I really enjoy walking as a form of relaxation and I used to be part of a monday walking group called Love Walking which combined walking and other exercises at our local gravesend promeande, one of my friends called Surbs.
Recently I have been introduced to mindfulness and came across mindful walking
Mindful walking simply means walking while being aware of each step and of our breath. It can be practiced anywhere, whether you are alone in nature or with others in a crowded city. You can even practice mindful breathing and walking meditation in between business appointments or in the parking lot of the supermarket.
Mindful walking allows us to be aware of the pleasure of walking. We can keep our steps slow, relaxed, and calm. There is no rush, no place to get to, no hurry. Mindful walking can release our sorrows and our worries and help bring peace into our body and mind.
In a world of busyness, its great for us to take time to notice things around us as we walk each day. I finfd it very therapeutic and refreshing.
