This 10-minute walking meditation turns your usual route into something worth reading, from the age of the trees to the shape of the buildings to the names on the signs. Presence gets easier when the ordinary turns out to be interesting. 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 noticing the age and history of a place pulls your attention into the present. Questions worth asking about the buildings, trees and streets you pass every day. The way curiosity quiets the mental chatter a walk usually fills up with. How to get the most out of this walk: Take a route you know well, since the point is seeing the familiar differently. Leave your phone in your pocket and let the questions stay unanswered. 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.
