A note from Sean
Walking slowly is one of the gentlest ways I know to sense into being here. Go in baby steps and start with what is most obvious, like the ground under your feet.
Try this today. Next time you walk from one place to another, from your desk to the kitchen or from your car to a door, stop where you start and take three full breaths. Then take one step at a fraction of your usual speed. Feel the foot and ankle lift and come back down, and the ground beneath you. At a turn or a doorway, pivot with the same attention.

This suits anyone who feels anxious moving between places. If you feel unsteady, walk beside a wall. If anxiety rises, go gently. Look around the room, feel your feet, and stop when you need to.
Mindful Walking – Use this portable method of getting present when you are in transition & feeling anxious as you walk from place to place.
What is mindful walking? Mindful walking is a way to practice moving without a goal or intention. It entails moving from one place to another while being aware of each step and each breath. It can offer our body and mind some peace and help ease worry.
