Hello beautiful friends! We are a podcast made up with various guests, such as: therapists, life and health coaches, parents, authors, teens, teachers, trainers, etc - who tell their personal stories of how their "ashes turned to beauty". You’ll unravel -wild- untold tales from normal people, just like you and me. Each episode shares the hardships and then gives hope by sharing the miracles that came from it. We are REAL - open and honest about what we’ve been through and want to spread hope in the miracles we've experienced, and that are all around us.

Active Walking Meditation - 7 min Walk to Help Simmer Down
This seven minute - active walking meditation - will help you blow off some steam and gain a fresh perspective. Give yourself just ten minutes to walk away from a stressful situation and use this meditation as a tool to help you calm your nerves and take a breath.
We have a house full of people revolving through our door, and it gets crowded and stressful at times. When I start to become overwhelmed, I put on my shoes and go on a walk or bike ride. It always makes me feel better and I come back with a better attitude. I've used this walk with many clients and family members. Sometimes, it was the only thing we had - was to walk... and it always helped. I hope it helps you. God Bless.
The 5 Second Rule is based off of Mel Robbin's technique in helping ourselves gut off the couch and do!
This walk isn't just about physical motion; it's about acknowledging who you are, your unique purpose, and inviting peace and focus into your life. So, tie those laces, hit the play button, and let's move mountains together.

Alright, let's go, grab your shoes, grab your keys, grab your phone, whatever you need, just go, don't hesitate. I love Mel Robbins. She is amazing and she has something called the 5 Second Rule. And no, it doesn't have anything to do with a piece of food and eating it or giving it to a baby or putting it back into your dinner, because I've never done that. So take a big, deep breath and, through your nose, out through your mouth, let's count it down Five, four, three, two, one, get up, let's go. Alright, out the door.
Speaker 2:We're going to walk, we're going to use our arms, we're going to get out some of this energy that you need to get out right now. Maybe it's from something that happened that was traumatic, or just need a breath of fresh air. One way to deal with this is to walk and to get centered. We're going to do that by focusing on what you're doing right now, and you are swinging your arms and your feet are stepping out in front of you and hopefully it's opposite arm, opposite leg. You'd be surprised. Swing those arms, see how fast they're going. You're not forcing it, it's just easy. So let it be easy. Swinging your arms, you get a nice rhythm and stay without walk, slowly swinging your arms and stepping out with those feet. How do the bottom of your feet feel? Are they hot? Are they cold? Just feeling relaxed, nice, easy walk.
Speaker 2:Take your attention to your breath. Push your breath as easy. Swing with your walk in the sway of your arms. Now take a big, deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Keep that lock. Go back to how you're feeling and the sensations around you. What do you see? What do you notice? What's the first color that you see? What is the temperature outside? How does it feel on your skin? What's in season right now that you can smell, that you notice, that you love? Keep with your walk, arms swaying, easy breath, soft steps. Your senses are alive. You've opened them up to the world around you, noticing the goodness that's around you right now the smells, the sounds, the feel, the emotion, the calmness. Everything's gonna be okay.
Speaker 3:Stay with the lock.
Speaker 2:Stay with your attention noticing. If your attention sways but you catch it, just come right back.
Speaker 3:Stay with the walk.
Speaker 2:Absorb the light around you, even if it's dark. Notice a golden, beautiful light surrounding you right now, covering you in peace, knowing you're protected, guided, loved. You're seen for who you are and the purpose that you have here on this earth right now.
Speaker 3:Stay with the walk.
Speaker 2:Receiving all of the gifts that are available to you.
Speaker 3:Stay with the walk.
Speaker 2:You can say to this mountain move and it will move. Bring down your walk, giving yourself a few more minutes to let go, and let anything hold you back from experiencing your joy. Thank you for taking a walk with me. Anytime you need this, just replay. Focus in on who you really are, why you're here, and keep at it every day to be the best that you can be.
Speaker 1:You can say to this mountain, move, and it will move.
