Hello and welcome back to practicing human, the podcast where every day we're getting

a little better at life.

I'm your host, Corey Muscarra, and in today's episode we're going to talk about bringing

I like to wake up early and I go for this long walk here in Palo Alto, usually about

40 minutes in each direction.

At the end of one 40 minute, one of the 40 minute legs, I'll sit down on a bench and

I'll do some sitting meditation and I'll walk back and whenever I'm trying to deepen my

meditation practice, like adding more time to my day, I always do it by first increasing

walking meditation because I find it just the least oppressive form of meditation on

my nervous system.

I get to be outside, I get to move, but I'm simultaneously developing concentration,

mindfulness and awareness.

And I also really appreciate walking meditation because it is training me to bring a certain

quality of awareness, relaxation, attunement, compassion and ease to my moment to moment movement

experience if we could put it that way.

Even though the movements I'm doing throughout the day aren't exclusively walking, there's

bringing awareness to like being still in meditation, which is incredibly important
