Right rhythm in walking

Examine the way you walk so you can improve it if necessary. Try to walk with suppleness and lightness, with your head up. It's a very bad habit to walk stooped, as it is to hit your heel hard against the ground with each step: people who walk like this don't realize they are doing violence to their brain, for each jolt has repercussions inside on their entire nervous system, and after a few years they will think and act in a coarse and violent manner.

If you are tired after half an hour or an hour's walking, this also means you do not know how to walk. Walking gives you energy if you know how to adopt the right rhythm, and even if you were tired at the outset you will gradually feel your strength return. There is a rhythm for walking which isn't tiring, and everyone should try to acquire it. When you feel forces beginning to circulate within you as you walk, it means you have found the right rhythm.
