It's interesting that the environment you're in could have an effect on how long it takes to get to The Deep; I believe it.

Meditating while walking sounds interesting but it also seems like it could be quite hard to control heart rate. Of course, maybe that's not as big of an issue as I make it out to be. In any case I'll have to try it sometime. Do you have a link to any further source of information about it?

Why would you want to control heart rate?

If you are so out of shape that the walking causes you discomfort, then walk slower. Same if you feel your heart rate is too quick to allow you to stay calm.

Other than than that, there's no reason to worry about heart rate.

Only because it seemed to be closely tied to entering The Deep. But of course, it's possible that reduced heartrate is an effect rather than a cause of the meditative state, so I'll certainly try it out.
