The Moose Jaw Public Library has added a new aspect to their weekly meditation sessions on Thursdays: a walking meditation session through Crescent Park.
Much like the stationary meditation sessions, walking meditation will focus on relaxing and recharging through clearing one’s mind, as the group makes their way through the park.
There will be three walking meditation sessions, interspersed between the usual stationary meditation sessions. Incorporating the outdoors is one way of having people enjoy the park, connecting with nature as well as themselves.
This week will be a walking meditation session on July 18, from noon to 1pm, meeting outside the Public Library; the next two walking meditations will take place on July 25 and Aug. 15, at the same time.
The remainder of the summer will feature stationary meditation upstairs in the Public Library, from noon to 1pm on Thursdays as well.
Tai Chi in the Park has also organized more dates for the remainder of July, returning to the front lawn of the library on Wednesday evenings from 6pm to 7pm and Saturday mornings from 10am to 11am.
There has been much interest in the meditation and tai chi programs, as well as past yoga programs, as they offer a good opportunity to unwind during the day.
