Sufi Walking Meditation
In Sufism, there is a practice called Nazar bar Kadam (Watch Your Step), which is about walking mindfully and consciously. One should not do anything which may drag him down or which may obstruct his spiritual progress. It also means that one should avoid looking here and there aimlessly, as this pollutes the mind. This is why Sufi saints ask their followers to look at their feet while walking.
This practice is basically the application of the principles discussed in the section on Contemplation of God (remembering God in the heart and watching one’s own mind) to walking.
