Pure Love (Visualization Meditation)

This visualization meditation is designed to bring you closer to the natural world that surrounds you, wherever you are. This practice will also help you to connect and reflect on your relationship with your dog in a deeply spiritual way. Afterward, you may feel the pure love from your mutual bond and immense gratitude for having a dog in your life.For detailed show notes, visit dogwalkmeditation.com/episodes/s2-pure-loveSeason 2 of the Dog Walk Meditation podcast is guided by Annette McGivney, who has been practicing meditation since she was young, finding calm while exploring the woods with her dog during a difficult childhood. Annette has studied Zen Buddhism for the last fifteen years, but her favorite contemplative practice is daily hikes outside in nature with her dog running off-leash, as she has done all her life. Annette is also an award-winning journalist and book author. She is the  Southwest Editor for Backpacker Magazine and contributes articles to Outside Magazine, New York Times Magazine, The Guardian, and more. Her reporting covers investigations of environmental issues, the rights of indigenous peoples, and the outdoor/hiker lifestyle. She has written several books connected to life outdoors, and her most recent book, Pure Land, won the National Outdoor Book Award. This show is a spinoff series of the Dog Save The People podcast, which features uplifting interview stories about how life is better with a dog. Both shows are original podcast series created by As It Should Be Productions.FEATURED LINKSDog Walk Meditation websiteGuidance on Off-Leash Dog WalksAnnette McGivney websiteAnnette McGivney on InstagramDog Save The People websiteDog Save The People on InstagramDog Save The People on FacebookDog Save The People on TwitterDog Save The People interview with Annette McGivney
