If your mind is racing ahead, scanning, solving, anticipating,
this walk will focus your attention, bring you into the
present, and connect you with the earth beneath you.
Begin by focusing your attention on your feet, meeting the
ground. Following each step as you
settle into your rhythm, now really notice the sensations
in the balls of your feet as you connect with the ground, as you
connect with the earth. Notice how the muscles in your
feet move and adjust to the terrain.
Really feel into these sensations.
Notice how the muscles in your legs flex to take your weight
and support you as you move. Just notice these sensations.
Now really feel the ground beneath you, feel the support
beneath each step, the earth absorbing every step you take.
Now I want you to imagine you can let go of anything you are
carrying in your mind or body. Any tension, irritation,
anxiety, heavy emotion, Find it. And allow yourself to feel it.
Then let it go. Let it drop away into the earth
beneath you. Down your legs and down through
the soles of your feet into the earth.
And again, let go of anything you are carrying in your mind or
body. Find it, feel it, and let it go.
Using your out breath to release.
Each foot connecting with the earth as you let go,
staying with the rhythm of your feet meeting the ground.
Each step a little more relaxed in your body,
breathing out. Let that release travel down and
out through the soles of your feet, down into the earth
beneath you. Feet meeting the ground,
legs taking the weight you're out, Breath releasing
tension. Letting go into the earth as you
rest your attention with the rhythm of your steps.
This step, this breath, this moment.
And you can continue your walk more grounded, more supported,
more present in this now moment.
