As we have already pointed out, there are innumerable negative emotional enemies and unpleasant habits that govern our daily existence.

Traducido al Español

We can fight against each other by applying the WALK-RWD system, in different modalities, in terms of the very combination of their own activities that constitute it. We have mentioned that we can activate pleasant or positive emotions by creating a Virtuous Circle through the WALK-RWD system (See writings: READING-WRITING-DRAWING: VIRTUOUS CIRCLE, and NEGATIVE HABITS AND HOW TO COMBAT THEM. GENERAL CASES); as we know, the mere fact of walking encourages us, elevates our self-esteem, and reduces stress and depression. Likewise, with that same Virtuous Circle we can face the unpleasant emotions as well as fight, in general terms, negative habits.

For each of the negative habits there is a special form of the WALK-RWD system that allows us to present a specific front to combat them.

Regarding the use of the WALK-RWD system to deal with overweight, certain categories should be defined, according to differences or marginal increases with regard to the weight of an individual, be it woman or man, determining exactly the pounds for each of the categories, and depending on this, within the WALK-RWD system, decide and define the specific actions that must be carried out, in order to achieve the reduction of a certain amount of pounds. For example for overweight we could have the following categories: lean, skinny, thin, fit, chubby, fat, obese. As for the section of thinness we can mention: skeletal, skinny, slender, puny, and as for the large we can mention: corpulent, robust, beefy, bulky, fleshy, and none of these -categories- requires modification of weight; however, we will have to check if we say: potbellied, paunchy, heavy, buttery, because it may require another kind of medication.

Let’s see how the Vicious Circle of Obesity (VCO) works.

The system of “walking, reading, writing and drawing” can help correct other discomforts, not only in the physical sphere, but also in the mental and cultural sphere. There are many and varied benefits that can be obtained using minimum times and at no cost. It seems that the will and discipline that the individual requires to carry out this type of practice are very difficult to have; we do not all have that capacity and it is surely more difficult than we can imagine, to dedicate an hour a day to our health.

What is highly recommended, to lose weight, is to walk daily, and not to perform intense exercises, because these only burn (or spend) the body’s glucose, that is, only sugar, and not fat, as it does the walk; this allows us to reduce, by its daily performance, about 70% of the fat. So, for obese people who want to lose weight, it is advisable to walk daily, for periods of 1 or 2 hours, and not the intense races of medium or high speed. In short, any intense exercise that generates fatigue or muscle pain or shortness of breath, or any combination of these symptoms, is definitely no better than the walk to lose weight.

As we have already mentioned, within each habit in us there is an “inner need” that we must attend to. In general, all of them manifest, directly or indirectly, in a symptom or external effect.

If we attend to the “inner need” that we have, we can eliminate the habit that has formed us. It is certainly difficult to discover the correlation between need and habit, or sometimes we do not even want to reveal it. However, it is essential to find that relationship to meet the need and thus “break” that Vicious Circle of negative habit.

We will use some of the sequences and schemes used in writing NEGATIVE HABITS AND HOW TO COMBAT THEM, since in this the general cases of negative habits were analyzed.

We all know the endless circle of 1) Depression, anxiety (D), 2) Need for food (F), and 3) Weight Gain (G); it is a chain of three links that always leads to fatness and this, to a greater depression; however, we can modify it if we introduce in it the link of “walking, reading, writing and drawing”.

When a person is exceeded in his weight, his heart has to make greater efforts to carry out his function. High blood pressure and diabetes present a probability of 3 times more in an obese person than in one that has normal weight. Also, obese people are doubly exposed to having high cholesterol levels and to suffer a myocardial infarction. If a person obese of high blood pressure, will manage to lose weight, by walking, using the WALK-RWD system, because for every 4 pounds that lose weight, blood pressure can lower it by 1 mmHg.

This is, in general, a typical case of the Vicious Circle in eating habits. The solution: lose weight; but how?

The Vicious Circles are broken by an external stimulus, creating a new action or activity within the usual chain of events of the analyzed habit. In this way we can remove, in a healthy way, the person out of that vicious circle of habit.

However, we can also solve the problem of negative emotions, which we have described in the writing EMOTIONS AND THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM, which we can reduce through the WALK-RWD system.

Be the chain “D-F-G” of Depression-Food-Weight Gain, which we can all understand:

CHAIN or VICIOUS CIRCLE “D-F-G”

Every time we have finished taking food we must get up from where we are and put the system into practice. This will work in two scenarios, one that we have explained with all its benefits; and another, which will also work, in this type of case, as a discouraging mechanism to continue making us “harm”, by eating food that we do not need. If we can consciously know that we will have to carry out future activities to eliminate that “desired damage”, we will look for ways to avoid it. My experience tells us that if this new link in the chain “D-F-G” is included and it is executed, it will not repeat three times in which it desists to continue punishing, eating unduly and unnecessarily.

Of course, there is always a comfortable tendency to return to the original pattern of behavior; do not allow it.

All weight-loss programs include “X exercises.” The one we propose include them, but it has highly motivating activities, such as reading, writing and drawing -as well as walking-, which will be able to break -after a certain time- with that destructive circle. There is a real possibility of exchanging the critical link that obesity generates with that of “walking, reading, writing and drawing”. In the science of psychology, it is demonstrated that there exists that unconscious mechanism that tries to carry out that substitution.

In any “psycho-dependent” or “psycho-depressive” circle, such as the one just described with respect to obesity, it is possible to define an activity (or more) that is a “switch” that prevents and disconnects the chain, modifying it to reorient it towards tasks that physically and mentally benefit -psychologically- the individual. In our case, the “switch” is the integral system “walking, reading, writing and drawing” that we can use at all times to face the habits that are creating negative situations and attitudes -conscious or unconscious- in our being. We must be alert to detect these neurotic-depressive chains of behavior that create us states of imbalance (see writing EMOTIONS AND THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM), both physical and mental, that once analyzed can incorporate them, at some point in the chain, our “switch” system. It also functions as a trigger mechanism for positive processes and attitudes.

Invariably we must analyze the specific chain to determine the “internal need”, which in turn will facilitate us to identify the point in the chain on which we will have to implement the system as a “switch” of it.

Undoubtedly, any circle of mental dependency of “n” links theoretically has a point where we can include the integral system between the two nodes Ai and Ai + 1, and be able to modify the sequence pattern and of course, eliminating -like consequence of the corrective process- to some or several of the nodes of the original chain, obtaining a new sequence and creating in this way a new and positive circuit of activities. The system will also function as a trigger for effective and positive processes and attitudes.

For example, if we have detected a chain of six related activities, which feed back and generate negative effects on a person’s health, we can apply the integral system.

We have to suppose that we have determined, through relationship analysis: internal need versus habit, that the integral system (WALK-RWD) should be included between activities A3 and A4.

And we can achieve the possible reconfiguration in such a way that it is positive and also eliminating the actions A2 and A4, finally being:

With this action we can “break” the habit within the chain that makes it up.

Needless to say, the analysis of each case and its evaluation will depend on the location of the point where we will have to influence the “switch” to obtain the most immediate and positive results. With the security that if it is not the appropriate point, it will not cause any additional problem in the behavior of the person who is carrying it out and we will be able to remodel it more conveniently, looking for another node for the application of the WALK-RWD system.

The time it will take us to carry out the “interruption” and modification of the “psycho-dependent” circle will depend on each particular case. In general, certain symptoms of improvement may begin to manifest after 2-3 weeks of having put into practice the insertion of the system (always walking). With the full assurance that overweight will begin to decline in this small period and what remains is to continue to apply the system permanently until we have reached an adequate weight. In general, the system works in such a way that an adequate weight is achieved and the “inner necessity” is eradicated in an unconscious way, however, it is possible that the appearance of this need is recurrent and it recovers its psychological dissatisfaction, so that we must be vigilant to apply the WALK-RWD system again, in the same point of the chain or perhaps it has modified its original structure with which we were applying the system, and again we have to analyze and evaluate the new psycho-dependent chain. We can ensure that the system works properly in most cases of psychological dependence. In the events of loss of a loved one, assault or theft, where a depressive state is generated in the affected person, it is advisable to “walk, read, write and draw” to help in recovery, which will reduce the state of depression that comes, many times, to completely incapacitate the people who suffer it. Let’s not forget: walking we can leave behind any type of Vicious Circle, and specifically the psycho-dependent of obesity.

At the beginning of this 2nd year of the Blog, I would like to refer again, as I have done throughout the first year, in several posts, to the great direct benefits obtained through this WALK-RWD Integral System, and to establish that in this next period, we must be much stricter in our commitments to the practice of this system, in order to enjoy their ample rewards.

Traducido al Español

It is time to return to comment on the benefits obtained in health with the application of this WALK-RWD system.

Throughout this second year, I will expose several challenges that over time, will allow us to evaluate the progress in each one of us according to our own behavior profiles. Each challenge will allow, on the one hand, to observe if we are willing to commit ourselves to improve health (prevention, cure and improvement); and on the other, obtain quantifiable elements to know the progress in recovery, strengthening and physical improvement, in the increase of knowledge, in feeling better with ourselves, in the creation of ideas, and in the other areas that the system it provides to develop better.

There are many benefits that are obtained when walking, especially those that favor the best performance in all the systems and organs of our body.

HOW TO IMPROVE OUR DIGESTION? Regarding the digestive system, we believe it is appropriate to recommend walking after each meal, unlike the vast majority of other exercises, as it helps us with excellent digestion and assimilation of food.

IS CHOLESTEROL HIGH? DO YOU SUFFER FROM PAIN OR TIREDNESS IN THE LEGS? DOES THE ANKLES BREAK? In diseases or conditions of cardiovascular or circulatory type, the program also works in a preventive and corrective manner. Any individual -man or woman- who has had the discipline to walk a couple of miles a day for a long period of time, will be able to observe -except in exceptional cases- that his cholesterol measurements are low.

We can also ensure that those who have it high, can reduce it considerably with this system and of course helping with a good diet.

Individuals who walk under specific programs have been able to demonstrate that their respective cardiovascular systems are functioning better than those who are sedentary. Generally, they do not suffer from leg pains, nor do they feel tired.

DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE MISSING AIR WHEN YOU RAISE A FEW STEPS? The respiratory system, together with the cardiovascular system, is responsible for taking oxygen from the air and transporting it to all parts of the human body.

Walking is one of the functions of our most ordinary and natural organism, and we have always done it; being the normal and usual way we have to transport us from one place to another and it is in this way that our organism performs better the function of breathing.

The more we walk the better we will keep the lungs active and the feet will be the pistons that pump (push) the blood against gravity.

A large percentage of the population that we see exercising, in covered places, but above all in the open air, is for the purpose of improving the function of the respiratory system, either because they feel some specific discomfort or because they know by clinical tests that their ailment is abnormal and try to improve.

DO YOU HAVE SOME PAIN IN JOINTS OR KNEES? DO YOU HAVE OSTEOPOROSIS? All types of exercise produce a benefit to the human organism, which is reflected in the strengthening of different systems, including bone.

The human body processes hundreds of products daily and produces several dozens of substances; it is a factory and among those that generate is the bone mass, that is, it strengthens and develops the bones.

The direct way to produce bone mass is through movement; that is, walking is an exercise that favors practically the entire bony system. The walk generates undoubted benefits throughout the bony system, but mainly in the lower extremities (toes, feet, ankles, legs, knees, thighs, hips and coccyx), in the spine and back, also has similar effects in the upper extremities (hands, arms, elbows, shoulders).

DO YOU FEEL WITH PROBLEMS IN YOUR CONDUCT? DO YOU FEEL WRATH, APATHY OR SIMPLY DO NOT WANT TO SEE NOBODY OR DO ANYTHING? DO YOU HAVE PROBLEMS IN YOUR METABOLISM? It is very likely that you have some hormonal irregularity. The endocrine system is a set of glands that produce several substances called hormones that are released into the bloodstream and regulate various functions of the body; hormones are chemical substances that when released into the blood help control the functions of various organs of the body and regulate the behavior of the human being. The most important glands are the thyroid, pituitary and adrenal glands.

Exercise and specifically walking can help improve your endocrine system, which acts as a complete frame of hormonal communications that stimulates the proper development of body tissues, as well as the function of other organs and systems of the body, which also have secondary endocrine functions.

SUFFER FROM INSOMNIA, STRESS OR ANXIETY? SUFFER OF DIZZINESS, NAUSEA? DO NOT DIGEST CORRECTLY? It probably has an imbalance in the neurovegetative system. This system is composed of the sympathetic and the parasympathetic, in addition to the enteric nervous system. The main function of the first is to prepare for the realization of any activity, it places us in an open alert, diminishing the interest in everything else that does not serve us for that moment of action. It gives us strength, speed and tenacity.

The main function of the parasympathetic is to prepare ourselves to achieve relaxation, rest and attenuation, in the expectation of a recharge of energy. It is a state of equanimity, tranquility and weight to rebalance.

The enteric nervous system is what controls gastrointestinal functioning.

A state of harmony, balance and normality is achieved when the sympathetic and the parasympathetic are regulated among themselves.

Everything we feel in our body is determined by the influence of both systems, the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic. The emotions, the feelings, the tastes, the joys, the sorrows, the indifferences, the insensibilities, all this is determined by this pair of systems.

We have experienced convincingly that these two systems can be regulated and balanced by the WALK-RWD system. It seems that the human being on the fly activates the 2 simultaneously, making them work by sending signals to other organs, glands and systems of the organism in such a way that it prepares them all by putting them on alert (Sympathetic) and preparing them for a state of relaxation (Parasympathetic) where all of them flow, according to their functions and production of substances, to reach a creative and harmonious state; eliminating those imbalances of the emotional type and of nervous restlessness; directing the general organic process towards the preservation and storage of energy, both physical and mental.

During the application of the WALK-RWD system, reading, writing or drawing, while walking, allows these neurovegetative systems to be in balance and regulated, and therefore, the alterations that we are suffering in some of the organs are corrected and unpleasant emotions return to their normal acceptable state.

With this writing number 52 a year is fulfilled trying to convey how important it has been for me to perform these activities of reading, writing and drawing, while we walk. It has been truly amazing what I kept discovering about this practice, as I published my experiences, throughout this first year.

Traducido al Español

I felt the need to underline the importance of this system that encompasses health, knowledge, creativity and many other improvements that its practice brings in parallel, and I looked for a word or concept that conveyed that importance but at the same time also communicated that It should be considered as something that can help us to improve the perspective of humanity as a whole that looks towards the future and should be accompanied by an encouraging and effective mechanism that, even with the normal problems and setbacks, would stimulate us to continue feeling and thinking optimistically There were several: paradigm, culture, counterculture, canon, formula, and 2 or 3 more. Some of them that would tell us how to continue our existence and have certainty that if we carry it out, we practice it recurrently, reaching our own future would be less cumbersome, less annoying and less harmful, lighter, more attractive and more pleasant . Each of these words communicate to us (transmit) a part of the benefits and the spirit that generates us the system that I have practiced during 3 decades in a systematic and integral way.

It would be repetitive to point out again what I have written in 51 writings, one every week of this last year. The healing power of walking is extraordinary. Not only does it cure us of some of the sufferings that make us suffer in everyday life, but the greatest thing, in addition, is that it is preventive, prevents many of the recurrent diseases from attacking us.

I am convinced that some of our anxieties and worries, including some physical ailments and disorders, would be solved just by walking, and it would be better to combine it with reading, writing and drawing.

In its labor impact I have also indicated that it has an extraordinary potential, no longer said in the creative field, of drawing, painting, literary, etc.

With accuracy I feel and think that the past and present of our civilization was based on walking, and the future must continue to be built on this organic-functional pillar.

We have already commented that the human body produces some substances when it walks; certain organs and glands of the body begin to work sending signals to generate those substances that are hardly produced in an immobile (sedentary) state. We also know that cerebral waves of different types are generated in each walk, among them alpha and theta (See post WALKING, MEDITATION AND CEREBRAL WAVES), and as we have already mentioned, alpha waves are associated with relaxation and other states more of attenuation of consciousness, while theta are those that are generated in our brain when we are able to place ourselves in a deep calm and the consciousness of time and space are lost, they are the waves that are established and implanted in the mind when we make contact with our unconscious, but we continue with a diminished, evident conscience.

I would like to differentiate the effects of walking by commenting that a part of our organism is stimulated, when we read, write and/or draw while we walk; this, allows us to abstract ourselves because a part of our attention is relaxed and our physical and mental actions are not governed by the conscience-rationalist function, in such a way that it puts us in a hypnagogic state, which does not allow us to realize the elapsed time, Sometimes we do not realize we are reading or writing, and when we “wake up” from that state, we realize that we have walked several miles and read some pages of a certain book; clearly this is generated by walking associated with reading, or writing, or drawing, producing alpha waves but especially theta. However, also this system, on the other hand, causes in our organism a process of production of substances that allows us to improve our functioning in all orders

Likewise, we know that the brain is oxygenated (this is how it is qualified) when we perform exercises, it is true, but certain types of substances that fully favor the functioning of some of the physical-organic systems of the body, as well as fundamental parts of the brain, which have remained asleep, favoring and stimulating their functions (physiological-mental).

How much has been lost with the use of animals, as a means of transport and cargo, as well as the use of carts pulled by animals, and with personal automobiles, which have prevented humans from walking, as they did in times past. If we quantify these two periods, we will see that the latter, where man has decreased his activity of walking, is very small compared to the first.

Several studies show that humans have traveled alone on their 2 feet since 2-3 million years ago, until an era where they began to use various means of loading and transport that represent only 10,000 years; graphically we can represent these 2 periods with a pencil, in which the second period would be the tip of it:

According to our thesis, the human being, when becoming sedentary, has fortunately only lost at least some important components in his physiological constitution, in addition to not being able to counteract some affections for the same, both physical and mental; that will surely be better understood in the future.

There were wise people like the Maya (Post THE ANCIENT MAYAS AND THEIR WHITE ROADS. PART I; Future Post THE ANCIENT MAYAS AND THEIR WHITE ROADS. PART II) who did not use the strength of any animal for personal transport or cargo, direct or pulling wagons, for the same reason that they did not use the wheel either in the construction of transport vehicles. Experts have mentioned: “It is inexplicable that the Mayan people have not been able to create the wheel” as a fundamental piece in the construction of vehicles for transport. I am certain that the inhabitants of this cultured town, who knew and used the zero much earlier than the peoples who came from the conquerors of the Old Continent, knew that they had to walk to move themselves without using the different animal means or the vehicles supported on wheels, because they had full knowledge of what it meant to do so, for their physical health and mental fullness.

The peoples who have walked the most have surely strengthened their physical and mental systems, better, favoring mental functions and have also been able to better counteract some ailments and sufferings than those people who have been more sedentary.

Walking will become the main activity to keep us healthy, physically and mentally.

Let’s recover the lost time, let’s go for a walk and take a book and a notebook.

Some opening words about the concept of symbolism.

We understand the concept of symbolism as a system of symbols (figures, images, forms) by means of which physical, mental and spiritual sensations, beliefs, convictions, ideas, concepts are manifested or revealed -in which the unconscious and consciousness participate directly- and that are manifested through written, oral, corporal languages, etc.

Traducido al Español

Every symbol is cataloged as a subjective compendium of forms and images, conscious and unconscious, whose interpretation can hardly be scientifically proven.

Without pretending to be exhaustive or categorical, we can point out a tentative classification of the types of symbolism that have stood out in human manifestations, within the field of the physical-corporal (soma), psychological (soul) and the mystical (spiritual):

• Symbolism in the arts

• Symbology in psychology

• Fantastic symbolism

• Linguistic symbolism

• Body symbolism

• Spiritual symbolism

• Symbolism of oral myth

• Mythological symbolism

Some of them are essentially interrelated.

The human being uses to communicate with the rest of the world symbolic forms, such as the body (body language), art, language (oral and written), myth, religion, and others, in such a way that the Universal symbolic system is composed of that total range of languages used by the human being. Ernst Cassirer tells us that each of them contains its own set of symbols, and to a greater or lesser extent, participates with a characteristic symbolic part.

Each language contains its own allegorical structure and therefore its own cryptography and symbology, written and/or spoken and/or bodily systems that use enigmatic (secret) “keys” or combined forms that their understanding embodies a hermeticism. All the impressions that the human being receives from the outside configures and transforms them into the type of languages, which, voluntarily or not, consciously or unconsciously, he uses to comprehend, apprehend and process them in his inner personal source, and once translated, he communicates them towards his external circumstance.

On the other hand, the human being uses an internal symbology to communicate with himself, between his unconscious and his conscious.

The individual unconscious tries to communicate unfailingly and permanently with consciousness by means of symbols that it has structured.

We must bear in mind that the enormous force of consciousness hinders the fluidity of the symbols emanating from the unconscious, as well as, by its very structure and essence, it avoids or evades its understanding. This is where we must emphasize that the task of translating the language of the unconscious is difficult for the generality of human beings.

However, the tacit translation can be achieved by transcribing that symbology that the unconscious uses, instructing itself for it.

Now, every time we are ready to walk, unconsciously (subliminally) we are indicating that we are going to move forward.

It is generally acceptable that symbolism, that mechanism of symbolic structuring, be oriented in time and space, to construct signs, which represent different categories and concepts. All the images meant are exclusive of the individual and collective unconscious, that is, of the subliminal chamber where they originate and are processed.

The symbols that are generated in the collective unconscious are representations that allow the connection between the unconscious and consciousness. We can hardly rationally and voluntarily achieve this connection by designing new signs, although its use for long periods could make it possible, making them inherent in the collective unconscious; so, it is not an impossible activity.

The symbolism of bodily psychic activity is universal, although each individual psyche manages the symbols in a particular way, assigning different contents and scope, depending on the circumstances that each individual had to live and the context in which they manifest.

Now, walking can be considered as containing two forms of symbolism by which the human being communicates. The part of physically moving from one place to another, represents a symbolism that involves the metamorphosis of being to move bodily from one circumstance to another, as if it were transforming, by moving on its own feet, from a physical-sensitive stage to another, with different sensitivities and corporal manifestations.

The other symbolic form is the language of one’s own body. Being in motion allows you, through your body language, to communicate what our physical being (corporal catharsis or mechanistic method) aims to achieve through this movement of walking; on the one hand, to help the mental part to free it from its emotional state, by sending messages to all parts of the body and functional organs, to improve the mood and health; and on the other, by means of this mechanical practice (behavior) that allows the physical catharsis of the subjection and immobility, which chains it, suffocates and makes it impossible to unravel its needs for exercises. Walking is the symbolic mechanism that has the meaning of reshaping and integrating the character and personality of the individual.  (Future Post LISTENING TO OUR BODY WHILE WALKING-BODY LANGUAGE).

An analogue extrapolation of this is traveling, which is nothing other than the search for a renewing experience, the beginning of a change that seeks to reach somewhere; initiator of a metamorphosis for transcendence. Thus, walking, as an analogy of traveling, symbolically means the intrinsic need to be free, seeking an initiating experience, of change. It is a symbol of transcendence. Try to break with the social status that surrounds you: friends, colleagues, family, work, studies, etc. The case of Paracelso who traveled 13 years is an example. The trip is the symbolic representation of a search to face new experiences and discoveries, liberation, renunciation, atonement. It is generated by a natural state of discontent with oneself and with the environment that surrounds us. Search for a change, exploration of knowledge of the nature of life and death, to know what to do with one’s existence. Depending on the individual, it can be a trip around the world, leave your town, change your home, or just take walks aimlessly. All this, to transcend internally towards a new way of living. (Future Posts DROMOMANIA and THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM AND THE TRAVEL MANIA).

Walking as a representation of colors will be analyzed later in Future Post WALKING WITH THE COLORS, where we relate the symbolism of colors to walking.

In short, the symbolism of walking is the abstraction of external conditioning, is to let the thoughts flow to the inner self, is to find itself.

CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS. The human being consists of “biological clocks” that regulate the functions of the organism in an optimal way. This optimization is done 24 hours a day, without these “watches” resting at all. Each “biological clock” of our being, sends a “cronos signal” (signal of time) that arrives at all the organs and systems, and to all the cells of the body. That is to say, they carry out a perfect synchronization of all the organs and their respective functions, during every 24 hours; at the end of that period, they reinitiate their synchronous functional operation again, using the 5 external senses, and managing to optimize the functioning of the organism (physical and mental), and that of the operation of all the organs and biological systems of the being.

Traducido al Español

The positive changes, both organic (the functional, in the production of glandular substances, etc.), mental (ideas, images, thoughts, etc.) and emotional, that we experience while walking, respond to circadian rhythms defined throughout the 24 hours of a full day, according to the schedule in which the walk is made. These circadian rhythms facilitate and regulate the performance of biological activities at a precise and specific time during the day and night.

It should be noted that in this daily and incessant operation, the intensity of the participation of each of the 5 external senses, varies according to the “biological clock” that is operating during the day and night periods, and the activities performed by the individual.

As it is to be supposed, the walks do not have the same effect on our organism, if we carry them out during the day or at night, in the morning (early morning), at noon or in the afternoon.

Walking to the sides (right or left) or doing it backwards, would not be correlated biologically with the circadian rhythm that we execute when we walk normally forward, because we have always done it that way. Circadian rhythms are probably a reptilian part of the human brain.

Without exaggerating this, I could say that just as it is common sense to consider that it is not the same to start walking daily at 20 years of age than at 60, so we can also say that there is a difference in doing so at different times of the day, and it is defined by the circadian rhythms, which are our endogenous biological clocks.

Personally, in this present time, I put into practice the WALK-RWD system, three times a day, in the morning (8-9 am), at noon (1-2 pm) and in the afternoon (5:30-6:30 pm). However, each person, depending on their time availability, should select their program, and experience the daily periods of walking (1, 2, 3, etc.), observing how they feel better and which one gives the best results, in the intelligence, that the effects on circadian rhythms are different when we read, write or draw while we walk.

Let’s match our biological clocks with our daily walk.
