Join Dominica Fisher, Director of Creative & Meditative Exploration for a special "walking meditation."
Walking meditation is a skill that anyone with any meditation experience can easily incorporate into their lives. This 30-minute class will instill the "how" for you to find a meditative moment in daily life walking to and from a meeting or gathering, from the car to the home, from any point A to point B.
This is a technique in receptive seeing. We employ a narrow focus for most of our waking lives, tuning out our surroundings. We do this because usually we are lost in our own inner world, and so we take in a narrow focus to keep us from running into objects, people, etc and to keep us safe. With this meditative practice, we train our eyes to take in our entire surroundings. And as with a meditation where we close our eyes, this soft focus walking meditation brings us to the now moment, giving us a momentary break from the all of the thoughts that occupy our minds.
