Reference knowledge |
| |
Walking meditation or cankama is to walk back and forth with awareness. It is a simple practice, just walking back and forth while being fully aware of walking. Plan a walking path of about eight to twelve paces long. Hold the arms across the chest, or clasp the hands behind the back. Practitioners then start walking meditation. The technique involves being aware of each foot as it is walking, but do not contemplate it. Practitioners may look around as they walk along the path if they have tension. However, they must not forget to be aware of the feet as they are walking.
In daily life, practitioners can develop sati, for example, when sitting on a bus or boat. They can turn the palm up and down, move the hand, stretch the hand or run the thumb over the fingertips. Be aware of the movement of blinking eyes, breathing, swallowing, Saliva and other physical elements.
In summary, practitioners are to be aware of any movement in accordance with the experience of the actual movement.
Meditation or sitting meditation. Mindfully breathe in slowly, thinking "Bud" Mindfully breathe out slowly, thinking "dho"
