The Morning Walk — A Meditation in Presence ☀️🌿

August 30, 2018

The Morning Walk is one of my favorite exercises and meditations — something we used to do with Byron Katie.
Its essence lies in walking through nature and simply observing the objects around you — naming them by their original, first generation names, without any judgment or evaluation.

For example: sky, tree, grass, person.
Instead of saying: blue sky, tall tree, green grass, beautiful person…

It’s an incredible practice, during which I caught myself noticing how, the moment I looked at something, my mind instantly generated at least five different judgments about it. I discovered how fast my mind was in labeling and interpreting everything.

Then I realized — this is exactly how I was labeling people and situations too, instead of receiving them neutrally, just as they are.
Simply a person — not good or bad, kind or unkind, interesting or boring.

It’s such a fascinating practice — when you simply observe, without judging, and allow things to reveal their own names in silence.
You just wait… and trust that life itself will show you what is what. ❤️

✨ Try it — take a slow, mindful walk without labeling or judging anything you see. Just observe, breathe, and notice what happens within you… and if you’d like, share your insights with me. I’d love to hear what you discover. 🌿💫
