Here are a few quick tips that I’ve discovered during my attempt to run mindfully.

Motion from Non Motion

Imagine that you are still (standing in the same place) as you start running.  Try and keep that ‘stillness’ in your mind – even as you increase your pace. In Buddhism, all motion is said to result from non motion (stillness). Try and keep the non motion as the center of your attention.

Sync your mind with your heartbeat

Your mind will try to wander. While you can come back to your breath, it may be easier to come back to your heart.  Just be aware of the pumping of the heart – that should bring your mind into the present moment.
