Welcome to A Walk to Surrender. This meditation has two stages and lasts for thirty minutes. You should remain blindfolded throughout the process.
Practise only in a closed, clear and empty room with a level floor. Remove all furniture, sharp objects and anything you could strike or trip over. Close the door so that nobody unexpectedly enters, but do not lock it. Make sure the room is large enough for you to walk safely. Ideally, have another person remain quietly nearby to protect you without directing your movement. It is advisable to do this meditation in a pair, and should be done one at a time. Walk slowly, and stop immediately if you feel unsafe, dizzy or physically distressed.
If you are afraid of darkness, do not force yourself to remain in complete darkness for thirty minutes from the beginning. Start with five minutes and gradually increase the time each day as you become more comfortable. The purpose is not to fight or suppress the fear, but to remain with it long enough to watch what it creates within you.
