An old fashioned word or phrase that describes a meditative walk
An old fashioned word or phrase that describes a meditative walk. It's not a constitutional but it's something that Ben Franklin, or Thomas Edison would do to clear their mind, rejuvenate, reconnect, invigorate, rebalance etc. I think there is a noun for this activity. They might say "I am going to take my ...."
Solution 1:
How about:
- Ramble
- Constitutional
- Meander
- Stroll
Solution 2:
Perhaps the word you are looking for is perambulation. The verb perambulate is defined as:-
v.tr.
To walk through.
To inspect (an area) on foot.
v.intr.
To walk about; roam or stroll.
so the third meaning turned into the noun form would be quite close to what you want.
Solution 3:
Kinhin is the walking meditation that is practiced between long periods of the sitting meditation known as zazen.
