A Walk Around the Block
Take a walk through your neighborhood to engage your health, your heart, and our communities. For
our physical bodies, walking stimulates the lymphatic system, supports our lung capacity, encourages the proper operation of our muscles and joints, along with many other benefits. For our minds, our movement and breathing outdoor air has the power to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Emotionally and spiritually a relaxing stroll creates spaciousness for self reflection, development, and reconnection to gratitude.
Honor your senses through this walk. And let us know in the comments below:
How were you able to cultivate presence for yourself through this experience?
What did your senses gravitate towards today? What did you see? What did you smell? What did you listen to?
What did you notice in your body? How was your balance? How was your breathing? How was your heart?
Did any one part of your body speak more loudly?
How can you give attention, support, or praise to this part of your body?
