Walking Meditation めいそう
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.

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!

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