Walking is not about exercise, not about keeping body warm in cold winter days.
It is not even about health, it is about the mind-body connection. When the mind-body connection is enhanced, the body heals itself because the body knows you need to be healthy, the body put more priority to the health by healing the body. While at the same time building a strong relationship with the body by the mind, so that when you get sick, for whatever reason, you ask the body to heal, the body will put highest priority to heal the area affected immediately.
The question is why does the body not automatically heals it instantly?
The answer is, the body is busy keeping you alive! That’s the top priority, the other, the healing will happen when time permits. We need to be patient to allow our body to heal but when we have a great mind-body connection, when you, the mind asks, the body does immediately.
Go do the walking for improving, enhancing the mind-body connection!
Mind body connection
Stephen thanks for sharing. You always mention WALKING instead of other form of body movement like swimming/jogging/running/play badminton etc, to build the mind -body connection ? Is it because of the slower speed of the movement that give the mind- body a conducive environment to communicate ?
Thanks
Conducive environment is WHEN YOU CAN BE ALONE, hence walking alone is great mind-body connection or swimming is great mind-body connection because you are ALONE. If you are running alone, yes, if you are running with others, not so, if you are playing badminton, often with others, no so. Any movement that gives you ALONE TIME as that gives your mind and body to be alone together to solve problems needed to be solved. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your clarification. OK it is the ALONE TIME that is important. And communicate daily too to maintain the rapport between mind and body .
yes, enjoy be friending your body.
Thank you
