On day 5 of your Week of Wellness, we are going to do the Walking Meditation also known as Kin Hin. This practice is meant to train us to integrate meditative awareness into ordinary life and the most mundane activities, to anchor us and quiet our mind.

It is a simple practice that gives us all the benefits of seated meditation: increased energy, equanimity, and awareness.

There are numerous health benefits to walking meditation. Walking peacefully, with intention, regulates and reduces the level of the stress hormone cortisol. It is linked to decreases in depression, increases in bone development, and neuronal regeneration.

In #Sophrology we incorporate the KinHin in techniques to reinforce the unity of body and mind.

The most important thing is to walk mindfully, in silence, just calming the mind and becoming present. This exercise takes less than 10 minutes. Less than 10 minutes a day to dedicate to yourself, how hard can that be?
