Where does Everyone Sit for Zazenkai?

[Myosha]

Greetings Everyone,
I turned one of my bedrooms into a chapel/sitting area. I have a long hallway for Kinhin.
As I am now disabled and using a walker I haven't quite figured out how to do kinhin with a walker.
I'm open to any suggestions.
I also, sit zazen outside on our patio when the weather is nice.

Hello,

Working with most walker-folk who split open tennis balls, attach 'em to the legs and glide the halls. Hope it helps.

Just walk with the walker as always ... lift and step, pause, lift and step, pause (or glide and step as Myosha described, whichever is good for you) ... each step a total arrival, no other place to be.

Another friend in a wheelchair I advised ... roll a bit, pause. roll a bit, pause ...

Adjust the pace to the breath, moving forward at the top of the breath.

When I first started sitting, I felt the need to have a clear and clean space with a lot of room. I did this the best I could at the time in my studio apartment. I have since moved into a much larger home, but feel no need for the same type of space. It's funny how life works like that. I am currently converting a once guest room into my practice area. While doing this, I have been using a walk in closet. More times than not I have at least one sitting in a nice private, yet spacious area in the woods. I love sitting with nature.

Dylan,
I travel a lot, so I often improvise where I can sit. Sometimes on the edge of a bunkbed in a big dormitory. Sometimes on my still-stuffed sleeping bag in my tiny hiking tent. Sometimes just on the slope of a hill out in the wilderness. Sometimes crammed in with the rush-hour folks on the BART train. Once in the huge formal meditation hall at Tofukuji. Sometimes in a corner of my bedroom. Sometimes in a crowded airport gate waiting area. The fun is seeing where I can find a new way for just being there.

Thanks to everyone for the inspirations. _/\_ Shinzan
