Quakers are also urged to see God in the faces of others. Quaker founder George Fox urged us to "walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in everyone." As we do so, we encounter God in people, if our spiritual eyes are open to seeing the Divine that way.
Spiritual Practice of the Day
The origin of the phrase "to saunter" is good medicine for modern people caught in the too-muchness of life. At a certain point in time, medieval Europeans developed the custom of "sainting" things. . . . The cross was sainted (Santa Cruz), and even the earth was sainted. This became St. Terre, from which we gained the phrase, "to saunter," that is, to walk on the earth with reverence for its holiness."
Just Be
Spiritual Practice by Nina Lesowitz
Try a walking meditation the next chance you get. Whether it is a walk around the block, in a park, or on the beach, just begin walking and empty your mind of tasks, troubles, and worries and just be. Observe your surroundings with fresh eyes and enjoy the beauty around you, even if it is a flower blooming through a crack in the sidewalk.
Bottoms of the Feet
Spiritual Practice by Jan Chozen Bays
As often as possible during the day, place your awareness in the bottoms of your feet. Become aware of the sensations on the bottoms of the feet such as the pressure of the floor or ground beneath the feet, or the warmth or coolness of the feet. It is particularly important to do so whenever you notice yourself becoming anxious or upset.
The Great Mystery
Spiritual Practice by Frances Sheridan Goulart, Jamie Sams
Origin:
Jamie Sams, contemporary Native American writer and author of fourteen books.
Options:
This is the perfect prayer to say anytime in God's backyard and/or as a walking meditation, reciting a line, walking and reflecting, reciting a second line, stopping to reflect, and so on.

Praying in Different Positions
Spiritual Practice by Tom Cowan
Try praying in positions different from the one you usually use. Lie down on your back as well as stomach. Sit. Sit in different places. Stand. Kneel. Try a walking meditation through a quiet park or meadow. Whatever your favorite position and place are, vary them from time to time. Not only will you discover that the power of prayer and the presence of God are everywhere, you will also keep your spiritual practice from becoming routine.

Taking Walks for God
Spiritual Practice by Avodat ha-Kodesh
If your custom is to take walks, you should intend it for the sake of heaven — in order to be healthy for the service of God, blessed be He. Your thought should be that you are exercising so that your mind will be relaxed and vigorous, so that you will see how to act in all your affairs as is proper [that is, psychological health]. (Avodat ha-Kodesh, Moreh b'Etzba, 3-123)
Take a Walk
Spiritual Practice by David Kundtz
The literal translation of St. Jerome's Latin words is, "It is solved walking." In other words, if you have a problem to solve — or a decision to make, or a crisis to face, or a knotty question to resolve — take a walk. Take a walk? Yes.
Jerome must have had many problems to solve. He is known for translating the entire Bible from its original languages into Latin. And he must have known this walking-around wisdom from firsthand experience. He would return to his writing table refreshed from his walk, able now to render a sentence that had resisted his previous efforts, into the smooth-flowing language that is the hallmark of his translation.
In many ways, the fourth-century challenges of Jerome are probably not much different — at least in their type, if not in their frequency — from the twenty-first century problems we face today.
Walking solves problems because it allows the soul-part to rest while the body-part works. It allows the mind to notice the air, the light, and what's going on in the village. These processes refresh the intellect and allow it to cut through what formerly had been too tough a surface.
This working-it-out, this clearing and refreshing, are processes that happen on their own, during the walk. You don't have to bring your problem-to-be-solved with you on the walk. If you do, it might not work. Rather, leave the problems behind. Then go for a walk.

Share Your Past
Spiritual Practice by Alan Epstein
Share some significant moments from your past with your partner. The open and expansive. Make sure you include enough details about these events to make the stories interesting, to allow your significant other to understand you more deeply or in a different way.
Did you once take a backpacking trip into the wilderness alone and find that the solitude introduced you to parts of yourself you never knew existed? Did you once spend hours a day humming melodies from Bach and Mozart, which inspired you to take up the flute? Did you ever help a friend or relative through a difficult time — like the breakup of a relationship or the death of someone close — and later find it was your support or encouragement that was crucial to that person's regaining peace of mind? Tell your partner what happened. Search your memory and relive the experience as if it just took place.
Try to tell the whole story from as many points of view as possible. If you are describing how you opened up a bicycle repair shop, tell your partner what your parents thought of the idea, and how your friends reacted as well. Ask him or her to listen carefully, interrupting only to ask questions about particular details or developments of the story.
It's often a good idea to talk about your significant past relationships, to discuss how they affected you, how they changed you, what you learned from them. If you allow your partner to participate in the storytelling by asking questions and providing feedback, he or she will feel closer to you, and you will have fostered that closeness by having opened up your life in a very intimate way.
Walking Meditation: Wind
Spiritual Practice by Eric Harrison
This ancient practice is quite delicious.
Focus on the movement of air over your body as you walk or even sit outside. Even on a still day, the air masses shift around you, touching your cheek, neck or leg in succession.
This is a very sensual practice. It feels like the earth is breathing over you. It's quite passive, like listening to sounds. You just wait for the next lick of air on your skin.
Effortless Effort
Spiritual Practice by Pragito Dove
If you simply allow things to happen, not choosing, then you can deeply, respectfully, and gratefully accept whatever comes to you as a gift from the universe.
Pause to Simply Breathe
Spiritual Practice by Nguyen Anh-Huong
During outdoor walking practice, in order to connect more deeply with all of the healing elements within and around you, you may want to stop walking from time to time and simply breathe. The more you make yourself available to these elements, the more you are refreshed and healed. You may enjoy this exercise. "Breathing in, good morning birds"; "Breathing out, thank you for your songs," or "Breathing in, hello blue sky"; "Breathing out, thank you, dear blue sky, for being there for me." When you can make yourself more present in this way, the birds and the blue sky are yours to enjoy and hold. If you continue to breathe consciously and smile to the sky, its space and beauty begin to penetrate your whole being, nourishing you and waking within you the seeds of joy, love, and freedom. And during this time, you will refrain from watering the seeds of sorrow, anger, and despair.

Spiritual Practice of the Day
Each human being goes through a door to the kingdom of God. This door is exactly as high as you are when you walk on your knees.

A Prayer for Walking in Faith
Spiritual Practice by Richard A. Hasler
Sovereign God, may I be aware of your presence with me on my daily walk. Others may not see what is happening, but I "walk by faith, not by sight." Assist me in sending "flash prayers" of your love toward everyone I meet today. Amen.

Walking Down the Street
Spiritual Practice by Pragito Dove
Four-Minute Meditation: Walking down the Street
This shift of perspective brings you more in touch with yourself, helps you become more deeply rooted in yourself. Your self-confidence and self-trust are greatly enhanced. When you remove judgment, love appears.
Next time you're walking down a street, or sitting on a park bench or in a coffee shop, notice how you judge people as they pass by; for example, the way they dress, whether they smoke, are overweight, are chewing gum, how loudly they talk, what kind of car they drive. Bring your attention inward, to observing your mind and the judgments it is making about what it sees. The knack of it is to bring your attention from the people, outside you, to yourself, and what is going on inside you. For example, as you walk down the street, first bring your attention to yourself, to your feet on the ground, to your breathing, to the swing of your arms. Become aware that "in this moment I am walking down the street." And now, observing the passersby, notice any judgments passing across your mind.
Whenever you are walking down a street, do this, even if it is just for a moment or two. Have fun with it!

Walking Home After Work
Spiritual Practice by Adair Lara
When I'm walking home, my head still full of problems with my boss, I try not to let myself get all the way there without noticing it's a crisp winter day and that it's a pleasure to be striding along in a warm coat, watching the sun set the windows of the city on fire. I stop and sit for a while on a bench, listening to the shouts of kids playing basketball in the fading light, and feel my spirits rise, simply from having paid attention.

Noticing God's World
Spiritual Practice by David J. Wolpe
We can reawaken our own faculty of noticing the world by seeing it through the eyes of our children. We drive to work the same route everyday and see nothing. But if we bring a child in the car, that child can fix on something wonderful. As often as not, it is children who carry out the advice of naturalist John Burroughs: "If you wish to see something new, take the same walk you took yesterday." We can take the same walk, and if we only pay attention each time, the world will present a new angle of it's familiar dress.
Noticing God's World. This exercise is a familiar one — a nature walk. But it does not have to be done in the forest. You can walk around any neighborhood, or even in your backyard. You are looking for wonders that God has created. It could be insects, grass, stones — anything. Do not forget that children are a couple of feet closer to the ground and they may naturally notice things that we have long since literally "outgrown."
A companion to this is to keep a "wonder table." That is a place where children can display wonders they have found like pinecones, seashells, or birds' nests. Feel the depth of the natural awe for these everyday wonders.

Affirming the Body
Spiritual Practice by Bruce G. Epperly, Lewis D. Solomon
Some of us "sweat our prayers." If you are a person who walks in the morning or evening, try this form of bodily prayer. With each step, envisage God's healing light radiating through your body from your head to the soles of your feet. As you experience the Divine Light, proclaim an affirmation for each part of your body, such as:
We proclaim our original wholeness by bringing Divine grace to every bodily activity, from sexuality and birth, to family meals and a child's first steps, to the hug of a friend and a lover's kiss.

Keeping Christ or Buddha on Your Shoulder
Spiritual Practice by Andrew Harvey
This wonderful method was taught to me by the abbess of a contemplative order in Oxford. She was a vibrant, big-boned, red-faced woman straight out of Chaucer, and we were great friends; because she couldn't leave her cloister and needed to exercise every day, she had had to invent things "to spicen life up a bit."
"And this is what I came up with twenty years ago now," she told me on a dreary winter afternoon. "I've been using it ever since. When you start to walk, imagine Jesus or Mary (and I'll add here anyone you deeply love or believe in) standing on your right shoulder, radiating divine light and love to you, and wanting to come on a walk with you. As you walk, just imagine that you are walking with them, and concentrate in your heart on their living presence."
This is a method I have used very often and always found calming and purifying. Another beautiful variation I have used is to imagine Jesus or the Mother actually walking silently by your side, filling you with their joy and peace and subtly waking you up to the divine in you and around you.

Walk Like a Tiger
Spiritual Practice by Thich Nhat Hanh
When you begin to practice walking meditation, you might feel unbalanced, like a baby learning to walk. Follow your breathing, dwell mindfully on your steps, and soon you will find your balance. Visualize a tiger walking slowly, and you will find that your steps become as majestic as the steps of a tiger.

The Welcoming Path
Spiritual Practice by Thich Nhat Hanh

Contemplating the Stars
Spiritual Practice by Pragito Dove
Before you go to bed at night, step outside for five minutes. Look up at the stars, the moon, the night sky. Realize the vastness of our universe. Remember you are an intrinsic part of it. Look into the night; feel the darkness, the scent of evening. Listen to the silence, aware that the birds, the whole world is sleeping now. Walk on the ground. Feel it underneath your feet, supporting you. Then go inside, get into bed, and feel the comfort of the universe enveloping you as you fall asleep.

Meditation While Walking
Spiritual Practice by Thich Nhat Hanh
Walking meditation is meditation while walking. We walk slowly, in a relaxed way, keeping a light smile on our lips. When we practice this way, we feel deeply at ease, and our steps are those of the most secure person on Earth. All our sorrows and anxieties drop away, and peace and joy fill our hearts. Anyone can do it. It takes only a little time, a little mindfulness, and the wish to be happy.

Aerobic Walking Prayer
Spiritual Practice by Bruce Epperly
In my own morning spiritual disciplines, I often practice an aerobic walking prayer. While I have used a number of approaches, the following is one of the easiest. As I begin my walk, I simply notice the quality of my breathing and attempt to breathe deeply at a regular rate. After a few minutes, I change the focus of my breath. With each breath, I imagine healing light entering my body, permeating my mind and brain, neck and shoulders, heart and circulatory system, stomach, legs, and feet. As I exhale, I let go of any tension or stress I may be experiencing at the moment. When my mind wanders, I return to my focus on healing light without judgment or self-criticism. As I conclude my walk, I experience the healing light of God surrounding my body with energy and protection as I put on "the whole armor of God."

A Prayer for Being Conscious of Others
Spiritual Practice by Richard A. Hasler
Gracious God as I walk with you in my own spiritual journey, may I be conscious of other pilgrims along the way who may need my help, and who may also be of help to me when I falter. Amen.
A Prayer for Walking in Glory
Spiritual Practice by Richard A. Hasler
Lord, help me to walk in the midst of your creation with eyes wide open and give you praise for the glory that surrounds me. Amen.
