I’m back and I’m here to talk more about how you can walk for health and meditation at the same time.

However, I do want you to be aware of your surroundings, because after all, you don’t want to put yourself in any danger of sudden appearances of automobiles or unruly dogs. Try to find a calm and peaceful place… like a designated walking zone… near the beach or at your favorite park.

This is very important… when you are walking… find an area that is designed for walkers. Such a path in your favorite park or along a nice, long beach.
