“Few things are as healing as a walk. I heartily endorse Healing Walks for Hard Times.”
–Christiane Northrup, author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom.
“Courageous, compassionate and compelling, this wise guide to the healing power of walking elegantly demonstrates how simple steps can offer profound benefits.” —Carol Krucoff, author of Healing Yoga for Neck and Shoulder Pain and Duke Integrative Medicine yoga therapist
“Solvitar ambulando,” attests a Latin phrase attributed to St. Augustine. “It is solved by walking.”
Not everything, of course, is solved by walking. But a good deal is. Walking awakens the profound healing power of the human spirit and carries it into each cell with chemicals that change the way you feel. And it doesn’t take very long. When life knocks you down, get your feet back on the ground and speed the healing with these walking tips.

THE WALKING PRESCRIPTION
|
 Tap the healing power of movement with Healing Walks for Hard Times. With a focus on walking for wellness rather than walking for fitness, it maps a path through life’s difficulties. More than an exercise guide, Healing Walks for Hard Times acknowledges recovery not only as a physical process, but also an emotional, spiritual, and mental journey—a journey of survivorship. With a guided program of movement, Healing Walks for Hard Times places walking on a par with healing, meditative practices such as tai chi, yoga, and relaxation programs.
Week by week, walkers learn to pair their steps with focusing techniques that clear a path through crisis. By directing awareness to breath, visual imagery, or self-talk, they create stress release and moments of peace in which healing and recovery begin.
Personal stories from survivors of heart disease, cancer, depression, diabetes, accident, and natural disaster inspire and affirm the effectiveness of walking as a healing path in any trauma.
With walk guidelines at three fitness levels, walkers set the pace of their own healing, making Healing Walks for Hard Times a healing tool for anyone tripped by adversity. Read an Excerpt
