Listen to the show while out on a walk or hike!
We have eight mantras from the show:

Mantra #2: Walking allows you to rewrite your story.
Mantra #3: Walking is an alternative to seated meditation.
Mantra #4: Walking allows the subconscious to surface.
Mantra #5: Walking moves us into Alpha/Theta brain waves
states.
Mantra #6: Walking allows us to breathe deeper so that we can go into the parasympathetic mode of our autonomic nervous system.
Mantra #7: Walking unlocks memories.
Mantra #8: Walking allows us to set intentions and then integrate those intentions.
