HEALTH / HEALING "This book is a prescription for mental wellness
that has no bad side effects. Walking, like drawing, is a human
activity that calms the brain and induces insight. . . . Buy
several copies--you'll be handing this book out to friends."
--Betty Edwards, author of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
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? One simple key to healing them 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. Normally the brain converts our
daily experiences into long-term memories. However, a traumatic
experience can become "stuck" in the brain, unable to be stored as
"memory" and persisting in the brain as if it were still a
present-time event. Thom Hartmann explains that when we walk, which
engages both sides of the body, we simultaneously activate both the
left and right sides of the brain. This allows the brain's two
hemispheres to join forces to break up brain patterning and allow
the sufferer to release these distresses--from extreme but brief
upsets to chronic conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder
and depression. To achieve these results, Hartmann shows how we
must learn to walk consciously, holding an awareness of the
distress (or desire we hope to attain) in mind as we move. Using a
variety of case studies, he demonstrates that it is possible to
dissolve the rigidity of a traumatic memory or negative mind state
in as little as a halfhour's time. His techniques have proven
successful in helping to alleviate rage resulting from a domestic
dispute as well as the chronic traumas soldiers experience during
war that are often locked away for decades. While the physical
benefits of walking have long been recognized, its importance in
promoting and maintaining mental health has only recently been
rediscovered. Hartmann's deceptively 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
body's health. THOM HARTMANN is the award-winning, bestselling
author of over a dozen books, including The Edison Gene, The Last
Hours of Ancient Sunlight, and Attention Deficit Disorder: A
Different Perception. His groundbreaking work in ADD/ADHD and
psychotherapy has been featured in TIME magazine, the New York
Times, and in media around the world. He lives in Oregon.
