Then she started her daily walks.Thanks
- 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.Thanks
- 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 life. 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.Thanks
