People often ask how to walk properly? Basically, this is a very stupid question, because due to their physical condition, they cannot walk properly even if they wanted to.
A better question would be how you can gradually improve your walking and how to learn the principle of walking.
- Try to watch your left leg as you walk for a day or a week. Don’t be conspicuous, don’t attract other people’s attention.
- Try to watch your right leg as you walk for a day or a week. Don’t be conspicuous, don’t attract other people’s attention.
- Do both exercises whenever you remember them, whenever they remind you. We will need some mastery of them for the next lessons.
- As you walk, watch your left and right leg alternate as you move them forward.
- As you walk, watch your left and right feet as each of them alternately stay on the ground and work to move your body forward.
- As you walk, observe both legs in their movements, with the leg that is on the ground being the main (yin) leg and the leg moving forward being the secondary (yang).
- Do both exercises whenever you remember them, whenever they remind you. We will need some mastery of them for the next lessons. If you can consciously perform the exercises listed in Lessons 1-5 at least to a certain level, you will acquire psychosomatic abilities that most civilized people do not have.
- Do not look for reasons why you should or should not do the recommended exercises. Don’t think about exercise, but practice it. Many pass such exercises unnoticed. They believe that they understand them and that they do not need to implement them. They are wrong. They don’t understand anything at all. The results of the exercises are not transferable. We can describe them, but we have achieved nothing by doing so.
There are many people who walk regularly or often, and even long distances, and brag about it. However, their walking does not improve in any way, because its quantity has completely suppressed its quality. Sometimes less is better than more.
