Walking Meditation - Increasing The Power Of Consciousness



The following two stages are fairly similar and build upon any basic walking meditation techniques you may be using.


  • Attempt to maintain control of your attention's motions. 

  • Your attention will be drawn mainly to your feet's feelings. 

  • Allow any distracting ideas to exist in the background, but don't allow them take your focus away from the feelings in your feet. 

  • Keep a close eye on your vocal ideas in particular. 

  • As you go, let them come, let them be, and let them leave. 

  • Other physiological sensations, noises, and visual things are still well-recognized on the periphery. 

  • You may still deliberately shift your attention and study a new or intriguing feeling if it offers itself. 

  • Don't, however, stop walking. 

  • Continue walking and keep an awareness of the walking sensations in the background from now on when you shift your attention to another feeling. 

  • Nonetheless, you should feel free to take a break and check in at any moment. 

 

To put it another way, don't stop for distractions that demand your attention; instead, once your attention is steady, you may stop at any time and freely explore your surroundings. 

You will get new insights into how the mind works as this exercise progresses, allowing you to retain an attitude of curiosity, inquiry, and pleasure.
