Bonus: Dog Walk Meditation | Sharing This Moment

Author: As It Should Be Productions September 8, 2023 Duration: 8:26

This bonus episode features a sample meditation episode, Sharing This Moment, from the new season of our Dog Walk Meditation series. This specific walking meditation has been designed to focus on breathing, ease your mind, relax your body, and bring attention to your dog. The reward will be a calming feeling that strengthens your connection together. Learn how to take your thoughts away from the distractions of everyday life and instead ground yourself in the present moment with your dog. Plus, it can be a way for us to better get in touch with the nature around us, wherever we are. Guided by former Dog Save The People guest, Annette McGivney.

Dog Walk Meditation features short guided meditations specially designed for personal time spent with dogs, such as on daily walks 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.

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.
