Xiaolin Wang is guiding the listener through a walking meditation. She instructs the listener to ground themselves and reach their arms up to the sky before releasing them back down. She then encourages the listener to be aware of their environment, to appreciate the fact that they can walk and to be grateful for their body. Xiaolin then instructs the listener to feel confident and proud while walking; to be aware of their posture and to be conscious of their breathing. She then encourages the listener to be open-minded and to hear the sounds around them without judgment. Finally, Xiaolin encourages the listener to notice any changes they have experienced and to bring this awareness into their everyday life. This will allow them to make better choices and appreciate every moment.
In this conversation, Mike James, Xiaolin Wang, and Dr. Richard Kennedy discuss the benefits of walking meditation as an alternative to traditional meditation practices. The three discuss how walking meditation allows people to focus on being mindful of the present moment and their surroundings. They also touch on the idea that walking meditation can help reduce anxiety, something that has become increasingly common during the pandemic. Mike James expresses his appreciation for the practice and how he has been able to incorporate it into his own walking program. Dr. Kennedy supports this idea, noting that it can be beneficial in allowing people to stay grounded and connected with their inner selves. Finally, Xiaolin Wang emphasizes the importance of being aware of the present moment and connecting with one's sensations in order to reduce anxiety and stay grounded.

Highlights
RICHARD KENNEDY good way to start you down. I think brings up a good point there because I know. MIKE JAMES I definitely got something out of your presentation. MIKE JAMES Thank yous for joining us as Wellness Musketeers in front of the episode to the line of local health leaders
It is most often because of thinking about the future, but meditation brings up the personal moment, be here and be now to connect with you. Meditate like today we hear stops.
RICHARD KENNEDY but with everything around and with the busy schedules of life that we have in the chaos of the life that we are living these days, taking the time on a regular basis I would think is a good thing because it.
MIKE JAMES with nature to live. Just get that feeling of being alive, and thankful. I think that's what I've got out of her hesitation. Something like incorporated into my own walking program.
