#meditation54321
Every day I go for a walk. I walk to feel the fresh air on my skin, to smell nature and to notice beautiful things around me. I also walk to pause. To pause, stop, refresh and renew.
On my walk I’ve been noticing new things, and I’ve been sharing these on social media as a way to share my pause and pass it on to others. To inspire a pause for someone else. To share a mindful moment. To inspire reframing. And to ignite possibly as opportunity in the everyday. This is an act of daily self-care. An act of being in the moment and noticing what is around me during a time that is extra dynamic, full of change and unknowns, and revealing who we want to be, how we want to be and what is important to us.
My photos are paired with a guided meditation. Inspired by a traditional mindfulness practice based on:
5 things you see
4 things you hear
3 things you feel
2 things you smell
1 thing you taste
I share this gallery of 46 mindful moments inspired by my mindful walks with you to inspire you, to pause, return to this moment and to be. Enjoy the series of meditations 54321 as you use them in a variety of ways, such as:
