"Walk as if you're kissing the Earth with your feet"

“Walk the Earth” - Thich Nat Hahn

When we walk, like we’re rushing, we print anxiety and sorrow on the Earth. We have to walk only footprints of peace and serenity on the Earth. Be aware of the contact between your feet and the ground beneath you. Walk as if you’re kissing the Earth with your feet.

I teach this message from Thich Nat Hahn, a renowned Spiritual teacher, in my classes as a gentle reminder that we can move throughout our day with intentionality. Yoga is all about Intentionality. We must be intentional with the practice and the way we move our energy on the mat. This requires some effort and dedication. It is a mindful practice in and of itself. How do you move about your day? When you catch yourself rushing when you don’t have to…..let this be a friendly reminder to slow down.
