A Practice for Fidgeters, Restless Minds, and Anyone Who Hates Sitting Still | Meditation with Sebene Selassie
About this episode
<p dir="ltr">Let go of your thoughts, stop getting caught in your stories, and try the ancient practice of walking meditation.<br /> <br /> Walking meditation is one of the most practical and underrated tools in mindfulness — and in this episode, Dan shares a guided practice from his new audiobook, Even You Can Meditate (co-authored with <a href="http://www.sebeneselassie.com/">Sebene Selassie</a>), out now on Audible.</p> <p dir="ltr">The practice is led by Sebene herself. The premise is simple: walk slowly and deliberately, pay attention to the sensations of each step, and when your mind wanders — just start again. It bridges the gap between formal sitting practice and everyday life, and it's a genuine game-changer for fidgeters, restless types, and anyone who finds stillness unbearable.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this guided practice, Sebene leads you through:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Grounding yourself before you take your first step</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Tuning into the physical sensations of lifting, moving, and placing each foot</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Expanding awareness to include your whole body and your surroundings</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Letting thoughts come and go — without getting caught in them</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Closing with a moment of gratitude for your body and this moment of awareness</p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">The Even You Can Meditate (audiobook) by Dan Harris and Sebene Selassie is available now at <a href= "http://audible.com/danharris">audible.com/danharris</a>.
