Walking meditation | Mind-Body-Mood Advisor: Leave Stress Behind with Mindful Walking. Mindful walking works whenever, wherever stress strikes. RODALE NEWS, LENOX, MA—There are dozens of strategies you can use to deal with stress: meditation, breathing exercises, even cursing. But perhaps the most effective tool you can use (that won't get you in trouble) is mindful walking. Although remarkably simple to do, it's a very powerful form of walking mediation that can defuse stress within minutes. Mindful walking relaxes the body by channeling anxiety and nervous energy into physical activity and calms the mind by promoting focused awareness.
It's like pushing your reset button, and you can do it in as little time as it takes to walk to the bathroom. The goal is to use walking meditation to gently shift the focus of your attention from worrying about the past or the future, and to focus on what is actually happening in the present moment. Mindful walking can also clear your mind and make you more creative and productive in your day-to-day work.
