Walking Meditations
Body
These meditations are designed to be listened to whilst walking certain routes to encourage you to get outside and practice mindfulness, facilitated by May Riddell.
- Tips for walking meditations
These meditations can be used anywhere you feel comfortable walking. Here are a few tips to be aware of before you start:
- Ensure you are dressed accordingly for the weather.
- Your phone is charged.
- You have your earphones.
- Take a few deep slow breaths before you start.
- Volume- keep it at a level where you can hear other things like traffic etc.
- Stay alert to any dangers when you are walking, like potholes and other obstacles that may be in your path.
- Try your best to listen to the guide and enjoy the walk.
- It’s ok if the mind wanders, just bring it back when you become aware of this.
- Try not to judge yourself if you lose concentration. As soon as you realise this has happened, bring your attention back to the walk and the guide.
- Keep practising this guided meditation. Practice does not make perfect, but it does make us better. If this meditation seems too challenging, try a shorter recording and work your way up.
- Enjoy!
