Some arguments follow you out the door and keep talking. This 11-minute guided meditation gives the leftover heat somewhere to go, then walks you gently around to the other person's side of it. You come back with the edge off and a clearer sense of what actually needs saying.

Safety note: Keep your eyes open and stay aware of your surroundings. Your safety always comes first. Follow the audio only as far as it's safe to do so.

What you'll explore:

How steady, lengthened breathing takes the physical charge out of an argument you are still holding.

A way of hearing the same exchange from where the other person was standing.

The difference between rehearsing a comeback and working out what you genuinely want to say.

How to get the most out of this walk:

Walk somewhere quiet enough that you are not performing calm for passing strangers.

Let your hands hang loose rather than clenched, and check your jaw a few times along the way.
