The Bible tells us that Enoch walked with God for 300 years (Genesis 5:22).
What is your understanding of 'walking with God' i.e. "Do you walk with God and if 'yes' - please explain?"

Yes. To walk with God is to live in relationship with Him. The Bible is pretty silent about Enoch's 'walk'. But I imagine it to resemble that of Brother Lawrence who practiced the presence of God. When He is our constant and continual and conscious companion, we will live rightly. And the blessing to Enoch was to be no more. That is what being 'lost in Him' looks like.

Well I would think as Paul did that to walk with God (after the Spirit) would be the opposite of waking after the flesh;
(Gal 5:16) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
(Gal 5:17) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
(Gal 5:18) But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
(Gal 5:19) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
(Gal 5:20) Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
(Gal 5:21) Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
(Gal 5:22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
(Gal 5:23) Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
(Gal 5:24) And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
(Gal 5:25) If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
It is our choice whom we serve; God or self.

and a nice dove tail to the Galatians passage is this one:
Matthew 16:
24Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
25"For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
26"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

We can do little things for God: I turn the cake that is frying on the pan, for love of him; and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before him who has given me grace to work; afterwards I rise happier than a king.
BROTHER LAWRENCE OF THE RESURRECTION (C. 1605–1691)
