As the snow begins to melt in the Northern Hemisphere and we take our first steps into the spring season and nature's renewal, I felt it would be appropriate and beneficial to share my instructions for walking meditation.
In this talk, I invite you to cultivate the luminous heart within, reminding you that well-being is not something to chase—it is your natural state. Through presence, loving awareness, and gentle practice, you can nurture the field of well-being in yourself and the world around you.
In these current times, it’s so important to take time to recharge and recalibrate—to unwind the body, relax the mind, and open the heart. That’s why I invite you in warmth and wisdom, to relax into this embodying guided meditation I shared some years ago at Spirit Rock, exploring how to soften into presence no matter the outside circumstance.
