Walking Meditation for Anxiety ~ Body Focus, is a simple body-scan guided walking meditation that helps ease anxiety and reduce overthinking by bringing your awareness into the body.

As you walk, you are guided progressively through different areas of your body, helping you to notice and release any tension. By shifting awareness away from busy thinking and into physical relaxation, this walking meditation supports nervous system settling, especially when anxious or stressed, and encourages a greater sense of steadiness and calm.
