Wisdom


How to walk intelligently with energy and confidence: first, you must align your spine and neck to ensure you have a good posture. Keep your chin parallel to your feet like you are standing on a flat ground, so your eyes can see a long distance ahead and wide. Lift and hold your center (core) up, with proper breathing. Push your hips forward, pressure shoulders directly over your hips and your hips over your heels. Distribute your weight over one foot; keep that foot completely flat on the ground from toe to heel flat on the ground while the other foot is advancing. If you have time, inhale deeply through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.

This kind of body positioning is healthy and attractive as you display confidence. Breathing helps with endurance, relaxes you and allows you to pay attention to the outside World – you can think more clearly. Also, focus on being patient, attentive, alert, and pleasant. Kancho Bambouyani
