This book would make the perfect gift either for yourself or anyone else who connects with walking, nature, and meditation, or for someone who is feeling drained and stressed and in search of a helping hand. The illustrations marry beautifully with the text, and help to encourage a sense of calm contemplation. Author Danielle North is an author and speaker, she is also a founder of Pause Global, a consultancy that acknowledges there are times in our world of speed and stress that you need to slow down. In this book she highlights the benefits of walking, and how those benefits are amplified when you walk in nature. She goes on to say: “Walking meditation combines the ability to focus the mind with purposeful focused movement, so you can expand the natural stress-reducing benefits of walking without any addition effort”. As someone with a mind that is constantly chattering away, I’ve either spent time in meditation trying to stop second and third thoughts from interrupting or felt so tired I have fallen asleep. The author connects with these issues and I immediately felt welcomed and at home, so settled in with real interest. The focus here makes sense, the suggestions feel achievable, and as well as informative and helpful there are numerous meditations to take away with you (particularly if you also have the audio book). Whether you want to skim the surface, or dive down into the meditations it feels as though there are real benefits to be discovered. Supporting and nurturing, Walking Meditations embraces those who step within the pages with a beautifully mindful hug.

About
Walking Meditations Synopsis
Cultivate mindfulness and bring your mind and body in sync with this beautiful book of walking meditations.
Walking meditation, also known as Kinhin meditation, is widely practiced in many forms of Buddhism, blending the physical experience of walking with the focused mindfulness of a meditative state. This can be done anywhere, from a few steps at home to a short walk on a bustling street, or a longer hike in the countryside.
Walking while meditating boosts awareness, improves sleep quality, offers mental clarity and facilitates a mind-body connection. It is a practice you can develop each time you leave the house, to help you refocus and come back to yourself.
This beautifully illustrated book will guide you through the process of finding inner peace while on the move, with a selection of meditations for every season, long and short walks in both a natural and an urban setting, and meditations for creativity, calm and focus. Walking Meditations will help you use your surroundings as a meditative tool so you can restore your energy, come back into your senses and find calm in your day-to-day life.
Contents include:
10-minute mood boost
Coming off auto-pilot
Walking with your senses
Extended meditations for every season
