  1. The Art of Walking Meditation: Simple ways to ground yourself when you can’t sit still

    We’ve all been told that meditation requires sitting in silence, cross-legged, with a perfectly quiet mind. But what happens when your mind is racing and your body simply refuses to sit still?

    Trying to force stillness can sometimes create more tension than peace. That’s where walking meditation comes in. It bridges the gap between movement and mindfulness, allowing you to anchor your attention while keeping your body in motion.

    If traditional seated meditation feels restrictive, here is how you can use simple movement to ground yourself anytime, anywhere.

    A lone hiker follows a damp woodland trail through softly glowing morning mist.

    What is Walking Meditation?

    At its core, walking meditation is simply the practice of being intentionally aware of your body and surroundings as you move. Instead of walking to reach a destination, the walking itself is the destination. You aren’t checking your phone, listening to a podcast, or rushing to the next errand—you are simply present with every step.

    4 Simple Steps to Start Your Practice

    • 1. Set a Purposeful Pace: Slow down slightly from your normal walking speed. You don’t need to move in slow motion, but slowing your pace helps shift your nervous system out of autopilot.
    • 2. Anchor in Physical Sensations: Focus your attention on the bottom of your feet. Notice the shift in weight from heel to toe, the contact with the ground, and the subtle rhythm of your legs moving. When your mind drifts to your to-do list, gently bring your focus back to the physical sensation of stepping.
    • 3. Sync Your Breath with Your Steps: Match your breathing to your movement. For example, take three steps for every inhale, and three steps for every exhale. This gives your mind a secondary anchor to rest on.
    • 4. Engage Your Senses: Broaden your awareness to what is around you without judgment. Notice the temperature of the air on your skin, the sounds nearby, or the movement of light around you. Observe, acknowledge, and let it pass.

    How to Fit It Into Your Day

    You don’t need a secluded nature trail to practice. A hallway at work, a quick trip to the mailbox, or a ten-minute loop around the block all work perfectly.

    Next time you feel restless or overwhelmed, step away from your desk or routine. Take ten deliberate, mindful steps, and notice how quickly your energy grounds itself.

  11. Wet Prayer (A Tanka Poem)

    Author’s Note: I have written haiku for many years. Heiwa Haiku has often been a spiritual practice for me. Recently I discovered tanka, another form of Japanese poetry, which, put simply, is haiku plus two additional lines. Haiku is generally written as three lines of 5-7-5 syllables respectively. Tanka uses the same format at the beginning and then adds two additional lines of 7 syllables each. The following is my first attempt at tanka. I am looking forward to further exploration and sharing of tanka poetry.

    The morning is gray,
    a soft rain is falling down.
    I walk with head bowed,
    watching the mist of my breath,
    listening to the wet prayer.

  18. 2010 - There are those trips that make you forget everything about time and space. You begin to live at a different pace — closer to what’s truly fundamental: eating, sleeping, staying warm… and in my case, walking.
