active meditation

Active meditation consists of putting on your sports shoes and getting outside for some fresh air. Whether in your immediate environment or during a special outing in nature, active meditation is accessible and can even be completed during your lunch hour at work.

• As you walk, begin by breathing deeply, silently.
• Become aware of the thoughts inside you and slowly shift your attention away from them to your surroundings.
• Mentally name the details you observe around you that are unique to the current season.
• Pay attention to bodily sensations:
• The temperature of the air, of the sun.
• Wind, seasonal allergies,
• smells, sounds.

If the kids are with you, name your observations out loud and see what catches their eye. And here is the ba.ba of the art of picking up!
