Excactly.
Fortunately, I live in a very rural area, and the lush hills and forests are just five footsteps away! It has never even entered my mind to bring/use a cellphone whether I am walking or running - kind of spoils the whole point.
As I understand it, most of the world's geniuses have come up with all their greatest ideas when in some form of motion -it certainly applies to me….(!) When walking in nature, I can actually physically feel my mind expand and breathe, and the palette of my thoughts become more inspired and intense.
Coming from a strict Christian upbringing, I was early on programmed to accept all forms of "unconscious" meditation as "sin," and a gateway to devilish influence. At an early age, I therefore decided to be "extra-conscious" when awake, to always try and put a very much rational-spiritual filter onto my experience. "Be in this world but not of it" can only take you so far, it seems.
Blessed be - Namasté
