WALKING NIRVANA

I have discussed on virtue of walking, how it relieve your stress. Make your mind free from all those earthly anxieties that hound us day in and day out. Walking give us time to go much deeper mental stage where we can ponder about the very purpose of our existence.

The walking is to be done in a quiet known safe place and to be done alone. Go on a slow stroll first, try not to not think about the present and immediate surroundings, try to make your mind empty. You will observe your mind now disconnected from your body. Don’t worry, your subconscious mind is still with you and it will take care of immediate exigencies. Let your mind be free.

The movement of the body brings movement to our mind too. There will be a synergy between your mind and body, which you may have never experienced before. The synergy will not be there in case of strenuous exercises. As it was an advice to mediate staying still.

To dwell on the fundamentals of life we need to do positive thinking and reinforce affirmations of the purpose of our existence. We are happy to be here in this beautiful world and serve as we were deputed to serve. We can feel the wholeness within us.

The regularity of breathing which becomes deeper after sometime of walking is a good exercise. There will be a perfect rhythm of breathing, movement and our thinking. Yoga recommends this kind of exercise.

After walking in this fashion for some time, you will be surprised;
you can use the time to connect with God,
undisturbed by other intrusions.
You can use the time of walking for prayer and to receive spiritual inspiration.

Walking brings new experiences, new meaning of life and probably new lease of life, the ultimate NIRVANA. It depends on how you use it. Walking is also much beyond simple exercise; it is for total wellbeing of our body and mind.

Walk to discover yourself!!
