When we hear the word meditation we get an idea that we need to sit in a specific posture and try to concentrate on a meditation object like breathing. This is just only part of the whole practicem of bawana. And Bawana consist of two parts samatha and vipassana(Meaning calm and insight). And both of these can be practiced through out the whole day in your day. Now if for example if we consider samath, my practice of samatha in my daya to day activities specially walking and cleaning I keep on repeating a word like impermenence. So that my mind will scatter with all the thoughts that arise. So when I walk I repeat the word "impermanence" with every step I keep.
If you take vipassana when walking I normally think of the 4 dathu (Patavi apo thejo vayo or hardness, fluidity, heat and air). And conside all that i see, hear, taste, smell, touch and think as they are all made out of these four elements.
