Buddhist Walking Meditation step2

When we start Buddhist walking meditation. We require concentration on feeling on the feet. Start walking forward with chosen foot. Suppose we start with the right foot. We need to pay attention to compose with walking the right step. When they start lifting the right foot, stepping forward right foot and then placing down slowly. We should move our foot slowly in a level that we can get concentrate to define mental step when we lifting, stepping, and placing down our foot. For an aid to staying present, we may gently and softly use quiet mental words for our steps while we walk at that time. The words might be “right lifting”, “moving”, and “placing”.

After that, we start stepping the left foot. We need to pay attention to compose with walking the left step. Begin with lifting the left foot, stepping forward left foot and then placing down slowly. As the right step, we should move our foot slowly in a level that we can get concentrate to define mental step when we lifting, stepping, and placing down our foot. For an aid to staying present. We may gently and softly use quiet mental words for our steps while we walk at that time. The words might be “left lifting”, “moving”, and “placing”.



Keep step right and left and don’t forget to concentrate to define mental step when we lifting, stepping, and placing down our foot until the end of the pathway that we prepared. Then stay in position, turn back slowly to the right hand, (The Lord Buddha never given this word, however, for convenience and to get familiar when we need to practice with other people in the meditation place.) and then stop in position. Ready to go backward to the starting point. While stop walking or turning back we have to get concentrate on sensible to know our body stop walking and turning. Or we may gently and softly use quiet mental words as we stepping. The words are “stopping”, “turning”. Then walk back and doing the same as we did forego. The practicing should be continuous about 20-30 minutes, then rest about 5-10 minutes and then restart again or we can practice with the appropriate time.

In our daily lives, some people choose walking meditation as a specific activity routine to practice, such as walking on the pathway for work or home, down the road, or from car to their place. We can train our mind to be present any time when we walk. And we can use words that shorter than when we walk on meditation pathway, it might be “lifting, placing” or “right” “left”.
