“A transformative guide to unlocking the potential of walking as a profound practice for holistic well-being. The authors offer invaluable insights and practical exercises that empower readers to enrich their walking experience. This book provides a holistic framework for enhancing physical, mental, and emotional health.” — Brett Bevell, author of Energy Healing for Everyone, Psychic Reiki, and Reiki for Spiritual Healing

“Scholarly and playful, Walking Well first teaches how to walk without tension, in harmony with the earth. From there, the authors walk us through portals to self-awareness, sensory perception, physical and spiritual vitality, and self-development. We visit philosophy, neuroscience, and the arts on this shape-shifting journey. At last, this delightful read brings us to the place where we walk in beauty.” — Patricia L.
