Try walking meditation. Like the name implies, it's done while walking, usually briskly. Try to pick a nice, scenic area, like out in the country, or at least away from city noise and traffic. Even a tree-lined suburban street at night is good. What you do is: first pay close attention to all the moving parts of your body: your feet striking the ground and pulling off with your toes; the muscles in your legs; the swing of your shoulders; picture yourself from outside and perfect your form, like how would the perfect "walking machine" walk? (That is a little personal thing I do). And of course, your breathing: Feel the air come in through your nose and exhale thru your mouth; get everything in synch, so you are breathing like every two steps are owever you want to do it. And then, one you have your rythym, take in your surroundings and feel yourself immersing with them. It's a great way to meditate and the exercise helps clear your head. Plus you get a bit of exercise from it.

If you've ever struggled with depression, take heart. Mindfulness, a simple yet powerful way of paying attention to your most difficult emotions and life experiences, can help you break the cycle of chronic unhappiness once and for all.

In The Mindful Way through Depression, four uniquely qualified experts explain why our usual attempts to "think" our way out of a bad mood or just "snap out of it" lead us deeper into the downward spiral. Through insightful lessons drawn from both Eastern meditative traditions and cognitive therapy, they demonstrate how to sidestep the mental habits that lead to despair, including rumination and self-blame, so you can face life's challenges with greater resilience. Jon Kabat-Zinn gently and encouragingly narrates the accompanying CD of guided meditations, making this a complete package for anyone seeking to regain a sense of hope and well-being.
