Walking meditation:
Went to the woods to acquire an item for a later working.
While there I decided to take a leisurely stroll to unwind and ground myself.
I wasn’t there for long before I started to feel grounded. I was enjoying all the flora around me and trying to soak it all in.
At some point I realized I was walking pretty slowly and just very calm "(Ah, I’m on forest time…)
After I got a good distance, I picked up a stick and decided it was time to walk back.
I willed myself to take the same pace I’d been taking instead of the usual rush when I decide to leave.
I tried to keep a clear mind and take everything in as I walked.
While I was able to find my inner stillness, I kept getting caught up in repetitive thought patterns. It’s been awhile since I tried to maintain a meditative state while doing something.
I’d say I probably spent 30-40 mins trying to walk meditatively.
When I got back to my vehicle I felt that I was supposed to break the stick I was holding onto and place it somewhere respectively before leaving.
Not sure what that was about but I followed my intuition and did it. Almost seemed like a charm to leave anything that may come with me, or to dispell whatever I brought but left behind. 🤷🤔
