Many of us have been running all our lives. Practice stopping.

Each moment you are alive is a gem. It needs you to breathe gently for the miracles to be displayed.

Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos — the trees, the clouds, everything.

Walk so that your footprints bear only the marks of peaceful joy and complete freedom. To do this you have to learn to let go. Let go of your sorrows, let go of your worries. That is the secret of walking meditation.

From time to time, to remind ourselves to relax and be peaceful, we may wish to set aside some time for a retreat, a day of mindfulness, when we can walk slowly, smile, drink tea with a friend, enjoy being together as if we are the happiest people on Earth.
