Walking meditation - You don't have to be seated or still to meditate. In walking meditation, mindfulness involves being focused on the physicality of each step--the sensation of your feet touching the ground, the rhythm of your breath while moving, and feeling the wind against your face.

I walk with my feet, not with my head

If I walk with my head, I loose my way

Mindful eating--If you reach for food when you're under stress or gulp down your meals in a rush, try eating mindfully. sit down at the table and focus your full attention on the meal (no TV, newspapers, or eating on the run). Eat slowly, taking the time to fully enjoy and concentrate on each bite.

This food is the gift of the whole universe--the earth, the sky, and hard work

May we bless this food so as to be worthy to receive it

May we take only foods and drink that nourish us and prevent illness

Guided imagery for stress relief--Choose whatever setting is most calming to you. Picture it as vividly as you can see, hear, smell, and feel. If you are thinking about a dock on a quiet lake:

See the sun setting over the water

Hear the birds singing

Smell the pine trees

Feel the cool water on your bare feet
