Walking Meditation めいそう

f:id:Dreamyas:20200522133937j:image

I did walking meditation yesterday for the first time as I plugged into an audio guided meditation.  It was a magically misty morning in Monterey and somehow I was taken over by this immersing presence.  I took a trail I had never before.  That morning, I had an urge to take this little path that leads to unknown.  It was a perfect morning to do it, so I did.

The guided meditation was so soothing and sounded as though it knew I was going to take this route.  The whole scenery matched to the every single word it came out of my headphones.  It was such a mystical moment of the truth.

Every step helped me uncover my truth.  Every whisper of the breeze stroke the trees in this forest and made earthy music I had longed to hear.  What exhilarating series of moment I'm experiencing, I thought to myself.  Luxuary I was in is a bit different from what the society raves about.  Subtle shift just happened.  I was no longer in dark secret.  I was in the know.  I was in the now.  

 

 

uncover my truth                                       真実を明かす。

breeze                                                       そよ風。軽い風。

stroke                                                        なでた。

earthy  music                                            自然の音楽。earthy =地球っぽい。地球は自然界なのでこう訳しました。

I had longed to hear                                 ずっと聞きたかった。 long to=〜したい、求める。

What exhilarating series of moment I'm experiencing なんて素晴らしい時を経験できているのでしょう!

I thought to myself                                    自分に思った。

Luxuary               贅沢

a bit different from what the society raves about                世間が好むものより少し違う。raves about=すっごい褒める、いいね〜と思う、崇拝するくらいいいと思う。スラングなので口語よく使います。

subtle shift                                                  ちょっとした変化。

 I was no longer in dark secret                   秘めた暗闇に私はもういなかった。

in the know              知っている事。情報に詳しい事。

Walking meditation took me somewhere I had never been before. I was practicing meditation every step of the way.  Although I did get distracted with thoughts from time to time, I was pleased with each moment of my experience.  What a magical mystery ride!  What a profound way to live life! 

 

 

 

distracted              気が散った。邪魔が入った。

 

 

As I walk, I allow myself to be fully present with my feelings now.  I breathe them in.  And let them go...
