It isn’t always necessary to sit in silence with crossed legs
in order to meditate or benefit from the meditation. Walking
meditation is an excellent example of this. Walking meditation
requires the use of focus much in the same way as other types
of meditation. The difference is that the focus is placed upon
the walking experience.

With walking meditation therefore, we are mindful of the
experience of walking; the movement of our legs, the movement
of our arms. We focus upon the rhythmic motions of walking.
Walking meditation also differs from traditional meditation in
that we are aware of and participating in our surroundings.
Whereas with the usual types of meditation, one withdraws into
silence and closes the eyes. Obviously we can’t do that with
walking meditation because we need the eyes open to see where

We are all, from time to time, faced with challenges, struggles and
adversity in our life – especially if we are faced with a move across
the ocean or into a new and foreign environment. It is all part of
the wondrous, joyful experience called life. Yet our reactions to
each bump in the road govern whether the bump sets us momentarily off
course or throws us completely off the road.

As much as we all like to believe that we face each experience having
learned the lessons from the experiences in our past, the truth is
that many of us have to repeat the same lessons over and over again
before we are truly able to graduate Life’s Lessons.

others.

in three different ways:

health can be attained through natural means. The truth is there
