I don't know if this qualifies, but I get into a meditative state during my daily brisk walks (usually 3 20-minute walks a day as I go about my business). I become very conscious of the movements of my body, the flexing and relaxing of my muscles, the swell of my lungs filling with air, the rhythm of my stride. It gets easier to move into that relaxed state of awareness the more I walk, and I come out of it feeling refreshed and invigorated.
One note: I've found that comfortable walking shoes really help. If my feet are cramped or sore or my shins start to ache, it's really hard to get into the flow of the walk.
