<p>Just define a path of 20 to 30 steps. Mark each end of the path, with shoes, sticks or anything. Simpy walk back &amp; forth. Walk up the path. Turn naturally &amp; slowly. Stand and compose. Then walk down the path. Then repeat. If your mind is quiet, the mind will follow the breathing. Also, practise standing meditation anytime. Stand still, relaxed, get in touch with the breathing in &amp; out. </p>
