Just try walking somewhere for once. The obesity epidemic would be gone if people walked at least 3 miles a day. Hell 10 miles is healthier
Writing the magic
I'm working on my latest project and found myself scared. I can sit and pound out the philosophy behind the meditations and practices, but when it's time to list out the actual activities it takes so much out of me.
One of the main themes in this new book is motion and the power of movement. So, of course, I got up and walked circles around the room to build energy and give in to whatever needs to come out.
It always offers some kind of power, but when I did this today, it was like being struck by lightening (in a good way). I could feel everything electrified. Every sensation, every reality was like a rocket exploding and shooting outward. My body vibrated with more goosebumps than ever.
I was able to pound through more work when I returned to my desk, but now I'm just sitting here like a blade of grass after the storm, wondering what it all means and when I'll feel that rush of understanding and heightened consciousness again. It's definitely time for some grounding.
Maybe that's why I'm posting this.
There is no cleaner form of travel than walking.
100 years ago people walked about 10 miles a day. Today you can barely get an American to walk 1.
Gas powered cars are NOT clean, but battery powered cars are not a cleaner alternative. The batteries don’t last as long, are not recyclable or as easily reused for parts as gas engine batteries, and they are charged using mostly coal power. These are all factors that will not reduce pollution but shift it.
Also, these mines are horrid, and guess who works in them? Black slaves in Africa procured by China. Yes, the slave trade is alive and well outside of the U.S. Not the metaphorical one people talk about when mentioning “wage slaves” but actual bondage-rip you away from your home and your family-you have no right to anything, slavery.
If you want to do something good for the planet, and humanity, walk more. If I’m going somewhere within 3-6 miles of my house, I usually walk it with my 4 children. It’s great exercise for the able bodied. If you have a handicapped loved one, friend, or neighbor, offer to push their wheelchair or run errands for them.
We can do more than just follow “political solutions” which are, most often, not solutions at all.
