Rhythm-Walking

It’s Sovereignty. It’s Flow. It’s Core Energy.

Rhythm-Walking liberates the core energetic flow of the body with immersive rhythm. Transcendence comes from connecting to this natural, irrepressible flow.

I noticed in a gymnastics competition that there was a natural flow to mat work and extended running sequences, like roundoff back-handsprings and aerials. This flow emerged on the basketball court when the team worked as a unit. The flow emerged again in African Dance when the drummers ignited an irrepressible groove the dancers moved to in unison across the dance floor. It is the same flow found in rhythmic long-distance walking with immersive DJ-style music.

The body may feel wary at first when transitioning from sedentariness to this form of movement. The mind may criticize or cling to daily task management engagement.

Keep going.

After a short time, the music will soothe and lift the body out of this set mind (leaving behind the mindset) as breathing increases, metabolic processes heat up, and the dominant leg muscles connect to the ground.

Play curated playlists below or any playlist you create/find that turns on your mojo switch. Once you’ve been grounded enough through your core and leg muscles, the energy will rise to the upper body and an effortlessness will arise that feels like something ‘clicking’ into place. This is the body clicking into its own intelligence.

Namaste,
