Mindful Walking The basic idea is to help you train yourself to observe your thoughts, feelings, sensations and reactions - anything that comes into your awareness in the moment - in a friendly, detached, non-judgmental way. Whatever captures your attention, you become its curious but neutral observer. The net effect is that you develop the gift of healthy detachment from your day-to-day experience, so that rather than getting caught up in the distresses and dramas of daily living, you can maintain a solid core of balance, stability and perspective, anchored in the benign strength of this observing part of you. This powerful skill of mindful awareness becomes more and more robust and reliable over time, delivering innumerable benefits at home, at work and in the every day experience of living. And of course, because you're training yourself to be present to your experience in the now, right as it's happening, the cumulative effect is that your senses grow more alive, your mind more alert, your concentration stronger, your feelings deeper, and your life richer. So, do give each of these unique healing meditation tracks a try, so you can see for yourself which approach on this mindfulness meditation audio suits you best. And if several appeal to you, by all means, mix and match to vary your choices from day to day.
