ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE
Meditations where you are doing something are the best ones for beginners. It is easier to maintain awareness when you are doing an action, rather than sitting still.
This is a dynamic meditation, a 'running meditation'. Why running?
When you are running, you are naturally alert, aware. When you are running, you experience a beautiful unity of body, mind and spirit. It is as if everything inside you is functioning as one, with only one goal. When you sit still, only your body is sitting still, your mind is still racing! Your body and mind are divided. Your body is sitting, but your mind is on its own trip!
When your body is running, the opposite happens. When you are running, your mind sits still. Your mind stops talking. And when you continue to run, after a while, the running takes you over. Then neither body or mind is yours. You become the running!
