Zen Bites #7: Walking Meditation
How do we take the 'quiet spaciousness' off the meditation seat and into activity? Walking meditation is one gateway method to do this. Jamie and Martin also discuss the pilgrimage and its symbolic resonance as 'spiritual journey'.
In this podcast Jamie and Martin discuss the act of walking in meditation, and how movement helps us to connect with the body and in turn the present moment.
Walking is discussed as a practice in several of the Buddhist schools, as well as other religions and spiritual ways of life. Other aspects of the discussion include Wu-wei (non-intentional action), and walking as part of the pilgrim's journey.
