There is something on the calendar today that you want to get right. This 12-minute guided walking meditation gets you ready for it using three things you already have on you: your posture, a long slow breath out, and a few minutes of rehearsal. How you show up to a big moment is mostly decided before you ever get in the room.
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:
- What a lengthened spine and an open chest tell your brain about how you are feeling.
- Breathing in for four steps and out for six, and why the long exhale steadies the nerves.
- Rehearsing it going well, plus a short anchor phrase you can carry in with you.
How to get the most out of this walk:
- Take this walk within an hour of the thing itself, so the state you build is still with you.
- Pick your anchor phrase early and repeat it in time with your feet.
