Mindful Walking Mantras Improve Your Technique, Align Your Spine, Protect Your Joints

Mindfulness walking mantras to help improve your walking technique, improve your alignment, and protect your joints. Mindfulness is a process of applying intense focus on your senses and awareness of the activity you are performing, such as breathing. Mindfulness movement applies this awareness to movements of the body. Common mindfulness movement activities are Tai Chi and Yoga. Walking can also be performed with mindfulness if we have the tools to understand how we are controlling our bodies. In this video, I review how we control our bodies using a finite number of neurologically ingrained patterns common to all humans that make it possible for us to walk upright on two legs. I review the specific patterns for most common walking scenarios, including walking forward on level ground, walking uphill and downhill, walking up stairs and down stairs, and turning in a circle. I provide you mantras, or verbal cues, that you can use in each scenario to bring these movements from your subconscious body memory up to your conscious understanding. When you move with conscious understanding, you will be able to keep your spine aligned, get your weight properly distributed over your joints, and reduce wear and tear and potential injury.
