Walking Meditation

Kinhin, each step its own arrival

Zen walking practice

Walk slowly enough that each step becomes something you can actually feel: the lift, the swing, the placing down. A hallway is enough. Ten metres is enough. The practice is in the pace, not the distance.

1. 1Find ten quiet metres, inside or out
2. 2Walk at half your normal speed, then halve it again
3. 3Feel each foot lift, travel, and land
4. 4At the end, turn slowly and return
