In this podcast episode, we explore the practice of walking meditation as a form of embodied mindfulness. The episode begins by tracing the historical roots of the practice, from the early Buddhist tradition of Cankama to its evolution into Kinhin within Zen Buddhism. We then offer a detailed analysis of the two primary forms. The podcast first examines Zen Kinhin, explaining its role as an extension of seated meditation (zazen), its specific physical techniques like the shashu hand posture, and the synchronization of breath and movement. Following that, the episode delves into Theravada walking meditation, focusing on its function as a practice for developing insight (Vipassanā) and the method of using bare attention and mental noting to deconstruct the physical experience. This podcast provides a direct comparison between the two traditions, highlighting their different philosophical aims, forms, and roles within a practitioner's regimen. Finally, the episode discusses the documented psychological and physical benefits of the practice, including stress reduction and improved cognitive function.
