About this tool

Mindful walking is a way into mindfulness for people who find sitting still hard. You walk a little slower than usual and gently notice your feet, the air, sounds and colours. Many people find it settling. A hallway, balcony or garden is plenty. If you prefer, you can do the seated version and just feel your feet.
