THE “HERE AND NOW” WITH THE SYSTEM

The method itself will never allow you to think or feel that what you are doing during its process is a preparation for some other activity that has no relation with its functional structure, but rather generates a state that places you in the “here and now” and in no other action or place.

Traducido al Español

All its development has direct effects on a transformation of our thoughts and sensations that lead to full abstraction on the activities of walking and especially in the reading of the book you have chosen, or on the subject  you are developing; a full concentration on that activity that you have selected to carry out during your walk.

One of the most effective ways to locate ourselves in the “here and now” is taking the administration of our time very seriously. In general, time schedules the agreements and needs and if we do not make them timely, they can generate a state of anxiety that is difficult to correct. We only have to make the decision to start our walk with the selected book, under our arm. The system will lead us facing the incorruptible “Lord Time” and in a short time the right place will be where we are doing our walk, and the correct time will be the same as we are reading the chosen book.

386. THE INCORRUPTIBLE “LORD TIME”

That philosophical part  -which for many is unattainable-  is achieved by applying the method: it invariably leads us and without any problem to feel at the right time and place, performing the appropriate activity, in a natural way; transmitting to us that the only real thing, within that pattern of “here and now”, is what we are developing.

A SMALL MANUAL THAT EXPLAINS THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM

As I mentioned, these personal experiences through my walks have allowed me to venture into so many different topics through reading, as well as writing about those  subjects that I have always had the inclination to do.

It was so pleasant and effective to put it into practice, that I decided in 2009 to publish a small Manual where I could share all my experiences that I had had up to that moment. Yes it is important to point out that since that time I have been reaffirming everything I said in that manual with some news more than the system generates.

THE RECOMMENDED DISTANCES

It is recommended that the first days begin by walking small distances, on each walk: from 1500 to 2500 feet per day (1/3 to 1/2 Mile), during the first week. From the beginning you should exercise joint activities, walk and read, or, walk and write, in such a way that you get a good training in them. The next week you can increase the distances, according to your physical abilities, but also depending on your attachments and needs for reading and writing. According to my experiences, I can recommend the following parameters that can serve as a guide for reading and writing walks. Keep in mind that each one must determine the distances and the respective speeds.

HARMONY OF THE BODY WITH THE MIND

We have mentioned that when we walk, we must let time flow by making him his ally and after 10-15 minutes, his body and mind will be doing intimately coordinated activities, with a total abstraction of time. This way of harmonizing the body with the mind, through walking and reading, leads us to a full liberation. You will not be able to distinguish if time travels next to you, or if you also went to walk through other paths in the same park or maybe beyond, the truth is that, as if by magic, you slip away and lose contact with him.

The same thing happens -and sometimes even more deeply- when combining walking with writing. For me it is much more liberating and allows me to abstract to a greater extent this last combination; the proofs of this are overwhelming, because I usually walk, on average, 1.6 miles (2.6 kilometers) of travel, but when, instead of reading, I prefer to write, I always exceed this distance by 30 to 50 percent of that distance. Of course, these differences have to do with the inclinations of each person and with the type of reading selected -more or less interesting or exciting- and with the kind of text that has been decided to write.

REASON TO SHARE THE SYSTEM

The main reason that motivated me to share this method is to be able to convey the importance of reading and writing while human beings walk, because their intellectual capacity is enhanced, mental functions (thinking, imagining, creativity, memory, etc.) increase, and improve their ability to learn and process the information they have. We could assure that this generalized increase in the capacities of the human mind, is sought through the exercise that makes work areas of the brain, which in a state of rest, remain less active.

Difficult is to scientifically demonstrate these possibilities that walking leads us to better levels of our mind. However, the experience has been enough to consider it.

Mental abilities increase when we move, so it is recommended that we carry out reading and writing activities during those trips. We must experience it ourselves and obtain our own conclusions and also evaluate the results through these practices.
