What if New Year’s resolutions are quietly working against your meditation practice? In this episode of Slow Paths, I head out into the Herefordshire countryside, walking through snow and ice, letting the landscape set the pace. As I move through winter fields and frozen paths, I reflect on why resolutions, goals and self-imposed targets can pull us away from what meditation is really about. Less striving. Less fixing. More noticing. More presence. This is a gentle, reflective walk-and-talk episode, grounded in nature and seasonality, and it closes with a 15-minute ambient meditation track to help you settle, soften and simply be. No goals. No improvement plan. Just space to breathe.
