Walking in the Winter Season

Walking in the winter season can lower your blood pressure and manage your sugar levels. It also helps you to gather your thoughts and get ideas for your work projects. As well as feeling creative in other aspects. Meditating during a winter walk permits you to use your senses and enjoy the scenery. However, you might need to change your breathing techniques.

Breathing techniques make you feel calmer and slow down when you are walking. A smile breathing technique can help with your mood. This technique makes you smile while you breathe through your nose. Although, this breathing technique is usually done while sitting down; It can be done while you are walking and meditating. Smile as you walk, inhale, and exhale, and smile again.

Additionally, alternate nostril breathing can be done while walking slowly. This technique is done during Yoga. However, it can be done while walking outside. Box breathing and breathing deeply through your stomach are other options. The only breathing technique that is not recommended while walking is called Tummo; It is forced breathing technique that makes you visualize and meditate at the same time.
