Walking is a fabulous exercise for many reasons.
Regular walking reduces the occurrence of many common diseases and contributes to a general sense
of well-being. These benefits are probably no surprise to you, but did you know that walking is also
good for your brain?
Many areas of the brain work together to facilitate this commonplace, yet remarkable, activity. Just the act of walking in itself is like a great wake-up call for the brain. In fact, many famous artists, philosophers, writers, and musicians, including Charles Dickens, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Thomas Jefferson included walking as part of their method of finding inspiration. It seems that the complex mechanism of
walking touches on many parts of the brain and allows ideas to flow in new and exciting ways.
So use walking as a way to awaken your brain and find inspiration for your life as well. As you walk, make a
point of engaging all of your senses fully. Most of us tend to rely primarily on the sense of sight, so make a
point of using your ears, nose, and skin as well. Take in all the layers of sound, smell the many fragrant odors of the day, and feel every part of your body as you move through the air.

It is important to practice meridian exercise in a way that is suitable for your body. For example, a fit person can train more intensely, whereas others should practice the movements much more gently. Even ill and very fragile oler people can benefit from gently rubbing and massaging the whole body while breathing and focusing on conscious awareness. In the beginning, try to master the movements first, rather than attempting to harmonize your breathing with the movements. Practice the movements according to your breathing capacity (without straining) when you are familiar enough with the movements to do them very naturally.
