 | The Spirited Walker by Carolyn S. Kortge
No matter how fast or how far you walk, no matter what your goals or fitness level, this guide will lead you along a path of mental and physical exercise that travels from sole to soul. Author Carolyn Scott Kortge, an award-winning journalist and masters racewalker, offers a wealth of easy-to-do breathing exercises, visualizations, and active affirmations that transform fitness walking into a meditative practice. She encourages you to begin wherever you are and to move forward at your own pace, gradually turning your daily stroll in the park or power-walk at lunch into a practice of awareness, spiritual renewal, and physical vitality. Whatever your motivation for walking--relaxation, aerobic fitness, weight loss, a healthy heart, or interaction with nature--a spirited walk can become the first step in a spiritual journey, Kortge says. With humor, anecdotes, and practical advice, she shows you how to take the first step and motivates you to walk for life with an approach to fitness that puts care of the soul on equal footing with care of the body. This is the walking book I wanted to write! While so many books focus primarily on physical fitness and health, my readers tell me it's the spiritual connection walking satisfies that keeps them going. --Maggie Spilner, walking editor, Prevention Magazine If you really want to give your spiritual life a boost, let Kortge show you how the simple act of walking can take you on the trail of self-transformation to destinations inward bound that you never knew existed. Here is a direct way to knowing yourself and a celebration of being fully alive. --Jerry Lynch, Ph.D., coauthor of Working Out, Working Within [A]n excellent book about walking to cultivate the breath of life. --Chungliang Al Huang, author of Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain An excellent read . . . Kortge's images express the beauty of walking as a spiritual journey for those who seek it or just plain fun for us jocks who want to try s AUTHOR: Carolyn S. Kortge
