   For my last meditation, I wanted to repeat a session that brought me the most interest. I was most intrigued by my experimentation with walking meditation. I have never paid close attention to way the muscles starched and pulled. Walking meditation taught me that I need to "trust what I know". Trust myself in the sense knowing where everything was using my memory and gut. 

    In terms of my previous walking experience, I placed several candles around the room, and  soothing music. Instead of placing a bandana over my eyes, I trusted myself. I walked one foot infront of the other. Noticing yet again the way my foot rolled of the surface, feeling the pressure points through out the motion of every movement. I felt the cold floor press against my bared feet and the listened to the position of the music playing. In my mind I was imagined the entire room. The longer I walked, the more I became confident and comfortable with my surroundings. 

     Walking in the dark taught me one of the most grateful lessons that anyone could experience. Walking meditation symbolizes the way we recognize life. As we go through new challenges in life we are blind to the right and wrong paths until we gain confidendce and trust ourselves.
