When you walk arrive with every step.
--Thich Nhat Hahn, How to Walk
We often assume that meditation requires an hour or more of withdrawing from the outer world. But one can meditate while simply taking a walk in the outdoors. The idea is to take your mind off of everyday problems and focus instead on your surroundings. Walking meditation encourages mental relaxation and enhances creativity. Clearing your mind of ordinary thoughts opens a space for peacefulness and for new ideas to arise.
Have you ever experienced profound inner peace or brilliant insight while out on a walk?
