Deep Walking is a book written to encourage people to engage in a
holistic walking program for better health. Laden with current
research statistics it demonstrates how changing forces in our
culture including poor diet and increased inactivity are putting
all of us at risk for serious diseases which deprive us of lives of
longer duration and good quality. The numbers of overweight and
sedentary people in the world who eat unhealthful foods laced with
sugar, salt, and fats and who choose physically inactive forms of
work and entertainment generated in part by the new techno/gadget
culture are growing exponentially. The result is an epidemic of
diseases which range from compulsive/addictive disorders to
diabetes, from severe obesity to deadly cancers, all of which
threaten not only to steal the quality of our lives today but to
end them prematurely tomorrow. Deep Walking takes walking to the
next level. It not only provides the reader with evidence for the
harm caused by our increasingly inactive lifestyles but presents
specific recommendations for how we can engage in a life-long
walking program and the benefits of doing so. It shows how we can
increase our body fitness as we reduce destructive mental stress
using walking meditation techniques, affirmations, and mindful
sensual awareness activities. Those who participate in this
holistic walking regimen will find it transformational and enjoy
greater physical health and decreased susceptibility to illness as
they feel more at peace mentally and enjoy increased happiness in
all aspects of their lives. Deep Walking contains the following
chapters: Active vs. Inactive, Why Walking?, Let Me Get Those
Excuses for You, Assessment, Setting Realistic Goals, Walking Gear,
