Walking Meditation #2. ENERGY . by Alice B. Clagett

Published on 1 March 2015

Dear Ones,

This is the the second of three walking meditations gifted by Spirit. This meditation has to do with sensing energy.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Those who want to can participate in this meditation while walking.
Or if you prefer, you can remain seated and and meditate while sitting down.
When the walk is finished, we’ll all sit down and meditate for a few minutes. Then we’ll talk about our experience.

We need a volunteer … who has never done this before … to be the leader!

DIRECTIONS FOR THE LEADER

Let your awareness include everyone in the line, for the whole duration of the walk.
Keep your stride short enough so that all the people in the line … even those with a short stride … can easily keep up with you.
Continue walking for a length of time short enough that everyone can accomplish it with ease.

DIRECTIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO WILL WALK

Assemble in a line, with about a yard between you and the next person in the line. If you can touch them with your arm extended, then you’re too close to them.
Begin walking when the person in front of you begins walking; do your best to match their stride.
Feel the Earth and feel the sky. Feel the energy all around you, touching you as you walk. Feel how it changes from moment to moment.

DIRECTIONS FOR THOSE WHO WILL REMAIN SEATED

Sit in a chair. Spine is straight, feet are flat on the floor, eyes open or closed, hands … palms up or palms down, resting on the thighs.
Feel the Earth and feel the sky. Feel the energy all around you, touching you. Feel how it changes from moment to moment.

DIRECTIONS FOR THE SHORT MEDITATION AFTER THE WALK

Sit in a chair. Spine is straight, feet are flat on the floor, eyes open or closed, hands … palms up or palms down, resting on the thighs.
Feel your deep heart, next to your spine. Once you are feeling your deep heart, if possible, also feel your heels touching the floor.
Continue for a few minutes, then relax.

ON DOING THIS WALKING MEDITATION ALONE

You can do this walking meditation alone; you need not walk with other people.

If possible, walk outdoors in nature, or on a quiet residential street.
Or, it’s fine to walk in a small space in your own home.
Remember to feel everything around you. Feel the Earth and feel the sky. Feel the energy all around you, touching you as you walk. Feel how it changes from moment to moment.
