Summary
Be guided in a walking meditation customized around the popular practice of Shinrin Yoku, or Japanese Forest Bathing. The Japanese have conducted research on the many health benefits of spending time in green spaces to help boost immunity and restore health. This is part 7 of a 7-Part Benefits of Meditation Series, Episodes 723-729.
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.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:05.0 | Congratulations to you for giving yourself permission to slow down and connect to the best part of who you are. |
| 0:16.8 | I'm Mary Meckley and I'm a meditation teacher who shares a different meditation technique every single day on the podcast. |
| 0:26.3 | And each technique is customized around a weekly theme so you can explore the different themes in depth using a variety of different meditation techniques, one for each |
| 0:40.4 | day. And in today's meditation, which is episode 729, you'll be guided in a walking meditation. |
| 0:53.2 | Every Saturday, this is for a Saturday's meditation, |
| 0:57.1 | although you don't have to follow the meditations in any kind of sequence. |
| 1:02.8 | Every Saturday, I like to reward you with a walking meditation |
| 1:07.8 | to encourage you to get outside and connect with your environment, |
| 1:14.2 | taking your meditation on the go with you. |

| 1:26.8 | and quiet and stillness is when you're seated meditating |
| 1:31.4 | in your nice meditation space. But I encourage you to make meditation a natural part of your day. |
| 1:39.9 | And that means taking it into your everyday life. |
| 1:46.1 | And I think that the best way to do that is by using meditation techniques throughout your day. |
| 1:53.1 | Because these are going to attune you to what you're working on when you're seated, |
| 1:59.3 | meditating in your space where you can go a little deeper into |
| 2:07.2 | inner stillness. So as you do a walking meditation today for our benefits of meditation theme, |
| 2:17.1 | this is the final episode in this week's theme. |
| 2:22.6 | So every single day this week, we've explored a different meditation technique that is customized around the many benefits of meditation. |
| 2:34.7 | Many of those have been recently researched scientifically |
| 2:40.0 | and you have been able to reap the benefits this week of meditation. |
