Every road you use was worn in by somebody else. This 10-minute guided meditation walks your ordinary block slowly enough to notice the older brickwork, the odd gate, the tree that predates the houses around it. Your route stops being scenery and turns into a place where things have happened.
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 read the age of a street from what is still standing on it.
- A way of picturing the people who used the same ground before the buildings changed hands.
- Why a route with a past behind it holds your attention better than one without.
How to get the most out of this walk:
- Walk an older part of your neighbourhood if there is one within reach.
- Look up above the shopfronts now and then, since the upper storeys usually give away more than the ground floor.
