"A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good
for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and
psychology in the world." - Paul Dudley White


Did that on Monday still recovering. Does it matter where the walk is done? City vs country? This was in a smoggy insane city where I did mine. Actually though it was good even excellent to reconnect with the physical so I heartily agree.

It was interesting along the journey to the destination, how things would pop up in the head and be weighed in the context of the activity and many would be tossed overboard as irrelevant to the activity needing doing and even to life and survival itself and the point of no return that came and went etc etc It was almost as healing thus or just as healing as a sweat lodge.

I find walking good on all sorts of levels, just the feeling of actual motion, movement, going somewhere, I find to be psychologically helpful and motivating.

It also has a meditational quality, one step in front of the other, again and again.

Then there is the effect on your physiology, you breathe faster, you are in motion and it moves all that has become sluggish within, giving a new chemical response.

Walking in towns and cities is stimulating because of the array of things you are exposed to as you pass, new sights, sounds, smells, all can be invigorating.

..and then of course walking in nature allows us to retune to that big broadcasting station and soak up those vibes, it always seems to put things into perspective.

Ah walking, we were designed for it!

Nice post - I think I will go for a walk today! :-)

Have a good day ed. x

thanks sus
excellent points and have a refreshing and rejuvinating walk
and perhaps some ointment following
I guess the healing is partly in the aching muscles and joints
