- Опубликовано: 31 окт 2021
- Many of us think of meditation as something done in a seated position on the floor or in a chair. However, meditation is not limited only to that. Walking meditation is designed to bring our body and mind together as we walk through our daily life. In this video, Mingyur Rinpoche discusses why walking meditation is beneficial but also why it can be challenging.

I really like the "this is finish now" at the end :D feels nice
sounds like dropping the sword. Or like saying "this is KAPUT" 😂
@@censura1210 I haven't heard of either xD
"It helps to integrate meditation into everyday life". That’s it, right there.
🙏🙏🙏Thank you Mingyur Rinpoche
I often find walking meditation easier than sitting meditation. The rhythmic, repetitive action of walking provides the mind with something to rest on (much like the usual breath), there is a natural experience of stillness in motion, of flow, and of connectedness with the environment through tactile sensations. I also find it easier to attain a sense of stability and balance in walking than in sitting with an imperfect posture. It just works for me.
I totally agree this is very clever !
Absolutely.. even I can’t sit and meditate
I do it on my dog walk through the woods, it is a great way to be.
Walking in nature and chanting is my way …
Walking meditation works "better" for me, too! I love doing it in nature like in the mountains.
While on my way to office, I tried walking meditation, I ended up in the park😬

Lmao
😂 thanks for making me smile

Thank you Rinpoche 🙏 I wish all of us can be safe, healthy, and happy 🙏🙏🙏 May the blessings of the Triple Gem always be with you
Yesterday I had long walk in the forest and it felt like meditation 🌲🍂🍁🌲🌲🚶♂️🌲🌲🚶♀️.🌲🌲🌲🍁🍂
Thank you Rinpoche
I used to do this while walking my dog. Been slacking lately on the mindfulness, so I'm gonna be doing this tomorrow morning. Thank you Rinpoche!
Something that might make it easier is remembering to breath during the walk or breathing in the same tempo as your steps.
U gave me a new life from deep depression, stress to joyful. Transform from depressive mind to calm workable pliable.
I try to meditate on my way to the train every morning. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. This may help me improve my technique. Thanks!
When you drop your all techniques then meditation begins ..
Not to sound weird but when you are feeling like it is not working, that is a deeper part of yourself, your subconscious, being stimulated to release deep pain and anxiety that you may not even be aware of. When that happens, "it is not working" just think that all it takes is time just wait patiently and see what happens.
Another point to note that may help is when you think "it's not working", realize that it is a very common experience and that it is ok. Do not beat yourself up, do not push yourself too hard, meditation is just like everyday life there is both good and bad days. Accepting that it's not working is also in essence, meditation, so you should view it as a good thing. May you be happy and continue this path to be free from suffering :)
When meditation doesn't go as well, the intention to meditate is still there. I think that's very important. Sometimes I have the same experience, like my meditation didn't go as well as before. Sometimes I'm more easily distracted. But we're students and every time is a learning experience. Learning about our minds and how they work. Success is often preceded by many failures. Wishing you success and a good meditation experience :)
On days when it's not working try your best not to be aware and try your best to be lost in thought.
The best thing in 21century is walking meditation. If plus music its awesome. Healthy thing. I practice 3 hours everyday. Tell about it everyone
Mingyur Rinpoche! Infnita Gratidão!!!
I don’t work out, one bit. I’ve been doing Kundalini meditation since I was 16 - so roughly 15 years. You don’t need to be “fit” or “in shape” to meditate. Hope someone in need of it reads these words.
This video is great! Walking meditation can be so powerful and meaningful, but does not always have to be very slow and methodical. We love YMR's teachings! He is such a blessing to us all! Sadhu x 3!
I am very grateful for your teachings :)
Thank you so much Rinpoche🙏❤
Thank you rinpochey for this precious message

Thank you very much for this beneficial advice, Rinpoche!
Thank you for this lesson 🙏
Thank you Rinpoche la🙏
Thank you 🙏 I'm a meditation teacher & have taught the walking meditation as one technique. I suggest going somewhere in nature where there's no noisy traffic nor lots of people, if possible of course. Also whenever possible to walk on natural surfaces with barefeet (which is also "earthing"). As we walk, breathe deep but not forced breaths into the abdomen & to walk with purpose, ie to set the intention of what we're doing & focus on putting one foot in front of the other. Then as we walk, feel the sensation of the air/wind on the body, to feel cool air enter the nostrils as we inhale & warmer air on the exhalation. Also when we walk with barefeet, have awareness of the sensations between the soles of our feet & whatever surface we're walking on. I suggest to do it alone but it's ok to do with a friend as long as we don't talk & don't be too close to each other's energetic field 👣🙌
It can also be interesting to do it in a crowded area as it forces you to be aware if you judging anyone or yourself and to recenter your focus

Mingyur Rinpoche has changed my life so much. Now I share meditation on my channel too. He’s a true inspiration and my goal is to find a kind of meditation which is compatible with my daily life, so I never have to stop! :D
You are a life saviour Rimpoche. Following your advice brought so much difference in my life
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💎💎💎
Life is a journey, find the right path.
Thanks for this it realy relax me and make me feel good
Oooh my God… I didn’t think it was possible! This is what I do! I walk meditating and I kind feel like I am gone! It’s so good!
Sleeping meditation is my favorite, 0-absolute thinking and 100% peaceful during a non-recollection of dream.
Thank you... my Buddha guide
Thank you .

Mindful walking 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I will try that on my way to yoga class.
Thank you! I'd really like for you to do more guided meditations! Something about you has literally helped with my chronic pain!
There's lot of practices for chronic pain that focus on mind-body nowadays. Hope you have looked into that as well. I'm almost pain free now after over 10 years with back pain.

I am doing a long time walking meditation. But not just walk. It helps a lot to do walkingmeditation in the morning when Iam to tired to sit. First walking than sitting.
Thank You Rinpoche. When I walk (almost every day), or when I am running my mind is always empty and relaxed. Focused on breathing and the movement. Which hardly happens while I try to do meditating sitting. I guess I should do walking as my daily meditation.
That's good. Some people prefer walking meditation to sitting meditation. However, our meditation teacher discouraged that. We should be able to meditate in any position. The most important thing is ability to maintain the awareness continuously. Sounds like you are doing fine anyway.
@@ayeaye1363 thank you! I always try to meditate just sitting listening to my breathing, but my mind really switches off and focuses on one thing, when I do move. If I knit for example it is the same when I walk, my mind focuses on what I am doing, how I am doing it and can not think on anything else. Anyway thank you for your thoughts and help.
@@Tora_74 It is still much better than not practsing at all. How about any other position e.g. lying down, standing up position etc. Awareness comes and goes but we must keep practising. Meditation is the most essential skill we all should learn and practise. I used to feel miserable most of the time and get angry easily. Now I feel much more relaxed and at peace.
If I do meditate lying I tent to fall asleep. But standing works somethimes while I do the cooking or dishwashing. Funny as it is, when I use my hands or I move, it is easyer for me to switch my mind of. I agree that meditating is important both for our body and mind.
@@Tora_74 It is better if you fall asleep, while you are meditating. Do you notice you are still meditating in your dream?
Thank you 😌

I usually do sat down or laid down meditation or just breathing techniques. But I will definitely be giving this a try. Even though it seems a bit hard due to the inner focus and focus on one self
I can only speak for myself here, but sitting meditation helped me to get in touch with myself. For many years I thought that a part of me had died, but it was ever present and tended to manifest itself in negative ways. Talk about the chaos of everyday life. What it really wanted was attention, and I describe it as a wounded part of myself. Now, when I engage with others there's a part that shows, but I can notice the same thing I noticed within me. A person I meet might not notice this, but it's almost as if I recognize that part of their-self that they don't.
In doing so, it is as though I bring that part into a positive light, so they don't have to. At least, for me, this is now an intuitive way to connect with other people.

Rinpoche makes it so simple : )
Wow👌.
Many video's of wlking meditation say it should be slow , this I find difficult , I walk a lot , but have not meditated for this reason.
So, thank you for explaining that it can be at my natural pace and what to take notice of ..
Years ago we learned a certain type of walking meditation where the hands are clasped over the navel in a certain way .
And yes Barefoot and deliberate steps that were more on the slow side but our teacher did say they had also learned walking meditation where they go faster and they even had running meditation !
I'm not saying to walk barefoot outside if the environment isn't right but when you do it indoors you're supposed to usually be barefoot and concentrate mostly on the feeling of your feet touching the floor .
Wonderful! I also find this very helpful:
Meditator becomes aware of a number of stages in the process.
1. Lift 2. Bend 3. send
4. drop 5. put 6. press
Then add,Intending to lift - lifting Intending to bend - bending
This training will synthesize into awareness of what mind is attending to.
Free your mind.. Thank you John Denver
I believe ,what ever you we as long as we are aware of what we do and enjoying the moment ,be at the present moment ,thats meditation .
Simple technique & effective. Daily sitting & walking meditation is good for mind & body. Walking contemplation is similar but mind is mulling some sutra or scripture or technique - often inspiration or insight develops during course of walking contemplation.
Meditate is the best thing in ower life!
I cant help but keep walking instead of taking a break and looking around and noticing the nature and the feeling

Good Idea for Meditation blisseme
🙏🙏🌷🌷buddha saranam
I started practicing Silat and Escrima in 1993 and Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi in 2008. I am too disabled to train now. I just practice a little bit. I am reading The Tibetan Book Of The Dead. I have been learning Buddhist Meditation for 8 years. I learned Taoist techniques from books a long time ago. The teachings of The Buddha have aided me immensely. I lived in the forest for a year and fasted 45 days before I had studied meditation. I can't walk much I will focus when I walk!

Very useful! I'd like to try it next time I go out or maybe just at home. 😃

I would love to hear a talk on changing wrong beliefs. I have recently been finally facing painful things I have carried, and I've discovered that the pain in them is held in beliefs that I adopted before I was old enough to choose what I believed. As I practice, it gets a little easier every day to overcome and experience life without them, but sometimes they come back as if they are an old habit that I forget I no longer do. I've discovered a lot about my mind is habitual, almost random, and that is ok. but I would like to bring about a true change in belief, to a correct one, one I know to be better for me and everyone around me. Achieving right belief.
Happy Diwali Rinpoche. Tashi Delek and lots of love. 🙏❤
Super master
The easiest way for me is watching my breath as I walk wherever I'm going. Just be aware of the air coming in and out from your body without controlling it.
Every day I go to draw water from my neighbour's home it takes 2min to reach their, what I noticed that I don't even realized the weight of water that I carried ,I was so lost in my thoughts, it's happened several times. I couldn't able to appreciate the beauty of nature, I was in a autopilot mode. Most of the time, I am like that. I will try walking meditation to be more aware of my surroundings and myself.
Very good
🙏🏻

A good stuff
What a freeing invitation to walk naturally! I used to have a misconception that to meditate or contemplate while walking means I have to intentionally walk slowly. What this did to me was that I became more preoccupied with policing my pace rather than flowing with what was happening in and around me. I guess this applies to breathing as well? Breathe naturally instead of modifying one's breathing?
Good idea

Ultimately one should be in meditation all the time, no matter what activity is being performed - it actually shouldn't even matter. Start by watching your body if it becomes easy, start watching the mind. If you master those things, liberation is not far away - more or less, those are Osho's words.
Hey I have experienced this
Learning languages is no easy feat if even spiritual gurus struggle.
💟
This is essentially mindfulness.
❤
Meditate in everything you do. In other words, just pay attention to your actions.
The slower the energy In the mind the slower the energy in the body.
when do I graduate to walking and chewing gum at the same time?
