You can name each step, thinking of it as “peace” or “happiness.” When your mind wanders, return to experience the sensation of your heel, foot, toes, meeting the ground with each step.

There is a certain kind of intensity that comes from walking very slowly, however, and it might be helpful to do some slow walking in order to feel your way into the practice. There's no particular recommendation for frequency. I used to live in a town where I walked everywhere, and I'd make almost every walk into a practice. You can't do it too often! All the best, Bodhipaksa Hi Linda,

Is there a recommendation for how many times a week walking meditation should be done? Thanks - Linda Can walking meditation be done at a moderate walking pace (target heart rate range approximately 50 – 70% of maximum heart rate) or is it designed for a slow walking pace?

I have shared the concept with others that may not know of the Walking Meditation. Meditation in General is such a good development skill for the human mind I just can't say enough and so I won't.
