Summary
Walking meditation to add more joy to your day. In this guided meditation you'll focus on the joy around you. When we're children we naturally tap into our passion as we play and explore the world. As we get older we often let our passions slip away. As always, it's not necessary to do any of the meditation techniques -- they are simply to help you focus your mind and calm your body. This is part 7 of a 7-Part Meditation Series to Get Back Your Zest For Life, Episodes 463-469. As always, you don't have to do the meditation techniques -- they are simply there to help you transition from your busy day to a state of stillness. The techniques also help to calm "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation. For free meditation tools to help you start meditating please head over to my website at www.SipandOm.com, and there you'll find a multitude of free resources to help you on your Meditation Journey.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Daily Meditation podcast, and this is Mary Meckley. I honor you for |
| 0:08.3 | showing up for yourself today. And I want to let you know that in today's guided meditation, |
| 0:16.9 | you are going to be guided as you walk. |
| 0:28.2 | And as you walk, I want you to do something very special with your focus and your attention as we continue to explore today's or rather this week's meditation series on joy. |
| 0:47.9 | And this is episode 469. So, you know, I used to have a professionally recorded introduction and outro, something I left at the end of each meditation when I first started my podcast. |
| 0:57.1 | And I had so many people tell me they did not like that at all. |
| 1:01.2 | And so I've experimented and I just have heard you tell me so often. |
| 1:07.0 | You don't like those intros and outros. |
| 1:08.8 | You just want to hear me come on and start guiding you through the lesson and then the meditation. |
| 1:17.6 | So I always kind of feel like, oh, maybe I should add some music or something for you. |
| 1:22.7 | But I'm going to follow what you've recommended for me and just simply to not add those recorded professional |
| 1:31.3 | intros and to my own intro and outro. |
| 1:36.3 | So today, I want to congratulate you if you've been with me following me throughout this week's meditation series on joy because joy and a sense |
| 1:49.0 | of playfulness is actually incredibly beneficial for your health, especially your brain health. |
| 1:57.0 | And it's so vital that science and research has shown that when you have joy and you include |
| 2:12.5 | playfulness in your life that your relationships improve dramatically, especially any romantic |
| 2:21.6 | relationships you have. Things can get a little too serious and heavy. And if you include |
| 2:27.4 | playfulness, it's amazing how close you can become with someone to appreciate humor as well as love and compassion with someone. |
| 2:42.5 | And so I encourage you, if you are in a relationship, to be more playful. |
| 2:49.3 | And also, your brain health is actually greatly enhanced the more playful |
| 2:58.6 | you are. In fact, a researcher, Sergio Pellis from the University of Lethbridge and Alberta, Canada, |
| 3:06.7 | had this to say about play. |
