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.
