About this event

 

Nisa King -Sitting & Walking meditation: The Teachings of Ajahn Chah

 

In the Forest Tradition, alternating sitting and walking bridges deep inner stillness with active life. While sitting refines mental focus, walking injects energy to clear sluggishness—building a durable, "mobile" concentration that doesn't shatter when you open your eyes.

Ajahn Chah taught this approach to help us:
 * Build Mobile Concentration: Maintain presence through active, complex movement.
 * Balance the Mind & Body: Harmonize energy (viriya) and calm to prevent stiffness or restlessness.
 * Break the Illusion of "Time to Meditate": Cultivate continuous mindfulness (sati) in any posture.

We begin with a guided sit using the C.A.L.M. method, followed by alternating 20-minute sets of movement and stillness.

Join us to turn your meditation into a joyful practice that seamlessly carries off the cushion and into your daily life.
