A Practice for Fidgeters, Restless Minds, and Anyone Who Hates Sitting Still | Meditation with Sebene Selassie

A Practice for Fidgeters, Restless Minds, and Anyone Who Hates Sitting Still | Meditation with Sebene Selassie

Let go of your thoughts, stop getting caught in your stories, and try the ancient practice of walking meditation.

Walking meditation is one of the most practical and underrated tools in mindfulness — and in this episode, Dan shares a guided practice from his new audiobook, Even You Can Meditate (co-authored with Sebene Selassie), out now on Audible.

The practice is led by Sebene herself. The premise is simple: walk slowly and deliberately, pay attention to the sensations of each step, and when your mind wanders — just start again. It bridges the gap between formal sitting practice and everyday life, and it's a genuine game-changer for fidgeters, restless types, and anyone who finds stillness unbearable.

In this guided practice, Sebene leads you through:

  • Grounding yourself before you take your first step

  • Tuning into the physical sensations of lifting, moving, and placing each foot

  • Expanding awareness to include your whole body and your surroundings

  • Letting thoughts come and go — without getting caught in them

  • Closing with a moment of gratitude for your body and this moment of awareness

The Even You Can Meditate (audiobook) by Dan Harris and Sebene Selassie is available now at audible.com/danharris.
