Walking Meditation
Kinhin
How to
Walk slowly and deliberately along a short, straight path, breaking each step into its component parts — lifting, moving, placing the foot — and keeping attention on the physical sensation of movement rather than the destination.
Benefits
- Meditation for those who find sitting still difficult or physically uncomfortable
- Traditionally practiced between periods of seated Zen meditation
- Easy to fit into short breaks during a busy day
Practice
10-15 minutes on a path of 10-20 steps, turning and continuing rather than needing open space.
