Walking Meditations vs HeartMath

Enjoy the benefits of meditation as you walk. Walking meditation can be just as profound as sitting meditation. It brings the meditative experience into daily activity. Perfect for those who have trouble sitting still to meditate, it's also great for those who enjoy sitting meditations. It helps bring meditation into every moment of the day. Our approach to walking meditation is easy and informal. As you walk, you are gently guided to experience your body and your surroundings fully. Letting go of thoughts about the past and future allows you to experience the present moment more fully.
