Bonus: Dog Walk Meditation | Leaving Negativity

Author: As It Should Be Productions November 10, 2022 Duration: 12:14
This bonus episode features a sample meditation episode, Leaving Negativity, from a new spinoff series – Dog Walk Meditation – brought to you by the team at Dog Save The People. This walking meditation is designed to help us release the negativity in our lives, to open up to a wider spectrum of compassion and forgiveness. While humans may have a hard time letting go of grudges or negative thoughts, we can take a lesson from our dogs to more assuredly move forward. Dogs don’t linger on the past, they live in the moment and keep going. If we’re able to free our minds of unnecessary burden and instead let go, we can live a better daily life as a result.This seasonal series will feature short meditations specially designed for personal time spent with dogs, such as on a walk together, which may strengthen your mutual connection and improve mental well-being. The goal of the show is to release the mind from distractions, reduce stress, and focus on the present moment. Your guide for the new show is John Bartlett, a certified meditation teacher and host of the Dog Save The People podcast. Both shows are original series produced by As It Should Be.FEATURED LINKSDog Walk Meditation website - https://www.dogwalkmeditation.com Dog Walk Meditation podcast on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dog-walk-meditation/id1649189686 Dog Walk Meditation podcast on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2I7VMN1mD7LED10CRrUkw3

We often talk about saving dogs, but what happens when the roles are reversed? Dog Save The People explores that quiet, profound exchange. Hosted by Dr. Sharon Holland, an author and professor whose work examines the moral lines we draw between species, this podcast listens deeply to the stories that emerge from life with a dog. Each conversation reveals how the daily acts of feeding, walking, and caring for a canine companion can unexpectedly reshape our own routines, priorities, and emotional well-being. You’ll hear from a variety of people-families, kids, athletes, and those navigating mental health challenges-about the tangible ways a dog’s presence alters the rhythm of a home, encourages physical activity, and forges a unique kind of companionship. Produced by As It Should Be Productions, the series doesn’t offer training tips but instead considers the philosophical underpinnings of these relationships. It’s about the mutual rescue, the subtle fitness of heart and body that comes from having a responsibility to another creature. Tune in for a thoughtful, grounded discussion that goes beyond the simple joy of pet ownership to consider how these bonds fundamentally alter who we are, making the case that sometimes, the leash pulls both ways. This is a podcast for anyone who suspects their dog has done more for them than they could ever repay.
