What’s in a walk? Your whole life. Where you came from, where you’re going, what you’ve been through, what you carry, what you shed. Every step, every posture a vignette of your unique path of evolution.
Every act has the potential to become devotional. I practice the “andante” meditative walk as a way of re-connecting with myself, my environment and my purpose.

You could put this piece of music on headphones and walk with it out in nature, letting its slow, contemplative energy lull you into a meditative state. How do you feel? What comes up for you in your sacred walk?
