This talk details slow walking in meditation, mindful breathing and walking to alleviate suffering, taking two or three steps per breath affirming “I have arrived” and “I am home,” mindful running, grounding in current reality, phrases like “I am solid, I am free,” delving into inner being to dissipate fears, recognizing true essence like water grounding a wave, enjoying meals mindfully reminiscent of Buddha’s practice, focusing on food and community, practicing mindfulness during meals by meditating on five things, recognizing each morsel vividly like calling a beloved, eating with gratitude and joy, fostering shared practice of presence, eating in silence to connect deeply, using sounds like bells and telephones as mindfulness reminders, practicing noble silence, jotting down thoughts instead of speaking unnecessarily, mindful breathing and walking in silence, observing noble silence gradually, and deeply listening to compassionate Avalokiteshvara chant for healing.
