So why a walking meditation?

I wanted to create a meditation that included standing and walking so that people could take
their energy with them, first in their meditation, but ultimately embody that energy throughout
the day. I wanted our students to be able to reinvent a new self and to be able to walk
consciously in a new state of being with their eyes opento be able in their waking state to shift
into an elevated state that maintains and sustains an energetic, biological, neurological,
chemical, hormonal, and epigenetic change during their day.
When we can tap into or embody this state with our eyes open, it begins to form new habits and
change our personality. Then, after practicing it over and over, we become more mindful of not
returning to autopilot where we go unconscious and miss the present moment. This is important
because if the body is the mind, the moment we go unconscious and start living on autopilot, we
miss the present moment. And when were not in the present moment, were keeping our
dreams, visions, and goals at arms length.

How we do it
We start the walking meditation by anchoring ourselves in the present moment and closing our
eyes to disconnect from our external environment. We acknowledge the heart centerthe center
of oneness, wholeness, creativity, and where the soul and heart intersects with the unified field
and bring to the center elevated emotions such as gratitude, joy, inspiration, love, etc.
By resting our attention and creating an elevated emotion within our heart, we begin to change
the energy field surrounding our bodies. While our lower centers are all about consuming and
turning energy into chemistry, our higher energy centers are about creation, and in this state we
become more energy than matter. Now were contributing to our field instead of drawing from it.
This is important because this is how we begin the creative process.
After a few minutes of centering ourselves in our hearts, we hold a clear intention in our minds
eye, thus changing into a new state of being and broadcasting a new electromagnetic field. We
then ask our students to begin walking with their eyes open and embodying the energy they
created, as well as the frequency of whatever theyre creating in their future. If we can begin to
take this energy with us during our waking, daily lives, we are activating the same neurological
networks and producing the same level of mind as when we meditate with our eyes closed. So
now were firing and wiring new circuits while connected to our external environment, and our
brains are creating order between our inner and outer world.
By walking in the new energy we create, were embodying the energy of our meditation, and
with every step we take were taking one step closer towards our destiny. In this process were
not only modifying our behavior, were laying down new neurological networks and signaling new
genes in new ways. If we practice this enough times, then well begin to not only carry that
energy with us throughout the day, but embody it. This type of repetition will make us more
mindful in waking hours, and before we know it well start behaving, thinking, and feeling
differently, thus we are reprogramming a new personality self.

The walking meditation is a great way for us to begin to not only embody our future while living
in the present moment, but to start practicing living in that energyliving in that future
behavior, living in those future choices, living in those future thoughts, and living in the feelings
that create our future.
Eyes open or eyes closed? Its your choice.
