Walking meditation sounds simple until you try it and wonder whether you are doing it right. This 12-minute guided meditation covers the two things that actually matter, how you carry yourself and how you time your breath to your steps. By the end you have a technique you can bring to every walk after this one.
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 your head, shoulders and arms should sit so the walk stays easy for the whole distance.
- The counting pattern that syncs your breath to your stride without forcing either one.
- What to do when your attention wanders off, which it will.
How to get the most out of this walk:
- Pick flat, familiar ground so you can put your attention on form rather than footing.
- Come back to this one whenever your walks start feeling rushed or effortful.
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.
