Walking a Moving Meditation

Growing up by the Peak District in the UK allowed me to connect with nature from a very early age. I would spend much of my time out on trails with either family or friends. I have happy memories of some amazing walks with University friends who were simply wowed by the scenery.

Now that I'm spending more time in Southern Spain, I've been able to get out and explore the area. Finding trails here is much more difficult than in the U.K. There seems to be lots of private land, hunters, no maps, no books and very few signs. After some searching I did manage to find a lovely lady Johanna of sur-walks.com and a useful website walksinandalucia.com both sources have given me the confidence to just get out there and walk and discover the natural beauty this place has to offer.

I've now discovered some beautiful walks with such varied terrains. It's such a great feeling when I'm out walking with family and friends and there are those beautiful shared moments of silence. Those moments when I know everyone is being mindful and it is in those moments that we can all feel connected to each other and to nature.
