Walking Is the Path

Inviting you to bring your attention down into the body, taking this moment to notice what your experience is right now.  Now inviting you to move from sitting to standing, noticing all that occurs during that shift, and now taking a moment to notice what it is just to stand.  Now inviting you to pick one foot up, move it forward and place it on the ground, and then take several more steps, noticing all the while just what it is to walk; not thinking about walking, or thinking about what walking might involve, just noticing what it is to walk.  Noticing the sensations within the body, the contact with the floor, moving slowly and deliberately so you have time to catalogue all that arises.  Stopping after several steps, and noticing what it is to just stand now.  And beginning again, for several more steps.  Letting go of each step as it is completed, attending just to the current step.  Not thinking about walking when you’re standing, nor anticipating stopping while you’re walking.  As thoughts arise, allowing them to move through the mind like clouds across a blue sky, not pushing them away nor holding on to them.  Learning to ride the experience of each moment as it arises.

If movement other than walking is more appropriate for you, knowing that you can attend to the present moment experience of moving any part of the body, in any deliberate way.

We hope that you can join us this week as we walk in community (seated movement will also be offered).  Monday evening at Sama Yoga,  One note:  Monday evening at Sama Yoga, Stephanie Joyce returns to offer gong meditation (thank you, Stephanie!)
