   * Walking at ones own pace creates an unadulterated feedback loop between the rhythm of [one's] body and [one's] mental state"; in other words, it allows creativity to flow.

   * The prostrating walk in Chine Buddhism. The monk enters a concentration or one pint-state as much as possible, faces in the direction he wishes to traverse, and lies flat on his face on the ground; when he gets up he plants his feet where his face had been when he was lying down, gathers his concentration again, and so on. It's much like the movement of an inch-worm, except that with each prostration he advances about five feet. For centuries Buddhist monks developing their vipassana concentration, or one-point attention to the present moment, would vow do to this excersice for a year, usually circumambulating a mountain with prostrations.One famous monk did this for forty years, then became a teacher of the dharma in his old age.   * The prostrating walk in Chine Buddhism.
