Active Walking Meditation - 7 min Walk to Help Simmer Down

Send us a text

This seven minute - active walking meditation - will help you blow off some steam and gain a fresh perspective.  Give yourself just ten minutes to walk away from a stressful situation and use this meditation as a tool to help you calm your nerves and take a breath.

We have a house full of people revolving through our door, and it gets crowded and stressful at times.  When I start to become overwhelmed, I put on my shoes and go on a walk or bike ride.  It always makes me feel better and I come back with a better attitude.  I've used this walk with many clients and family members.  Sometimes, it was the only thing we had - was to walk... and it always helped.  I hope it helps you.  God Bless.

The 5 Second Rule is based off of Mel Robbin's technique in helping ourselves gut off the couch and do!

This walk isn't just about physical motion; it's about acknowledging who you are, your unique purpose, and inviting peace and focus into your life. So, tie those laces, hit the play button, and let's move mountains together.
