THE ART OF WALKING:
UNDERSTANDING CONCEPTS AND TECHNIQUES
The Art of
Walking and the Way of the Breath main goal, in these classes is to
less stress in shoulder and tension in body through walking and using
the breathing techniques and understanding how the mind works in
directing energy in the body. It offers techniques (ways of doing
things with the mind and body) and concepts (relationship in the mind,
between ideas, thoughts and abstractions to manage a persons body
tension and shoulder stress) that less tension in the body and give a
person ways to deal and manage life conflicts. It offers an
understanding of energy in the body and out side of the body that
affect the everyday experiences of a person living life.
Understanding relationships between Mind, Body and Breath is
the first part of using walking as a way changing one self by
controlling body tension which lets a person feel more of there life
experiences. For Walking is a human act that benefits a person in
more ways, for time spent doing it, then any other activity. Walking
is natural act for humans and by making Walking an Art will increase
the benefits that can be enjoyed by the body and mind.
CONCEPT: The Art of Walking concepts
There are three parts that form a person; they are Mind Body and
Breath. What each part form relationship to each other between the
parts a person can create a game, which will create experiences. The
first part to look at is the body and what it does in the Art of
Walking. The body is the source of all energy (energy is three
things, Spirit, Breath and Electrical energy or Chi, Ki) and its
location is in the abnormal area of the body. The abnormal area is
the “source” of energy and physical strength, which located in the
center of the body or the core. Energy and physical strength should be
directed out to three points on the body and they are feet, hands and
head area. The goal of this Art of Walking is to direct energy and-or
strength to the feet, hands and head areas of the body. Using walking
and the breathing methods is a way of creating circulation of energy
with the breath to brake up stress in shoulders and tension in the
body and balancing energy between the three parts. Developing the
circulation of energy through out the body by using the breath should
be view as a game, played between all the parts. Using walking to
balance and rebalance energy in the body is one of the goals and
benefits of the Art of Walking.
The body receives two types of basic energy, one from earth,
in the form of food and the different type of food have different
energy affects in the body of a person, which affect a person
experiences. The second type of energy to the body is connected to the
Breath, which creates energy to keep a person alive. The act of
creating a breath forms of energy, which makes and creates each person
spirit. The two type of basic energy is the foundation for life, so
how one plays with the energy affect the life experiences in every day
living, ever so little most of the time.
CONCEPT:
The Mind and how the Art of Walking views it and use the different
properties and functions of the mind. The mind has “two functions”
and by understanding each a person can play between the two and make a
game of it. The first function is to feel or sense and control the
body either as it moves or stand still but it is told feeling of the
body is one end of the continuum. The other end of the continuum is
thinking, that forms symbolism, creates ideas with emotions and does
abstracts liked math. The best term that reflexes this idea is “living
in one’s head”. The rule is the more a person is into abstracts in the
head the less they feel the body. Understanding how the mind works off
of symbolism through language and creates words that evoke emotions
gives a person ability to change their energy in the body and
emotional reality. The one of the main rules in this Art, of energy
management, is with the head and mind or mindfulness is “the mind or
mindfulness directs all energy” from the body. The mind directs
energy and uses and absorbs energy. The mind eats energy from the
body in the form of abstraction that creates emotions. There are two
types of emotions positive and negative and each type affect the
physical state of the body.
What the mind, head or mindfulness doe,
it looks for way to get energy from the body and the body creates
pathway or chancels, which shape the body to provide energy to the
mind. The shape of a body acts on energy flows through the body that
affect the energy to the mind that creates emotions. Emotions
basically are founded on some form of value structure that judges life
experiences. The meaning of life is “experiences of the body” for the
body will always experience something so long as there is life. For an
individual, a person, the goal of life is to “create purpose” from the
natural energy drives and channel the forces of different drive to
create something that has value to them. One of the joys of life is
to cultivate talent out of one self.
The mind takes symbols or objects, like a
picture of someone carved object to forces their thoughts on, or
music, and the mind place emotional value to them and are body acts
out what is in are mind thoughts. There are no emotions with out
energy, to hold them in the mind or in one head. To change one emotion
is to change one body shape or look. At high emotional states the
body takes on a shape to channel energy to keep an emotion state as
long as possible. To change one’s life experience a person has to
change symbols and language thoughts to positive one and have to
reshape the body as will to provide energy to new ideas and language
to support knew behavior, which will create new experiences in life.
That is the way to stop providing energy to the old negative thoughts
and behavior. As an adult with the able to exercise free will to
create wisdom of life. The need for wisdom in human life creates
joyfulness to express, contentment in the body and happiness in
calmness in spirit. Finding good symbolism in life that promotes
wisdom which will direct are energy to a higher level, so we can be
greater then we where before. Having a feeling of doing something
great then our self (or being selfless in our action) is nice feeling
that helps others, as will as one self and experiences life an new.
The reason to think about this is to less stress in shoulder and
tension in body. With stress in the body, does not let a person feel
or experience the body for it is a negative to life.
