Stepping into Transition w/ Dan Ainson

Welcome to the bored walk. I’m Sunny and I’ll be your host.

Walking Meditation: Be Awake, Be Aware

This is a walking meditation about being present with the world before you. "A monk asked a Zen master, 'Teach me the essence of Zen.' The Zen Master answered, 'Attention.' 'What else?' asked the hungry monk. The Zen Master replied, 'Attention, attention.' 'There has to be something more,' the disconcerted monk demanded. 'Attention, attention, attention,' said the teacher." We often default to searching for complicated and elaborate solutions to our modern day problems, but often times it comes down to something so simple - Be awake, be aware. ~ Welcome to The Bored Walk - a podcast and leisurely, remote walking club to get you moving more, feeling better and plugging into community one step at a time.
