Walking Meditation
Wednesday Mornings 9:30 am ongoing
This is the simple practice of
effortless and mindful walking. We will learn to walk consciously
using good body mechanics, a variety of deep breathing patterns and
relaxed mental images. Walking is one of the easiest, most
beneficial exercises we can perform benefiting a myriad of physical
conditions, notably diabetes and digestive disorders. In China,
special walking exercises are also used to help ameliorate some of the
negative side effects of cancer. Our practice explores several
styles of walking including Medical Qigong, Zen Buddhist Vipassana
style and Daoist Circle Walking. These styles promote clarity and
deep relaxation as the mind synergistically unifies the body and breath
and breaks up stagnant patterns within us and provides more available
oxygen to us. Weather permitting we will often walk outside,
please dress appropriately.
