]]> Comment on What are the techniques of meditation?  by Kelly http://vedicodyssey.com/spiritualadventures/2012/01/07/what-are-the-techniques-of-meditation/comment-page-1/#comment-3811 Kelly Sun, 08 Jan 2012 03:09:58 +0000 http://vedicodyssey.com/spiritualadventures/?p=3304#comment-3811 Dandapani, If your meditation technique is to focus on something... let's say the fingers... focusing on each finger. Is that meditation or is that just focus? Or does that just start your focus for you to be able to go "deeper" and eventually you aren't focusing on fingers anymore...? Does my question make sense? Thanks Kelly from Eagle Dandapani,

In the traditional Hindu eight progressive steps to enlightenment (raja yoga), concentration comes right before meditation. "Walking meditation" would be more a practice in strengthening the powers of concentration. The actual act of meditating is best done seated, the breath controlled and senses quietened as we move awareness into deeper states of consciousness.

Could this be a form of meditation, or is this something different? What do you think about people who walk as a form of meditation?
