This is from the fan blog of Ilchi Lee, ilchileebest.com. I thought it was a good approach to life and a good way to train your brain. It stops the clutter in your mind so you can focus deeply and live life more fully. You can hear your natural instincts, or inner knowing, more clearly.

A way of meditating to keep my brain healthy and functioning well

I also recommend cultivating a state of relaxed concentration whenever possible.

You could try this with all sorts of things-washing dishes, cleaning a floor, driving a car-but I think walking is especially effective and easy for everyone.

The idea here is to approach what you are doing as if the activity itself were a meditation. In a state of relaxed concentration, you become very mindful of each movement that you take, and extremely focused on the task at hand. As a result, the rest of the world seems to melt away, and your mind and body naturally relax.

In the case of walking, you can walk very slowly, feeling every muscle move. Focus on how your body shifts and adjusts its weight, and notice the content of your mind as you focus. Practicing this regularly will help you create a calmer and more focused mind. - Ilchi Lee
