When sitting and walking meditation are practised alternately ... - Dhamma by Ajahn Jayasāro
When sitting and walking meditation are practised alternately, meditators are able to greatly extend the length of time they can meditate. Alternating the two kinds of meditation allows meditators to develop awareness both in stillness and movement, thus independent of posture. If either sitting or walking is preferred, then the preferred option can be longer, but the other option should not be abandoned altogether. The particular value of walking meditation is that it produces an awareness more easily integrated into daily life than that which is cultivated in the sitting meditation. Walking mindfully in nature, up and down on a path some twenty to thirty paces long, in the shade of tall trees, is a wonderful practice! Walking meditation is especially valuable for those discouraged by painful feelings during sitting meditation.
