How to Walk (Mindful Essentials)

after you finish talking, you can resume walking

If walking feels difficult or challenging, stop. Let your breath lead you. Don’t force it.

While you are walking, smile—be in the here and the now. By doing so, you transform the place where you are walking into a paradise.

Our true home is in the present moment. To live in the present moment is a miracle.

When you walk, only walk. Don’t think. Don’t talk. If you want to talk to others or have a snack, you can stop in order to do so.

Each mindful step is a step toward freedom. This kind of freedom is not political freedom. It’s freedom from the past, from the future, from our worries and our fears

Don’t allow yourself to be carried away anymore. Resist.

When things aren’t going well, it’s good to stop the thinking in order to prevent the unpleasant, destructive energies from continuing.

The address of peace and light is also “here and now.”
