Welcome to the daily meditation podcast. This is Mary Meckley and you are listening to episode

456. And in today's guided meditation, you are going to be doing a walking meditation. Now, if you can't make it outside to walk, no

worries. You can open a window in your meditation space and let the outdoors in, let the

air in, let the cold or the heat in, whatever is happening outside, let that in. Feel it so that there's not

always a barrier between you and your natural environment. And if you are outside walking,

that is perfect. Now, this is the final episode in a seven-part meditation series on productivity, on how to get your big goals done.

And throughout this entire meditation series, you've explored a different meditation technique each day to help you as you

explore keeping yourself away from distractions and keeping yourself focused on what means most

to you. So you can head back over the previous episodes

for additional meditation techniques that you can do

as you focus on being more productive.

Well, as you get ready to do this guided walking meditation,

go ahead and stop, stand still, right where you are.

Get ready to just tap into yourself as you transition. There may be a lot happening around you in your environment, wherever you are, as you do this walking meditation.

And so just kind of let yourself settle into a meditation mode can close your eyes and start to relax the different areas of your body just like

you do when you sit down to meditate.

Kind of wiggle your feet around there in your tennis shoes or flip-flops whatever you're wearing.

And you can flex your calves a little bit and relax them kind of loosen your knee joints

people have a lot of tension in their knees these days relax your thighs and your hips.

Your legs that will be carrying you on this walk.

Relax your stomach and let it hang out loosely as you walk.

You might be wearing spandex if you are maybe doing some kind of fitness after you do this walking meditation.
