Show Notes
This episode focuses on the meditative practice of connecting our breathing with our walking. The Afghan Walk is a style of breath walking coined by Edourd Steigler, who observed the breathing patterns of Afghan nomads as they walked long distances. For the Afghan Walk, we breathe in for 3 steps, pause for 1 step, breath out for 3 steps, pause of one step

This episode is a rerecording of episode number 47. It recently came to my attention that the audio quality in some of the previous episodes is not great. I record and edit all the episodes of this podcast myself, while trying to juggle a busy professional and family life. I didn't do as good a job of this as I could have at times. The audio quality here should be a bit better, and I do apologize to anyone who has listened to an episode with poor quality in the past.
