Try the following exercise to practice mindful walking and mindful breathing: As you start walking put your focus on your steps. See how many steps you take for every in-breath and how many for every out-breath.
Lets say, for example, you take two steps for every breath in and three for every breath out. Focus on this step to breath pattern ratio. It helps if you mentally say "in, in" and then "out, out, out" as you are breathing in and out. Keep this up throughout your walk.
Through this exercise you practice being in the moment and being centered.
