I fell in love with meditation about fifteen years ago.

But it was definitely not love at first sight.

Before that, I had tried to meditate more times than I can count. I would sit down, try to quiet my mind, get frustrated that I was thinking too much, decide I was terrible at it, and eventually give up.

Then I met Anniston.

One day, she suggested that we meditate together using a guided Abraham-Hicks audio.

It felt different.

Hearing someone tell me what to do took the pressure off.

Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Relax.
Imagine.

The first few times still felt clunky, but there was no denying how different I felt afterward.

And it probably helped that these meditations were focused on creation.

Anniston and I were newly in love, dreaming about the life we wanted to build together. During those meditations, we imagined buying a home, getting two dogs, building a meaningful life, and creating work that felt aligned with our purpose.

Dreaming together came easily.

We were in love, and imagining our future felt like the most natural thing in the world.

That was the beginning.

Over time, meditation became a major part of my life.

I listened to countless guided meditations from teachers I respected. I experimented with different practices, different breathwork, different ways of quieting my mind.

Eventually, I stopped needing someone else’s voice.

I started sitting in silence.

Just me.

Connecting to my breath.
Connecting to my Still Point.
Connecting to something deeper within myself.

I began experimenting with visualization, emotion, intuition, and simply learning how to listen (and yes, receive).

Most of that happened in the early hours of the morning, alone in my home office, usually in the dark.

Then one day, I discovered something completely different.

Meditating while walking.

Eyes open.
Body moving.
Fully aware of the world around me.

And for me, it was a game-changer.

The inner work was the same, but suddenly I was practicing it while physically moving through the outer world.

I was not just imagining the future version of myself.

I was walking as him.

Feeling what he would feel.
Holding his posture.
Carrying his energy.
Being that version of myself now.

There is something incredibly powerful about bringing the emotion of a future experience into the present moment.

Not waiting until something happens to become the person you want to be.

Becoming them first.

I eventually began bringing walking meditation into my work.

At live events, I have taken groups ranging from 14 people to more than 500 people at a time outside and guided them through the experience.

Many of them had never meditated before.

Some were skeptical.

And yet, again and again, people came back profoundly moved by what they experienced.

Because you do not have to be “good” at meditation.

You simply have to be willing to become present.

And that brings me to my FREE GIFT for you today.

Download it and choose one morning this week to try it.

Put on your headphones.

Go somewhere you can walk safely. A park. A trail. The beach. Your neighborhood. Even your backyard.

Stand tall.

Keep your eyes open.

Hit play.

And follow along (first few minutes you'll stand still with your eyes closed).

Do not worry about doing it perfectly.

Instead, allow yourself to feel the version of you who already has what you are asking for.

Walk as them.

Breathe as them.

Feel as them.

Be them.

Now.

And when you are finished, send me a message.

I genuinely want to hear what you experienced.
