@r0ckyreed "Walking meditation, also known as kinhin, is a practice rooted in various forms of Buddhism, including both Theravada and Mahayana traditions. It involves periods of walking interspersed with sitting meditation, and practitioners typically walk in a specific posture and pace, often synchronizing their steps with their breath" Search YT and you'll find some good sources. *Thich Nhat Hanh was known for promoting walking meditation.

My meditations are simple. The mind settles down to the point where there are no more thoughts. All that remains is awareness basking in a placid ocean of awareness. And sometimes experiences, insights or visuals may suddenly arise out of that ocean of awareness.

That "other realm" was the gift of knowing oneself infinitely.
