Tara Brach, a clinical psychologist and meditation teacher, leads this guided standing and walking meditation, a practice for feeling present while standing, walking, or on the way somewhere.
Standing and walking meditation is a way to begin bringing meditation into daily life. It is the first stage of meditation in action, that is, learning to be meditative while “out and about” in the world.
It can be done while taking a walk in the park, at the beach, or in another natural setting. Walking meditation is often recommended for people who do a lot of sitting meditation. If you are getting too sleepy, or your awareness is getting too “muddy,” walking meditation may perk you up. Alternately, if you are getting too concentrated and mentally “stiff,” it can be a way to loosen up a bit.
