Snapping at small things, rushing around, irritated when the world will not move at your speed - most of us have weeks like that. This 12-minute walking meditation treats patience as a skill rather than a personality trait, and uses the even rhythm of your own steps to train it. What you are widening is the gap between something happening and how you choose to answer it.
Safety note: Keep your eyes open and stay aware of your surroundings. Your safety always comes first. Follow the audio only as far as it's safe to do so.
What you'll explore:
- Why patience is trainable, and why an unhurried walk is such a good place to train it.
- How a steady rhythm teaches the mind that it does not actually have to hurry.
- What to do when an impatient thought shows up mid-walk, which it reliably will.
How to get the most out of this walk:
- Hold your pace steady even when something in you says to speed up and get it over with.
- Let the out-breath run a little longer than the in-breath as the walk settles.
