There is a stretch of the evening where the day is over but your body has not been told yet. This 10-minute guided walking meditation takes an unhurried stroll through that gap, letting each breath out carry a little more of the day off your shoulders. By the end the winding down has already started, well before you are anywhere near the bedroom.

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 to notice the leftover hum of the day without having to push it away.
  • The long sigh out, and the way the shoulders and the hands answer it.
  • Letting the replay come, and deciding you do not have to hold any of it tonight.

How to get the most out of this walk:

  • Go slower than usual, and let this be the slowest walk you take all day.
  • Keep it dark and quiet if you can, and leave any screens until afterward.

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.
