A Walking Meditation To Share The Moment With Your Dog

This walking meditation is designed to focus on breathing, ease your mind, relax your body, and bring attention to your dog. The reward will be a calming feeling that deepens your connection together. Learn how to take your thoughts away from the distractions of everyday life and instead ground yourself in the moment with your dog, taking in an appreciation for your dog by your side and the connection you can share. Plus, it can be a way for us to better get in touch with the nature around us, wherever we are. Guided by Annette McGivney.

This meditation may be practiced while walking your dog, sitting in the dog park, visualizing at home, or any place or activity that provides you the space to be aware and think mindfully.

Season 2 of the Dog Walk Meditation podcast is guided by award-winning journalist, book author, and meditator Annette McGivney. She has written several books and is best known for her book Pure Land, which won the National Outdoor Book Award in 2018. She has also been the Southwest Editor for Backpacker Magazine. Her daily walks off-leash with her dog are what she considers her primary contemplative practice, and truly healing for her everyday life.
