While
walking
give
special
attention
to
my
suggestions
concerning
breathing.
Breathe
deeply
and
fully
at
frequent
intervals.
Expand
the
body
in
the
abdominal
region.
If
you
like,
you
can
carry
your
breathing
still
farther
and
allow
this
expansion
to
extend
to
the
chest
walls,
though
as
a
rule,
this
is
not
necessary.
No
doubt
one
of
the
most
valuable
suggestions
for
strength
and
vitality
building
while
walking
is
to
take
at
frequent
periods
several
movements
which
are
referred
to
in
the
chapter
on
Thyroid
Stimulation,
namely,
the
chin-in-downward-
and-backward
motion
while
holding
a
full
breath
with
abdomen
fully
expanded.
In
fact
this
idea,
if
carried
out
until
the
muscles
of
the
back
of
the
neck
are
fatigued
at
the
completion
of
the
walk,
will
energize
you
mentally
and
physically.
A
suggestion
that
I
have
often
offered
in
various
articles
upon
this
subject
is
to
practice
what
I
may
term
harmonious
or
rhythmic
breathing,
which
I
regard
as
of
exceptional
value.
By
this
I
mean
taking
the
same
amount
of
time
to
draw
in
the
breath
as
you
do
to
exhale
it,
keeping
time
with
a
certain
number
of
steps.
For
instance,
while
taking
eight
steps,
draw
in
a
breath
and
exhale
during
the
next
eight
steps.
You
may
make
this
six,
eight,
ten
or
twelve
steps
if
you
like.
If
you
have
some
piece
of
music
in
mind
that
carries
with
it
a
rhythm
that
accommodates
itself
to
your
steps
while
walking,
and
if
each
inhalation
and
exhalation
takes
up
an
even
number
of
steps,
you
will
find
that
you
are
swinging
along
with
a
sense
of
harmony
and
pleasure
that
will
make
distances
pass
away
and
cause
you
to
be
unconscious
of
the
length
of
your
walk.
This
rhythmic
or
harmonious
breathing
is
an
excellent
means
of
cultivating
the
deep-breathing
habit.
