Walking Meditation

Walking Meditation
Turn an everyday action into a tool for mindfulness and stress reduction. Evidence suggests that mindfulness increases the more you practice it, and that it can not only reduce stress but also increase our experience of positive emotions.

​Try walking meditation 10 minutes daily for at least a week.
