Walking Meditation [With CD and DVD]

This package pairs a book with an instructional DVD and an audio CD to teach walking meditation, a practice that turns ordinary steps into a chance to be present. Thich Nhat Hanh, a Buddhist teacher, and his student Nguyen Anh-Huong guide readers through the basics, showing how to notice the everyday wonder in each step, whether on a trail or a crowded sidewalk.

The material explains how to loosen habitual patterns of body and mind, and how to use slow, mindful walking to face difficult feelings such as anger or worry. The authors also draw on a Buddhist idea of letting go of wanting, so that a walker neither chases goals nor runs from discomfort. The five guided meditations on the CD add structure for practitioners of any faith or none.
