This 12-minute guided walking meditation asks you to hold that reduced speed on purpose, then spend the extra time taking in what is actually around you. By the end, a street you walk every day will have handed you three or four things you had never once registered. 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: What your body does in the first minute of moving well below its usual gear. How a shorter stride widens the amount of detail you can actually take in. The way familiar streets stop being scenery once you are no longer passing them quickly. How to get the most out of this walk: Choose a short route you know well, since the point is finding new things on old ground. Walk somewhere you will not be crowded from behind, so the pace stays yours. 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.
