Walking meditation is a mindfulness practice that helps with stress, anxiety, anger and frustration. Walking and any exercise is good for the body and the mind. But often times we walk fast for exercise, and possibly even a light gossip or catch up, shared over a good walk. And that is more of a work-out.
While walking meditation is the process of slow, conscious and silent walking. It helps to tame your “monkey mind”. By focusing on your steps you become more aware of your racing thoughts. It is a kind of mindfulness practice that can calm you down if you are angry or ground you when you are anxious.
