Nov 16, 2017 at 2:06 comment added C Smith @DeanA Walking meditation, in my experience, does increase mental energy. I don’t have the resources to back it up with the Pail Canon or talks by learned ones, just from what I’ve encountered. I do respect and agree with your comments too.
Nov 15, 2017 at 17:33 comment added user5056 thanks. i saw that too. question seems to be about physical energy but , Virya is mentioned there. to me Virya, viriya means towards more of mental strength (or even motivation) than physical strength as in sutta AN8.80 you mentioned in your answer. Hopefully our answers are enough to cover the question. Also came to mind was five benefit from walking mediation, but after refreshing my memories, they seem to be around increasing stamina than physical strength. anyway, i think we give decent answers.
