Almost every walk you take is on the way to something. This 11-minute guided meditation asks for the opposite, a walk with no destination, no step count to hit and nothing to accomplish. What is left is the rare experience of moving through your day without being on your way anywhere.
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:
- How dropping the destination changes what you notice on a street you have walked a hundred times.
- The quiet discomfort of aimlessness, and how it loosens after the first few minutes.
- What your attention does when it is not being pointed at a task.
How to get the most out of this walk:
- Choose your turns as you reach them instead of deciding on a route first.
- Resist checking your time or distance; this is the one walk where neither counts.
Step Into Calm is a daily walking meditation podcast where each episode is a short guided meditation to help you build mindfulness, ease stress, and find calm, clarity, and focus in just 10 to 15 minutes a day.
