There is a stretch of the evening where the day is over but your body has not been told yet. This 10-minute guided walking meditation takes an unhurried stroll through that gap, letting each breath out carry a little more of the day off your shoulders. By the end the winding down has already started, well before you are anywhere near the bedroom.

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 notice the leftover hum of the day without having to push it away.

The long sigh out, and the way the shoulders and the hands answer it.

Letting the replay come, and deciding you do not have to hold any of it tonight.

How to get the most out of this walk:

Go slower than usual, and let this be the slowest walk you take all day.

Keep it dark and quiet if you can, and leave any screens until afterward.
