#Repost per credit from & the courtesy of @walking_mind_waking_mind ・・・ #myfootprints 🙏 #Thankyou #thay and #sangha and @Lionsroarbuddhism- one of the best magazines and a place of quality teaching on #Buddhism - for covering #Mindfulwalking so well. 👣 It isn't strictly true that taking off my shoes was the only thing changed my life. The other magic ingredient was having spent years doing this careful, slow, devoted practice of Walking meditation in silence with my friends as part of a community. That was the foundation. #Barefoot is pure magic on top of it. I can't separate the two now. (And now, sole-led art is emerging 😊) 🌿 There is something uniquely poetic, earth- loving and compassionate about Vietnamese Zen master Thich nhat Hanh's way of teaching the practice. "Many of us walk for the sole purpose of getting from one place to another. Now suppose we are walking to a sacred place. We would walk quietly and take each gentle step with reverence. I propose that we walk this way every time we walk on the earth. The earth is sacred and we touch her with each step. We should be very respectful, because we are walking on our mother. If we walk like that, then every step will be grounding, every step will be nourishing. We can train ourselves to walk with reverence. Wherever we walk, whether it’s the railway station or the supermarket, we are walking on the earth and so we are in a holy sanctuary. If we remember to walk like that, we can be nourished and find solidity with each step."
