Conclusion
In this discussion on walking meditation, I hope to have given you something that will extend your repertoire of meditation techniques. Walking meditation is something that you can use in your daily life when you are active, as well as when you are doing formal meditation. Walking meditation, can be another mode for developing the mind. Walking meditation gives work for the mind to do. If you have problems with drowsiness, don’t just sit there nodding; get up and put the mind to work. This is Kammatthana – the fundamental work of the mind.
In the Forest Tradition whenever a meditation teacher goes to a monastery, among the first places he heads to are the monks’ meditation paths, to see how many footprints are on them. And if those meditation paths are well worn, then that is considered a sign of a good monastery.
May your walking path be well worn.
