Walking Into Stillness

By John Holland

I just got back from a week on a cruise to the Caribbean. It was a work cruise, but I did manage to have some downtime. I met a lot of great people who traveled from all over the globe to participate in this special cruise, and of course I met many of their loved ones from the Other-Side as well. Many of those on board made new friends that helped each other, cried together, and laughed together! Once again you realize we are all connected. When I did have a chance to unwind, I spent time on my veranda, and as I looked out at the breathtaking ocean that spread out before me, it seemed to have no end. It gave me a chance to think about the year, my loved ones, and to simply just enjoy the beauty around me. On the last day, we anchored off Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas, and I decided to go ashore and take a long walk on a beach alone to practice an active meditation that allowed me to connect with spirit and also my loved ones. It was a beautiful experience and one I will cherish for a long time to come.

What do I mean by an “active meditation?” You’ve probably done one and not even realized it, but if you haven’t, I want to share how you too can experience this. Have you ever walked or seen a labyrinth? While some are obviously looking to find their way out, others are often involved in what’s known as a “walking meditation,” or a form of meditation in action, in which the experience of walking is used as a catalyst to combine movement with inner calmness. Anytime you actively focus your mind on a single point or activity with a sense of concentration, you can enter some form of meditative state.

Now the most important point of all active meditations is to be fully aware of the routine activity that you’re carrying out. In other words if you’re walking, just walk; if you’re running, just run; and if you’re washing dishes, just wash the dishes. Every time your mind starts to wander, focus on what you’re doing and bring it back to the task at hand.
