Roshi Bernie Glassman, when he was first practicing with his teacher Maezumi Roshi, asked, "What is it that you do during walking meditation?"
Maezumi Roshi answered,"When we walk, we just walk."
Walking meditation is not a break from meditation; it is just a way of continuing our practice in a different form. When the meditation period is over, place your hands together, and bow from your seat. Then rock slowly back and forth and side to side, and slowly stand up, making sure that your legs and feet are not asleep. Be patient and slow if they are.
Once you stand up, place your hands just below your sternum (heart), with your left hand in a softly held fist, wrapping your fingers lightly around your thumb. Then place your right hand over your left with your right thumb across the top of your left hand. Turn to the left, or however the leader indicates, and begin slow walking. If your are practicing in your home, just choose a route for yourself. Begin slow walking meditation by taking a half-step with every cycle of breath (inhalation and exhalation). Keep doing your meditation practice, counting numbers one to ten, following your breath, or whatever your practice is. Walking meditation is just that, walking meditation. Keep your eyes down, don't look around. Just walk.
When the practice leader indicates (if you are practicing in a group) or when you feel that it's time (walking meditation periods are usually from five to ten minutes -- although they can be done, say outside, for a full period), switch to normal walking pace. Make a standing bow, feet together, then resume walking at a normal pace, on your own or following the person in front of you. Breathe naturally. Continue your practice.
When the walking period is over, return to your seat, make a standing bow to your cushion or chair, turn around facing outwards, and make a standing bow to everyone.
Sit down and continue your practice.
Enjoy
