If the word meditation has ever made you roll your eyes, this one is for you. This 10-minute walking meditation asks for no cushion, no silence, and no empty mind, just your breath and your steps falling into a rhythm together, counted out until it settles on its own. You finish having meditated, whether it felt like it or not.

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:

A simple count, three steps in and three steps out, and how to find the number that fits you.

Why the two things you are already doing are enough to build a practice on.

What to do when your attention wanders off, which it will.

How to get the most out of this walk:

Pick a route you know well so you can give the rhythm most of your attention.

Try it again on an ordinary walk, to the car or up the stairs, and see if the rhythm comes back.
