Self Care: Walking Meditation

My massage table is patiently waiting for this period of "shelter in place" to come to an end. In the meantime, walking meditation can contribute to your sense of being grounded and at ease in your body. It doesn't need expensive equipment and can be done anywhere your feet happen to be. Focus on your breath, feel the bottoms of your feet connected to the surface they are touching. With your first step, imagine your inhale breath moving up the ball of your foot and the back of your body, over your head and pausing for a moment at your crown. Transfer your weight and slowly exhale, imagining your breath moving down the front of your body and moving into the the earth beneath the soles of your feet. Imagine your lungs filling with light which radiates into your community, and spreads itself across the planet, healing everything in it's path. And repeat.
