Synopsis

Sometimes the simplest path is the best one.

We've all heard about the health benefits of exercise, fresh air, and mindfulness. But let's be real. Even with the best of intentions, most of us can barely manage to get to bed on time, let alone get to the gym, take up running, or learn to meditate. And guilt just adds to our stress!

But there is another way. Mindful Walking!

In this newly revised and expanded Edition of The Mindful Walker, science writer, coach, and certified Natural Mindfulness Guide Alex Strauss offers a simple, practical guide to harnessing the power of Nature connection to think more clearly and creatively, get in better shape, and feel more joy - in just minutes a day!

Leaning on her own experience as a business owner and working parent, and drawing from time-honored practices like forest bathing (shinrin yoku), walking meditation, and nature therapy, Strauss has helped hundreds of busy people find their center and reclaim their tranquility, right outside their door.

In The Mindful Walker she offers her fresh perspective in down-to-Earth instructions, personal examples, and inspiring walking prompts, as well as downloadable resources, including an audio guided walk.

You’ll discover:

• How to get up and moving, regardless of your mood or the weather
• Practical tips to carve an extra 15 minutes out of even the busiest day
• Simple techniques to quickly rise above worry and clear your thoughts
• How to tone your legs and backside with every step
• Breathing exercises to calm anxiety and increase energy
• Simple prompts to sharpen your senses and improve your focus - at work and at home
• Some of the amazing research on the mind-body benefits of walking, mindfulness, and exposure to green spaces
• Time saving tips, advice about shoes (it's not what you expect!) recommended books, and more!

If you have ever been moved by birdsong, inspired by trees, or soothed by a breeze - or you'd just like to be - you will be delighted by this simple but profound little book.

Buy The Mindful Walker today and see for yourself how a healthier, happier, and more peaceful life really can be a walk in the park!
