Walking Meditation For The Senses | LAYC48

Hello fellow travelers in the universe,

welcome back to Lift As You Climb.

Today I'm inviting you to join on a very personal and intimate part of my day.

My days that begin with a walk just before sunrise, so that I can reach

a certain part of my trip, and watch the sun come up over the water.

Just fill my whole being with a sense of gratitude, for what is possible,

every single day when we get up, have faith, take action, and believe

that what we think about, what we purposefully do, we can achieve.

My morning walks begin calculated so that I'll get to that point just

before the sun is above the horizon.

I prepare myself for that experience, by thinking about

what I want to get out of it...

How I will be fully present, and feel all of my senses, and to be present and

aware of the glorious abundance around me, and the experience that I am having.

It's also a time that I repeat an affirmation that I wrote many

years ago, and I continue to use to keep me moving forward...

Lifting me up, so that I can always be better me today than I was yesterday.

So come along and I'll share with you the process that I use.

I encourage you to take that and customize it, and make it

uniquely your own experience.

Get out there in the world, appreciate everything in nature and abundance

around you, and keep moving...

Because that's the secret to staying vibrant and vital in life.

As I begin my walk, I think about how I am grateful for all of my

senses, and how they contribute to my experience of the day.

I think about sight, as one of the 6 senses.

That I have the power to expand my own vision for...

What I see...

What's in front of me on the screen in the moment that I'm in and in the future

that I desire to recognize, to actually see the abundance and the possibilities

that are right there for me to access.

I try to be conscious of sound.

Sounds of nature...

Even the traffic and humanity around me.

It's all relevant to anchoring me to my place in time in this universe.

I hear nature sounds around me.

I hear the call of my future.

But I am conscious, that I can hear and I am grateful for that.

Smell.

Oh, again, so important to anchor me into where I am and who I am.

And inhale, the fragrances around me.

Nature, humanity...

All of it...

It's real.

I'm blessed to live in a beautiful environment surrounded by trees and

leaves and lakes, and autumn smells, and moisture, and muskiness...

And even the tang of the lake water that's in the air.

I am grateful that I can smell.

Taste is that most tactile, often a forgotten sense because the tastes and the

textures of our life anchor our memories.

Think back to a time with your grandmother, or a celebration, or one

of the most joyful times of your life.

There's always a taste memory that will come back with that, if you allow it.

If you cultivate that sense.

For me I can taste the air, and I can taste again, everything

that has been good in my life.

The fifth of the recognized senses is touch, and for me, I'm

touching consciously, feeling my feet touch the pavement, touch

the grass, touch the ground.

Anchoring me into the present, on my walk.

Anchoring me into feeling connected to the universe, and safe with

each step as I move forward.

Very grateful again that I have this physical ability to move, and

continue to work to do that every day.

I've another way to celebrate touch...

And that is I love to touch trees.

I feel the energy palpable when I put my arms around a tree or I lean my forehead

against the tree and just thank it for its beauty, it's strength, it's resilience,

and it's reminder to me to be grounded in all of my activities during the day.

Now, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention a sixth sense that I always count onto

accompany me on my walking meditation, my sunrise walk, and that is, The sense

of intuition and imagination, because that's when my mind is really working and

creating and setting aside any doubts, or limiting beliefs or negative self-talk.

Being present with that sixth sense of allowing for possibilities, makes

for an extraordinarily uplifting walk.

I would like to share with you, my walking meditation...

My walking affirmation.

I will put it in the show notes and make it available to you.

I encourage you to take it and customize it, and make it uniquely your own.

This is my own abundance affirmation, walking meditation.

And I begin.

I am open and ready to receive and master a mindset of abundance,

opportunity, and action.

I am one with the universe, a divine spirit, and unlimited positive energy.

I thank my Guides, Guardians and Angels, for their protection,

direction and wisdom.

I choose to step into my power fully, to embrace that my dreams and desires

exist, because I am meant to fulfill them.

I mindfully practice self-love, self-care, and self-compassion, so

that I am healthy and resilient,

I nurture, celebrate, and use my strengths and gifts to change lives for

the better, starting today with mine.

I am worthy.

I am valued.

I am love.

I hope you enjoyed this walk with me and I wish you a beautiful, abundant day.
