Benefits of Walking Meditation

Walking meditation has origins in Buddhism and can be used as part of a mindfulness practice.
The technique has many possible benefits and may help you to feel more grounded, balanced, and serene. It also helps you to develop a different awareness of your surroundings, body, and thoughts.
Walking meditation is often used by people who sit for long periods. The walking practice helps to get the blood flowing, especially to the legs. It helps to alleviate feelings of sluggishness or stagnancy.
Mindful walking is also a great way to boost blood circulation and raise your energy levels if you’re doing seated work for extended periods.
Walking after eating is a fantastic way to boost digestion, especially if you’re feeling heavy or full.
Movement helps food to move through your digestive tract and may also prevent constipation.
Meditation can also reduce anxiety. If you’re looking to lower your stress levels, you may find it useful to do a seated meditation practice before or after you work out.
A 2017 study on young adults showed that walking is more effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety when combined with meditation.
