Page 15 - Walking Meditation
P. 15
We are looking where we are going; thus there is visual input. There is also
sensory input from the movement of the body. Therefore if we can
concentrate the mind while walking and receiving all this sensory stimuli,
then when we change from that posture to a simpler one, concentration
becomes easier to maintain. That is, when we sit down the strength of mind
and power of that concentration carries over easily to this posture. So
walking meditation can help to develop strength and clarity of mind, and a
concentration that can carry over into other less active meditation postures.
