Today's goal was all about trying new things. Every little aspect of my daily routine was completed in a different process than what I would normally do. After an unusual day I wanted to do something different than sitting down and meditating. I went downstairs where it was pitch black and,had a wide open space. I lit four candles and turned on relaxing music portraying a nature feel. I wrapped a bandana around my face, covering my eyes, that way I can have a full experience. I started to slowly move forward step by step. Noticing certain muscles stretch in order to move. I concentrated on the way my feet rolled off the floor on every step. I began to get anxious if I was going to run into a pole or the wall, however, I trusted myself and turned around moving in the opposite direction towards the music. I took a deep breath and pictured where everything was in the current room. I began to feel a sense of confidence. I listened to the rhythm of the song and my mood reflected into the pattern of every step. My speed started to increase with confidence.
The walking meditation has taught me new aspects of life that I have never encountered intitially. Through new challenges you are walking into them blind, not knowing what is the right thing to do. Every step that I took compares to taking conflicts day by day. I tend to focus on the future and dwell on the past instead of the present. Walking meditation gave me confidence, it taught me that I can get through anything if I say that it's possible.
