Can You Chant While Walking?
Yes. Some of the oldest practices assumed feet. Stillness is a luxury, not a law.

Pilgrimage, kirtan on the road, dhikr in motion, a Name under the breath on the way to work: chanting is not owned by the cushion. Walking gives the body a baseline rhythm that a sitting mind often has to invent.
Do not endanger a street for a round. Do not perform a public piety you do not keep in private. Otherwise, yes. The wellness essay on walking is next door. Different room, same legs.
A practice that can only live in ideal conditions will not survive your actual life.

Soul Note
Why Walking Changes a Thought
Because a thought that can only sit becomes a courtroom. Feet are a second opinion.

A bead, a count, a Name. The fingers keep the appointment the mind would skip.
