"When we walk like we are rushing, we print anxiety and sorrow on the earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earth.
Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet."

"The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms."
🌿
"The earth is so beautiful. We are beautiful also. We can allow ourselves to walk mindfully, touching the earth, our wonderful mother, with each step.
We don't need to wish our friends, 'Peace be with you.' Peace is already with them. We only need to help them cultivate the habit of touching peace in each moment."
🌿
"Smile, breathe and go slowly."
~Thich Nhat Hanh
🌺 Walking is something we do every day, from the moment we get up out of bed. Bring consciousness into your walking. Notice that your feet are touching the ground, that the earth is supporting you and that gravity is keeping you grounded. Become aware of your living presence as you move. Every movement can become a conscious meditation.
Notice also that certain thoughts may appear, for example: "I don't have time for this. I have difficulty slowing down. There's no way I can walk like my feet are kissing the ground..." Allow these thoughts to come and go. Don't give them your attention by believing them or arguing with them.
Simply smile, breathe, and go slowly about your day.
