Walking Your Blues Away
Walking Your Blues Away: How to Heal the Mind and Create Emotional Well-Being | Thom Hartmann
1 post
A new approach to using walking to heal emotional trauma and bring forth optimal mental functioning Explores why and how we carry emotional wounds, and how they can be healed and resolved Shows how walking stimulates both sides of the brain to promote and restore mental health Provides simple, yet potent, mental exercises to use while walking Our bodies usually heal rapidly from an illness, injury, or wound. Yet our minds and hearts often suffer for years with debilitating symptoms of distress or upset. Why is it so hard for our minds and hearts to heal? The key to healing them is simple and can be just a short walk away. Walking--a bilateral therapy that has been a part of human life throughout history--allows people to heal emotionally as quickly as they do physically. Bilateral therapies engage both sides of the brain and unlock natural states of optimal function and creativity. Thom Hartmann examines how memory works and why emotional shock can resist normal healing. He found that the simple act of walking is effective in treating emotional disturbances ranging from temporary upsets and problems to chronic conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. Case studies have shown dramatic results. Walking consciously, while holding a distress or desire in mind, can rapidly dissolve the rigidity of a traumatic memory or negative mind state, dispersing its unpleasant associations in as little as a half hours time. While walking has always been a natural part of life, its importance in promoting and maintaining mental health is only recently being rediscovered. Hartmanns simple yet potent exercises allow us to create our own walking journeys to restore our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being as well as rejuvenate our bodys health.

Haven‘t read the tagged book, but I want to. Thanks, @Megabooks for making a pact with me. I didn‘t want to disappoint you, so I went out and walked 1.01 miles — not as much as I usually do but a whole lot better than 0! Here‘s some pictures of my university‘s campus — lots of green spaces. I feel so much better than yesterday! #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge #goteam @wanderinglynn @Emilymdxn @cewilf @cobwebmoth @RachelO @TheEllieMo @Trashcanman
