How to Practice Yoga Walking

How to Practice Yoga Walking

Yoga walking is enlightenment while walking. This is the
ultimate kick! It's health training, stress reduction, and
inner happiness in one. Yoga walking is your daily
pilgrimage into the light. If you really pilgrimage, the
pilgrimage will turn you into a goddess of happiness.

!! Steps !!

* Practice yoga walking every day for 30 minutes on weekdays and at
least an hour on weekends. When the walk starts, move quickly
(power walking), and by the end of the walk, graduate to moving
slowly (slow walking). Be sure to undertake all the 10 key
elements each time, as outlined in the following steps, to get the
most benefit from yoga walking.
Stomp your anger into the ground while you walk. Let out all the
pent-up anger. Think the mantra "Anger, Anger, Anger".

* What has annoyed you today? Don't let it vex you any longer; free
yourself from it!

Feel your sadness. Resolve the feelings by walking out your
sadness. Feel your sadness inside.

* What makes you sad today? Think several times the mantra: "I'm sad
because ...".

* Rotate your shoulders. Do this to remove any tension in your
shoulders and your neck. Find the optimal way of moving your
shoulders to achieve the best effect.

* Rotate your spine. When walking, turn your spine to the right, and
then to the left, several times. Do this gently, and turn your
head with your body.

Allow a healing color to trickle through your body from head to
foot. Think the name of the color as a mantra.

* What color do you need now? "Orange, blue, gold, pink...".

* Concentrate as you walk connected to the ground. Feel the earth
beneath your feet. Think the mantra "Earth" and breathe for a
minute into your feet.
Move one hand and send someone a positive sentence. What do you
want to say to him or her today? Think of the phrase several times
as a mantra.

* Send light to the world and think: "May all beings be happy. May
the world be happy."

* Imagine the numbers 1 to 20 in your head, chest, abdomen, legs,
feet, and into the ground (beneath the feet). Do this every day,
and you will quickly and effectively relieve tension that has
built up in all major areas of your body.

* Visualize a beautiful sun in the sky and clothe yourself
with a golden ray of sunshine. Fill yourself with light. Think the
word "Light" as a mantra, many times over.

* Stop all thoughts. For five minutes while walking, move all the
stress out of you, until your mind becomes calm. Rest a while. Let
all thoughts come and go as they please.
Walk freely. Go whichever way you feel you want to. Enjoy it.
Observe how your mind slowly becomes positive. You are now back
from your pilgrimage into the light.

* After each yoga walking session, realise that you have done
something wonderful and caring for your physical health and for
your mental well-being. Keep your happiness. The light will
accompany you through your whole day.

!! Tips !!

* _A small tale about the virtue of yoga walking_: There once was a
woman who was constantly worried. She worried about everything.
She worried about her children, her friends, about having enough
money to live on and about her health. She wore herself out with
her cares and concerns. She was afraid that she could no longer
control her fear, and feared that she might not have enough inner
strength in the long run to defeat the constant worrying thoughts.
Then she got the idea to walk every day for half an hour. She
decided upon a favorable time for her and looked for a suitable
location. She bought comfortable clothes to wear, airy clothes for
sunny days, and an umbrella and sturdy shoes for rainy days; light
clothes for summer, and something warm for the winter. Then she
started her daily walks. In the beginning she found it very
difficult to go every day at a certain hour. But after about three
months, she had become accustomed to it and walking had become an
integral part of her live. She discovered that she had gained much
inner strength. Her mind was positive, and her fears were
lessened. Her health improved, and over the years, she became an
enthusiastic devotee of yoga walking.

!! Warnings !!

* Never give up. Your purpose in life is to be happy, healthy, and
enlightened. Walk every life into a higher level of light. Become
a Goddess, Buddha, Shiva one day. If you're liberated, then
liberate all your fellow people. Stay always on your yoga walk
through all dimensions of life. May the world be happy. May all
people be happy.
