First things first: HOW DOES THIS WALKING-with-daniel THING WORK? ARE YOU EVERYWHERE?
Nope. You walk where you are, I walk where I am, and our phones connect us. The thing is, walking by phone works just as well as in person— sometimes even better, surprisingly!
OK. BUT WHY TAKE A WALK?
I’ll let my man Søren Kierkegaard, the 19th-Century Danish philosopher, go first on that one:
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”
I love walking. It helps me clear my head, reset my point of view, and connect with my body—always a source of great information and even wisdom.
But this isn't about me. It's about you shifting something— and mind and body are intimately connected. "Connected" might even misleading: they're two different expressions of the same thing, like two sides of a coin. So when something shifts in one, the other is sure to follow.
Whatever you're stuck with right now, it's the result of something being out of alignment in your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and perceptions. Moving the body is a great way to shake all that stuff up.
Yes, Luke.
Also, a walk can be a great metaphor for what we're doing with mental chiropractic. Being stuck is a matter of only seeing things one way— a way that no longer works. So what you're "stuck" with is a certain point of view.
My job is to help you get clear about that point of view—because we're often the last ones to see how we're currently seeing things—and then guide you to try on some alternate ones.
When you walk, your point of view shifts with every step. And even if you return to where you started, your view of that starting place has transformed by virtue of having left it for a while.
OK, TELL ME MORE.

GREAT, I'M READY TO WALK!
