|Content=Many of us spend quite a bit of time walking from one place to another, and often we spend that time lost in thoughts that provide no benefit, and often create additional stress and anxiety.  By incorporating meditative practices into our walking, we can shift to enjoying our walks while at the same time gaining new insights and greater peace.

== Headlessness - ''Intermediate'' ==
Walking is a perfect time to perform [[The Headless Way|Headless Exercises]].  Try the following types of things.
* Become [[The Headless Way|headless]] (if you don't know about this, follow the links)
* Become aware of your surroundings in an open, spacious way, noticing how that space includes the location where your head should be
* Expand your headless awareness to your whole body, letting go of the sense of self, ultimately feeling the flow of your walking as a property of The Now, rather than something You are doing or experiencing.
