincerest appreciation, Brother Phap Luu🙏

I also do walking meditation that I learned from Thay. But when so many do it together, it looks a bit zombie-ish : D Thanks for the tutorial, Brother Luu.
