Walking meditation combines the physical benefits of walking with the mental clarity of meditation. This practice involves walking at a slower, more deliberate pace while maintaining focused awareness on your breath, body sensations, and surroundings. Unlike regular walking, walking meditation emphasizes mindfulness and present-moment awareness. The practice can be done indoors or outdoors and is particularly beneficial for people who find sitting meditation challenging. Regular practice can improve both physical fitness and mental wellbeing, reducing stress and anxiety while enhancing overall mindfulness.
