Time For The Season Of The Walking Meditation

It’s that time of year again. The grassing is getting tall and it is time to get the lawn mower out. I’ve been tracking my steps so this year I’m going to see how far I walk while mowing my lawn. I need the extra steps and this should do it. Plus in the summer here in Ohio it is like taking a sauna at the same time.

I’ve got a 1/4 acre and it takes about an hour to do the whole thing if I hurry. I suppose that could come out to around 3 miles or so. Now the bonus on top of getting a workout is that I have to wear earplugs and listening to music is just too loud. Soooo, I have a full hour of mower noise and ears ringing to get in a good long walking meditation.

Believe me, my mind can take me to a lot of places in that amount of time. It can be quite the workout just keeping my thoughts in check let alone the actual mowing. This year I’m arming myself with some fresh affirmations and techniques for self-transformation. Hopefully all that time mowing this year will result in much bigger things than just keeping the grass short.
