As someone who strives to live life being awake and aware for every moment, I like to try crazy difficult meditation challenges. On this day I spent around 9 hours doing a walking meditation along the streets of Chengdu, China. By walking meditation I mean walking unbelievably slowly and mindfully with every step. In total, I traveled just 1.8 km or 1.1 miles.

I encourage all those interested in mindfulness and meditation to try out the Walking Meditation Challenge. Film yourself walking unbelievably slowly in the most crazy place you can imagine. Please feel free share any crazy walking meditation experiences you've had in the comments section.

The inspiration for this video and this challenge was "Walker" by Tsai Ming-liang, a captivating short film about a monk walking throughout the streets of Hong Kong. I highly recommend it.
